The PS3's install base continues to grow in Japan and with it, its software sales. Sega's
Yakuza 3 has taken the top spot in the Japanese software charts -- one of the few PS3 titles to claim such a lofty achievement so far. With 181,000 units sold, it managed to outsell the rest of the top five titles combined. Perhaps the use of
clever marketing
tools helped this title's sales? Or maybe it was the attractive Satin Silver
PS3 bundle?
Regardless, we're sure both Sony and Sega are quite pleased with these numbers. Hopefully, it won't be too long before more PS3 titles climb the software sales charts.
For the rest of the bestsellers, check out
Next Gen.

PLEASE SEGA, bring Yakuza to Europe and the US!

The satin silver PS3 is long overdue everywhere.

I can't wait for this to come state-side. Hopefully they'll have the option to have the original Japanese language track with subtitles....

I can’t wait for “Yakuza 5”, THE ZATOICHI SAGA!
Shintaro Katsu (the BNS), FTW...
