PS3 is on fire in Japan thanks to two key releases: a peripheral and a sequel.
For the week covering March 15 through March 21, data from ASCII Media Works shows the system topping the hardware charts for the first time in three months. PS3's 45,000 units sold represents a jump of 69.5% over the previous week.
The reason for the system's sudden surge are Torne and Yakuza 4, both released on the 18th.
Looks like Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have something in the oven to celebrate the anniversary of the Like a Dragon / Yakuza franchise.
Geez, don't we already have two or three games coming out soon? Anyway, more Yakuza games are always good.
Includes Yakuza: Like A Dragon and the entire Kazuma Kiryu saga.
I already own all these digital+physical.So good to see more people will get to enjoy them.
Wonder why Fist of North Star isnt being added
So excited about the next Yakuza Like a Dragon I enjoyed that game much more than I thought K would have, went and got the platinum and everything.
I'm still wondering why Horizon Forbidden West Delux Edition hasn't been added yet. Still hopeful it might get added in September 2022. Come Sony, do the smart business move and add all your first party games Day 1 on PlayStation Plus Premium.
How is that smart? you just admitted to want to spend $18 for one month whenever a game comes out rather than $70 per game? Their sales are perfectly fine so low sales isn't a valid reason. Relying on subscription numbers is a losing game. You can't guarantee enough people will sub. 20 million subs doesn't beat 10 million copies sold at $30. (my average of the cost of a game over 3 years) For one game you make 300 million vs for the sub plan at 20 million paying 10 dollars a month (200 million) you have to pay out to all those developers before you can even count your money.
No chance it comes to plus plus this year. It will come when sales die down.
This is a dumb idea for a franchise thats almost certain to hit 10mil lifetime.they would lose 10's if not a hundred million dollars.
Two years from now when the horizons, ghost and gow's do come to the service xbox might be in trouble.they have nothing to compete with this line even years down the line.
Its called strategy.
I just brought judgement the game is great don't know how I missed it so now I'm planning on buying all the yakuza games so this is great for me.
It's early days but this new service is looking better and better. The full Yakuza series! And with the monthly games this month too. Fantastic month
That was the only Yakuza game I was missing. Might be the best month of all time for me.
Cultured Vultures: Ash has a massive backlog of games, lovingly dubbed the Pile of Shame, but its existence is beginning to become bothersome.
good news for sony...
Please Sony we need Torne here...please please!
Go Sony
expected
We need Legend of Dragoon II. With scale that rivals God of War III, to be honest the scale of the first game was seemingly big as well, given it was pre-rendered backgrounds.
