Well i got a feeling that the next Yakuza game will increase in sales, where as i could see SMG falling in sales, and mostly selling to past owners. The thing is Yakuza will raise sales for 1 or 2 weeks, where as SMG will probably do more to maintain sales than bump it. You're right, my logic at first hadn seems a bit off, but Yakuza's influence just seems bigger to me.
Take it this way, i dont see people wanting to buy a wii for SMG2, however i do see it happening for Yakuza 4, its a growing series on the PS3 and hasnt established itself yet(maybe this version will).
And i do agree the 2 major hardware pushers for now seem like GT5 vs NSMB. But the smaller games that keep the momentum going are on PS3's favor now, especially in the longer run
