In Feb 09 Yakuza 3 releases in Japan and it is actually pretty big in Japan looking at the numbers from the past games so with that said what do you think the LTD sales for Yakuza 3 will be? I think it will beat WKC with ease, 500K LTD sounds about right to me.

LTD is life to date, which is currently 0. You're looking for lifetime sales, I guess.

500k sounds right

Nice smart ass comment but how about at least answering the thread question?

I wasn't being a smart ass. I'm contributing by letting you know that the term you used doesn't mean what you think it means.

I don't do predictions.

Between 550-600K.

Yakuza is very nearly as big as Metal Gear Solid in Japan.

Sega has done a lot for Sony, for the sake of them both Sony need to advertise the hell out of Yakuza 3 and make it big in NA and EU.

I'll be optimistic and say between 600-700k! It's probably the biggest game on console in japan for Q1 so ... And I'll even be more optimistic and say 1,5M WW!

600-750k Japan
1.5-2M WW

Yakuza is a sandbox game and they always do well, Sony could at least advertise this one and get huge sales outside NA and EU. NEVER seen a Yakuza advert, Sony need to make sure that changes.
