Yeah I know but the guy said it sold almost 1 mil while the retail sales are at 728k. As far as I know, the digital sales might be 1k like it might be 250k.

Something makes me think that this IGN article would have been written a whole lot differently if MGS5 were on a Nintendo platform and achieved the same sales


Boohoo.

Nah.  Peacewalker is more of a portable experience.  I actually think it would suck on a console.  And I don't see it being ported to a PSP2.  If anything, the PSP2 would probably be backwards compatible.  I stand by my 3DS statement.

First Chinatown Wars, now Metal Gear 5.  PSP can't sell mature games confirmed.


damn, bump for respectful and cheeky irony



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
