According to early data uncovered by the Japanese site,
Drill-No Blog,
Yakuza 3 has sold 380,000 units in its first week -- the second-best launch for a PS3 game in that country. If the numbers are accurate,
Yakuza 3 (
Ry? ga Gotoku 3 in Japan) will only have been bested by Konami's 2008 powerhouse,
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which sold around 465,000 units in
its first week. Unfortunately, according to a comment Sega made to
VG247, Western gamers may never get a chance to continue the adventures of Kiryu Kazuma as the publisher has no plans to bring the game to North America at this time.
