The Switch port of Yakuza Kiwami is "selling like hotcakes"

While the late release of Yakuza Kiwami on Nintendo's hybrid on October 24 was brushed off by many, it seems SEGA was in the right.

In an interview, Masayoshi Yokoyama, CEO of RGG Studio, spoke about the reception of the new port.

"It seems that Kiwami is selling like hotcakes. I'm delighted. The company's management had made sales forecasts, but I was way off the mark. I think I looked at things too conservatively."

"Thanks to the Amazon Prime series and other factors, the game has finally arrived on the Switch. Although, technically, it's just a port. And it's only available as a digital download. But even so, the fact that people are willing to play it again makes me really happy as a game developer."
