MGS PEACE WALKER Japan's Selling Date Announced. Is it HOT for Japanese?
PSP's "METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER" has announced the selling date.
March 18, 2010.
A popular series so worth notice huh.
However.
What?
METAL GEAR SOLID is NOT hot at all in Japan.
What the!?
It sales good outside Japan, but here at the country of birth that's not the case. PS3's METAL GEAR SOLID 4 did well just because there was no other game to play on PS3, nothing do with its popularity.
But it sales over 0.7 million in Japan.
That's only 18% of the worldwide sales 4 million. As it is made in Japan, it should do better in its homeland. But the fact is that the performance is corresponding to the world's market ratio.
Huh.
Consider this situation and think about the sales of the coming MGS PEACE WALKER.
How many can it sell?
Popularity of PSP in Japan is better than other countries, so it should not be difficult for it to hit 0.25 million. MGS Portable OPS had hit 0.18 million in the first week, so it needs to clear that score this time.
0.25 million is easy then.
Some data show that Portable OPS had sold 0.35 million, but I don't know if that included the sales figure of "MGS Portable OPS+". Anyway the sales should directly reflecting the number of MGS fan in Japan, therefore it's not that hot.
Oh...
Fan of course should look forward to the game, but normal people know nothing about it. It uses PSP multi-play function, if that is interesting there may be a chance to increase the number of player. So let's see.
