Yakuza 3 was heavily advertised in Japan right?
Was Kenzan heavily advertised to? Advertising ain't cheap guys.

Y3 had some great ads and Kenzan had some much less so.

Kenzan sold well enough to get Yakuza 3 on PS3. Yakuza 3 sold well enough, despite being much more expensive with lots of ads, is profitable.

And that's my point. Kenzan sold well. Just irritated at the negativity here.

half of kenzan was also developed fo r the ps2. dev cost wouldnt be the same as a ps3 title and being a spin off the budget was probablly less to begin with or else it probably wouldnt of gotten the green light

That's why I don't get it, why they keep on saying that Kenzan sold poorly. It's a spin-off for crying out loud.
