Update: Well,  the games producer, Toshihiro Nogashi, revealed on his personal blog that the game has sold over 300,000 units in its first week.

Original: Well, it looks like the game is a true success in Japan because Enterbrain, the publisher of Famitsu, has revealed that Yakuza 3 has sold over 232,000 units in Japan on its first day.

This means that it’s between Metal Gear Solid 4 (465,000) and White Knight Story (207,000) when it comes to first day sales. Also, the series spin off, Yakuza Kenzan, sold only 181,000 copies during its first week on the marketing, meaning that this game has surpassed it.
