Microsoft is probably the only one with means to do so, and even though most of their games have been sucking lately, this would be a huge win for any of the three console publishers.
Sure, there's Street Fighter, Resident Evil, etc, but they'd also be getting a huge catalog of other great IPs like Devil May Cry, Breath of Fire, Final Fight, etc.
I've always thought that the way to make Yakuza popular in western territories is to make a western Yakuza. Final Fight with a good story tacked to it, open world, and Yakuza gameplay, Sega could add a demo of the most recent Yakuza game on each disc, so the people play it see that it has similar gameplay with a Japanese story. Might do well to push sales.
