It hasn't done that bad imo. With a decent launch in Japan it should find it's way to 1.2m worldwide ) when all is said and done, which is round about where most games in the genre end up outside of DMC and God of War. Unless Konami were expecting the game to randomly sell as much as DMC despite being a new series (Not new IP) I'd imagine it's just about in line with expectation.
Depends on if the holidays help sell a decent amount of copies, it's tracking quite behind Bayonetta but should show stronger legs with holiday sales.
MGS Rising should do better then MGS4 too, what with the PS3 userbase having grown, the 360 side of things to draw from and MGS4's performance to draw from anyway.
If anything is a cause for Konami's concern it should be how far behind PES has fallen from FIFA now - PES2011 already had it's priced slashed in the UK just a week after launch and FIFA continues to take more and more of the market. While I'm sure Konami are still making a pretty penny from these low-cost yearly releases, it's nothing like it was in the PS2 days when FIFA was 'second' football game.
