Toshihiro Nagoshi of SEGA notes that their open-world franchise of Yakuza will most probably be sticking with PlayStation as Sony "showed interest".
They tried reaching out to every platform holder but they were "negative" about Yakuza, until Sony was won over by SEGA. It's not heading for Xbox 360.
