But in 3 months, Sega's still going to be giving interviews about how badly mismatched Madworld was for the Wii audience. ___________
So true!

I think the point we are missing here is that Yakuza 3 did more than its expectation in Japan, thats why they released Yakuza 4 within a year and it is also selling above Yakuza 3 in Japan. So i think Yakuza 3 did bring a bit profit to Sega in Japan. So bringing the Y3 was to test if it can be well recieved in Western world.. And i dont think it would have lost them much either.. So its a calculated risk which even after failure i think i didnt harm them much.
Thats my point of view of the things.
