| Ka-pi96 said: That's very true. It definitely had the potential to be much bigger in the west than it currently is. Sega just screwed it up and even when they've had chances to correct that, the HD re-releases, they didn't even try to change it. If they had a Yakuza game ready within the first year of PS4 for the west as well then maybe they could have found some success then, but now whatever they do is probably going to be a case of too little too late. |
I honestly don't think it's too late. I just don't think they're doing what they need to to make it work. Make Yakuza 6 a game that can be played without knowing the prior games, like with MGSV. Market it as like the Japanese GTA meets MGS camp (even though we all know it's not), and give it some damn good dub voice actors. Market it a little, not even a ton, and it'll guaranteed get like 600-800K sales in the west, if not more. It doesn't need to be some megaton seller, but Jesus Christ, they're sending it to fucking die over here currently.
