The Playstation 3 got a new model and a price drop last September in Japan. Not only did that combination resulted in increased hardware sales, it also caused a sales spike for one of the best exclusive games on the system: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

In an interview with Japanese gaming site Mainichi (via Andriasang), the president of Enterbrain, Hirokazu Hamamura, stated that Hideo Kojima has told him that the sales for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots have improved after Sony launched the cheaper Playstation 3 slim model in Japan last fall.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released worldwide on June 12, 2008.

Great! great! for one of the best games this gen.

excellent, but where's the damn trophy patch konami had been promising last year?

I'd really like to see MGS4 reach the 5million mark.

@Kavitron

exactly what i was going to say, its been a year since that promise i doubt if there going to release one

Never mind the trophy patch, where's the extended edition of MGS4 that we had some rumors about?

They didn't promisse to release a trophy patch. They only said they were listening to our pleas.

5 million, soon!

If this game gets trophies and the online mode is back in action i'll buy it.

I'm sure a lot of other game sales went up aswell, the PS3 sold over a million consoles in Japan in the last few months.
