Sega recently released the "Yakuza HD Collection" in Japan - which is a hit franchise of GTA level there - with very dissapointing results.
The HD Collection features both Yakuza and Yakuza 2, equipped with higher-res textures and was released on the Wii U in Japan last week.
It sold less than 2000 Copies.
In other news, Yakuza: Ishin was announced in Japan today.

The Game seems to be set in Japan's history and feature real poltical figure Ryoma Sakamoto.
Um...holy fucking ouch...

I think it's probably more that the games have been out for a long time and only on Sony console, so the only people that currently play them own Sony consoles. There isn't necessarily even a demand for Yakuza on Nintendo consoles at all.
That said, if they bring it here I will buy it.
Not to mention those who don't want to buy HD remakes of games they already own and still work...
