I know that the sales outside japan are bad. But they can still make a little profit and more people like me can enjoy the game :P

 

Localization is cheap enough to make up in 40,000 sales?

I doubt it when you include manufacturing costs and all sorts of other extras.

I'd get it though.

Assuming it's out when i remember.  Unlike the other two which came out like what.... 2-3 years later?

Consider the fact that most of the retailers around here didn't even carry Yakuza 2, I think it did alright. Only place around here that even sold Yakuza 2 was Gamestop. Also, the game was released late in the PS2 age. With actual advertising, this game could be moderate to huge in other places in the world.

Which... I wouldn't count on.  There is nothing to suggest it won't be treated the same way.

Also... there is no gurantee it that advertising would produce great results... and advertising costs money.
