From this week’s Media Creates sales round up it’s not surprising that Kiwami 2 is at the top of the charts! Will it be able to maintain its lead? Since this month is kinda dead for releases in Japan I’d like to think so. Surprisingly it’s a little light especially for a Yakuza title. Not even beating out the original Kiwami hopefully this isn’t a bad sign for the series but it is a PS4 exclusive and a non mainline title so hopefully Shin Ryu Ga Gotoku stacks up better next year!
Thanks to Siliconera for putting together sales data from previous entries in the series we can see how it stacks up:
(2010) Yakuza 4 – 383,972 [PS3]
(2011) Yakuza: Dead Souls – 307,019 [PS3]
(2012) Yakuza 5 – 356,757 [PS3]
(2014) Yakuza Restoration/Ishin – 220,698 [PS4/PS3]
(2015) Yakuza 0 – 236,329 [PS4/PS3]
(2016) Yakuza Kiwami – 163,683 [PS4/PS3]
