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!

Yeah, you got a good point here. And from what I quickly checked, the ratio PS3/PS4 is not consistant between games so it will not be possible to use that either as an early (and weak) indicator for PS4 expected launch in Japan. (which was the initial idea)

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

Nice increase again for Kirby.

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

what's the surprise?

51 days you mean! lol If it was 51 weeks and Yakuza already charted then MH/Pokemon numbers confirmed. xD

Really though, doing surprisingly well. You go Glen Coco.

Vita island makes me laugh.

Reminds me of this

Also this makes me remember how Toukiden kind of came out of nowhere.
