dat Kirby

I don't understand the pricing for Japanese games, seems like every title varies in price. Also why is Kirby considerably cheaper?

Nice increase again for Kirby.

Am I the only one surprised by the fact Yakusa Ishin is only going up on PS3 ?

Considering the launch of the PS4 in the west, I was expecting the PS4 pre order to be stronger for this game as compared to PS3 preorder (something like 50/50).

I know the install base is off course bigger for PS3 but this may be a sign that Japanese are not so much in a rush to make the switch. (Still 51 weeks to go, it may be too early to tell anyway)

@ bold - Not a single PS4 game outsold its PS3 counterpart so far, though (aside from Need for Speed which is a bit of an odd case). Most of them haven't sold even close. Expecting it from Yakuza seems a bit of a stretch.

@ underlined - They're not, and I don't think anyone should be expecting them to. They're still buying PSP's!
