Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker debuts in Japan at #2

How many years has it been since we last got our Metal Gear on? In any case, there was a lot of anticipation going into the release of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in Japan, but it seems that there was a more-wanted title in the radar. Care to take a guess?

That game is Square Enix’s Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, which outsold everyone else in the previous week with 624,000 copies in its debut. Peace Walker, in the meantime, settled for second with 434,000, but with all the ads in that game, they probably made more money anyway.

Here’s the top ten in Japan:

1. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 (DS) – 624,000 (new)
2. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP) – 434,000 (new)
