Whether it’s Metal Gear Solid 5’s signature stealth component, the top-notch gunplay, the in-depth story, or even the new Fulton surface-to-air recovery system, it’s obvious that Kojima-san made sure each detail was practically impeccable before the game’s release.
For this episode, we’re taking a look at the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain ending, which by all intents and purposes, is the real ending to the franchise that gaming legend Hideo Kojima built, regardless if Konami pushes through with more Metal Gear Solid games. More detailed sales data from GKF Chart-Track in the United Kingdom reveals another interesting statistic as well: the game sold more than three times as many copies on PlayStation 4 than on Xbox One.
It has also become the UK’s third fastest seller of the year after Batman: Arkham Knight and The Witcher III. We don’t have the digital sales for the release on PC as yet.
Beyond The Phantom Pain and Mad Max, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and Until Dawn were still strong performers following their respective bows last week, while Disney Infinity 3.0 continued its strong run by rounding out the top 5. Easter egg, or the one that celebrates players’ birthdays with a Diamond Dog cake. It released to Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One less than a week ago on September 1, 2015, and like its predecessor, has shipped over 3 million copies worldwide.
