Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Sale Records Surprises Developers

The gaming world is buzzing with excitement over the unexpected success of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.” This latest entry in the beloved series has shattered sales records, surprising even its creators with its rapid success. In just the first week following its release, the game shipped over one million copies worldwide, a feat that has left Masayoshi Yokoyama, the studio head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, both surprised and delighted.

Traditionally, games in the “Like a Dragon” series, formerly known in the West as “Yakuza,” have enjoyed a slow but steady increase in sales, largely driven by word-of-mouth recommendations.
