Yakuza 3 (Ryuu gaGotoku Kenzan!) has earned the #1 position of this week’s game sales ranking. Yakuza 3 takes place in Edo era right after the battle of Sekigahara in 1605. The main character that player can control is Musashi Miyamoto, a legendary samurai.
For those people who have read previous weekly game sales rankings, you can see that there is one factor that greatly affects the sales ranking. That’s the characters in the game. Although those titles do not last long on the chart, it is still a reason that many Japanese people (mostly otaku people) buy games.
Seikaijyu no Meikyu (aka Etrian Odyssey) for Nintendo DS, as many people in Japan expected, has earned #1 position of this week’s Famitsu game sales ranking.
