We're Sure Japan Are Ready For More Of This.

The game however has managed to be a huge success without Western sales mind. Over a half a million people in Japan own the game making it a rip-roaring success.

"For example if main character Kiryu Kazuma went to outer space or fought zombies, I think fans would accept that and say, 'I get it.'"

"This title will be a PLAYSTATION 3 game," says Nagoshi.</blockquote>
