Those are some incredible first day sales, even if the game is fairly frontloaded. With 4 days in the week to sell (released on the 22nd, data comes in for the week ending the 26th), this could have somewhere around 300-350k first week. Impressive.

"Yakuza 3 sells 359k in first day"

Which one is true?

This one. It seems unlikely to me that Yakuza outsold all previous literation's of the game

^ I was going to ask that same exact thing.

Isn't that the number of shipped units?

doesn't add up. 232.000 = 60%     232.000:60x100% = 386666 units

@ Simulacrum )

maybe both are true, if the 359k was the first shipment SEGA sold - if you calculate back the whole shipment from the sellthrough/first day numbers you end up at roughly that number

@ Neos )

you don't take into account, that both the sales number and the sellthrough are without a doubt rounded numbers (and estimates)

Usually, the japanese are very precise in these things =P

eh lost my bet but still great Yakuza 3 sales, I did my part as well ;)

Very nice sales for Yakuza 3.

I say over 30K PS3 sold this week easy. Possibly 40k since I am sure all 10K Dragon Etched Yakuza 3 PS3 bundles will sell without a doubt.

Are those 10k even added into this number?
