Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Sells Over 37,000 Units on Japanese Debut
Famitsu has released the latest weekly data for hardware and physical software sales in Japan, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has debuted high in the charts. The collection occupies second and third place with its Switch and PS5 versions respectively, collectively having sold over 37,000 physical units at launch (over 19,000 on Switch, and over 13,000 on PS5).
It has, however, not been able to take the top spot, which is still occupied by Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The acclaimed 2D platformer debuted on top of the charts last week with over 638,000 units sold, and in its second week, it has managed to hold on to the No. 1 position quite comfortably, having sold an additional 163,000+ units. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has slipped down to No. 4, selling over 12,000 units in its second week.
On the hardware side of things, the Nintendo Switch takes the lead once more, surprising no one, having moved over 66,000 units. What is a surprise, however, is the Xbox Series X/S having outsold the PS5, something that has very rarely happened in Japan- though ultimately, neither of the two has posted impressive numbers.
