Yakuza 2 was released in NA two years after all three next gen consoles had come out and it was released with no English voice acting (merely subtitles) and no marketing whatsoever. What kind of sales were they expecting for the title?
The only reason Yakuza 3 won't sell is because of how badly they handled the past Yakuza games stateside. |
Really? That's just pathetic. Can't believe they'd screw up that badly on a game like this. And I'm pretty sure a game like Yakuza can sell pretty well in the West.

It finally came out September 08 or so.
If they had localized the games in a timely manner (even the first only hit in late 06 or something like that) and marketed them as a Japanese GTA or something like that, they totally could've sold a few hundred thousand per game at least.

Isn't Yakuza basically a Japanese GTA anyway?

It's not as open world, but it's similar.
