Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ships over 1 million copies in a week

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the latest mainline entry in the long-running Yakuza (now Like a Dragon) franchise. Though it was originally a rather niche series, the Yakuza games have seen a strong and rapid growth over the past generation – with Infinite Wealth having managed to ship an impressive 1 million copies in just a week.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the team behind the Like a Dragon series – RGG Studio – said “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 1 Million Units Shipped Globally. We are incredibly grateful to all our friends around the world for their support. Thank you.”

For context, the previous mainline entry in the series – 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon – took almost 3 years to sell 1.8 million copies.

Considering the fact that Infinite Wealth achieved over half of this in just one week suggests that the latest title could wind up being the best-selling entry in the franchise’s nearly two-decade-long history.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
