Not long after the PS3 celebrated its second birthday, Japanese gaming mag Famitsu publishes the console's highlights, as well as it's best-selling titles. None other than Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots finds a seat as PS3's best-seller in Japan. Who else made it to the list? Find out in the full article.
In commemoration of PS3's second birthday, Famitsu wrote a small feature on the console's highlights, as well as a list of the PS3's best-selling titles in Japan as of November 16th, 2008.
Coming in at #1 is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, selling 671,706 since its launch.
Here's the Top 5:
| Num. | Title | Publisher | Release Date | Sales (as at Nov 16, 2008) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #@%!14 15#@%! | Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots | Konami | Jun 12, 2008 | 671,706 |
| #@%!1415#@%! | Minna no Golf 5 | SCEJ | Jul 26, 2007 | 408,175 |
| #@%!14 15#@%! | Shin Sangoku Musou 5 | Koei | Nov 11, 2007 | 371,443 |
| #@%!14 15#@%! | Gundam Musou | Namco Bandai | Mar 1, 2007 | 317,580 |
| #@%!14 15#@%! | World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 | Konami | Nov 22, 2007 | 316,533 |
Despite being the newest release on that chart, MGS4 has absolutely no problem leaving the competition in the dust. Haven't played Minna no Golf 5, so I don't know how that made it to top two, but I suppose the Japanese are crazy about it. World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008, on the other hand, is definitely a keeper (no pun intended).
