i am confused didnt that game come out last March or Feb in Japan???? It sold like 200 something or whatever. Was that not Yakuza 3?

That was Kenzan.

Besides, the Yakuza series sells much differently than any other series in Japan. The first two will sell 300-350k in the first two months and double their sales whenever the cheaper edition comes out. Look at Yakuza 1 and 2 sales. It's crazzy man.

I wonder if Kenzan got a big boost, it just recently got cheaper (earlier this month)

I have noticed that ioi struggles to track the cheaper versions of PS3 games. My Summer Vacation 3 got one and sales didn't go up the week of release despite it selling over 1k by Famitsu. A few weeks later it popped up doing 700-800. I checked back and sure enough, sales were around 1k for the week.
