So true!

Actually when seeing if Yakuza 3 has "bombed" or not people would compare it to Yakuza 1 & 2 sales, and ye know what, its basically selling like those did except slightly better I think. So Yakuza 3 "bombing" isn't a big deal since 1 & 2 bombed just as spectacularly. 

And adding in Japan sales no-one is worried about the game financially.

We'll see if all that holds up in case Monster Hunter Tri doesn't become a blockbuster in the West.

QUIET YOU, I wanted to make the first "MH Tri is a MAJOR flop in the west, we need to talk about it" thread!

Now you've ruined the element of surprise.
