Toshihiro Nagoshi, designer of SEGA’s Ryu Ga Gotoku, hinted that the game sold 300,000 copies. It’s sold more, way more. Just released official numbers put it at 372,000 copies sold.

The game’s success also meant a huge PS3 spike. During the Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 debut week, sales of the PLAYSTATION 3 jumped 225 percent to 35,000 units. (Note: This sales data is early.)
This means that Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 falls second to the numbers MGS4 posted in its first week.
