Why not move Yakuza Kenzen to PSP or Yakuza 3 to multiplat. Why even make Yakuza 4. I bet VC cost less money then those games and got similiar sales. and you can wait awhile for that port.

VC certainly did not manage similar sales, at least not in the same markets at the same pricepoints.  Which is probably why they moved it to more viable home.

Kenzan and Y3 shared development budget, bringing down costs for each.  It's really the rare Sega success story on PS3, managed through good promotion, an attractive brand and smart R&D.

Kenzan was a Ps2 game ported to the Ps3. I doubt it shared dev costs

and you are right... it didnt get similiar sales. It got more.
