Another awesome Yakuza game, hope this one makes out of Japan too

It will most definitelly.

That depends on the sales of Y3, Sega said that themselves.

Seeing as how Yakuza 2 only sold roughly 50k in NA and that seemed enough for Sega to bring Yakuza 3 over to the west, i'd say we're in good hands lol.  There was almost 30k for Yakuza 3 preorders so im sure another 20k wont be too hard to bring in any time soon. (hopefully lol).

"After so much trouble with the localization of Yakuza 3, many fans are growing weary about Yakuza 4 releasing outside of Japan."

.....what exactly were the troubles other then about cutting out some of the game?

-

"It’s not a question I can really answer for you, but I would encourage all fans of the series to show their support for Yakuza by picking up a copy [of Yakuza 3]. At the end of the day, numbers often speak loudest."

....Well seeing as how this will probably sell more than Yakuza 2 in NA, would that qualify as loud enough numbers? It'd be nice if Sega gave a ballpark figure thatll decide of Yakuza 4 can head west or not.

I showed my support by picking up Yakuza 3 yesterday over FFXIII .
