As Metal Gear Solid gets ready to hit PS Vita (in the shape of the Collection, which comprises MGS2 and MGS3) sales of the struggling console have doubled in Japan. Whilst the Collection won’t land in the UK until the end of the month, it’s out soon elsewhere and the upcoming release seems to be having a positive effect on hardware sales.
That, and the shipping of Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed: Battle Destiny, which has sold well in Japan.
Whilst the news is indeed good, it’s hardly earth shattering, seeing as the portable was only moving around 7,000 units last week, increasing to around 13,000 this. That said, it did sell more than the PSP for the first time in five months, which is – whichever way you look at it – encouraging.
Let’s hope that this sudden buoyancy is sustained.
stueeeee
I’m sure the MGS collection will do better over there anyway as the ps3 version was just the two games together as well. Here however I feel a bit ripped off as I’m paying just a bit less and it’s missing Peace Walker :-(
