Big in Japan: Yakuza 3

The weekly Japanese software sales figures from Media Create are in, showing that SEGA's Yakuza 3 on PS3 has done gangbuster business for the publisher - and the platform holder if early hardware figures are to be believed.

The title screamed to the top of the chart in its first week of sale (23/02 - 02/03), nestling itself 153,000 sales clear of the nearest contender Shin Sangoku Musou MULTI RAID (aka Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce) for the PSP from KOEI.
