Forums - Sony - Yakuza 3 and the Playstation 3 in Japan

jman8 said:
200,000 games and 80,000 PS3s sold in first week. 500,000 lifetime. If it sees a western release, 750,000 lifetime.

80k PS3 sales? That's like... a joke, right?

25k PS3 (maybe) - and around 200k for sales week#1.

The typical existing PS3 owner, is also the typical person who would buy this game. Its not selling to a different audience.

But one make prediction based on past history.. and so far the history of PS3 is from partial to total failure for software in Japan except for couple of very rare incidents where it did better than expectation... or the expectation are now lowered somewhat



Yakuza, what?
Ah, that game.

Well, 150-250 first week. PS3, 40 k.
2008 - 450-550 k.

I think it will sell some 180-200K units first week in Japan .Hardware will go to 40-42K units again .

And the PS3 isnt a failure in Japan software wise .Big games have sold well ,middle-budget games have sold decent (Disgaea 3,Bladestorm ) etc .Some games have bombed as Folklore and a couple more but nothing drastic theres always games that bomb .I think sales for GT5 Prologue ,DMC4,Disgaea 3,Dynasty Warriors 6,Bladestorm,Everybodys Golf 5,Pro Evolution Soccer2008 have been really good .Occidental games as Uncharted ,Assasins Creed ,Ratchet and Clank ,Lair ,Oblivion ,Call of Duty 4 ,Heavenly Sword have been worse but still decent numbers and an improvement over these non-japanese games in the past.



LTD in Japan I think it will surpass 350K units .

And if it receives a worlwide release it can sell 1 million units .



It will definatly do over 100k , maybe even 200k in Japan . I dont see this game being bigger than DMC , maybe it will be = with all the hype its getting . Also , DMC4 had a 360 version to , that took away small chunk of sales ...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

LOL ,

at least 250k first week
50k for the PS3
but not a lot of legs

remember Yakuza > DMC in japan
and exclusive to PS3



Time to Work !

I'm going to say 130k first week.

PS3 hardware up to 30k.
