Top-seller: Yakuza: Of the End – 298,717
Nintendo 3DS sales: 24,649 | Total sales: 1,089,548
While everyone else was busy with E3, Yakuza: Of the End made its debut in Japan last week. How did it do? It (naturally) debuted at the top of the chart, and sold close to 300,000 units in a week.
For comparison, Yakuza 4 sold a far higher 383,972 units during the week of its own debut in March 2010. Eventually, Yakuza 4 went on to become the best-selling PlayStation 3 game of 2010, with 577,199 units sold by the end of the year.
