Kojima: Metal Gear Rising is selling well worldwide

Very nice to see those sales.
Looks like the combination of MG,Platinum, and action was worth it. We should definitely see a sequel unless someone buys out platinum.

Nice.

I know Bayonetta did well in the west surprisingly (surpassing expectations anyway due to the marketing blitz it had) so with the MG name attached to it, Rising could do even better.
 
Platinum really delivered on Rising and Konami definitely deserves props for being willing to go ahead with the deal. It was a perfect match. The sales vindicate everything.

IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY.

Like a BOSS.
 
I have yet to buy my copy... you can add +1 to the total sales. :P
I hope Bayonetta 2 will see similar success (although it will be difficult with a smaller userbase), and it will help increase Platinum's reputation.
 
big shoutout also to Hideo Kojima for coming to PG and ask them to make the game.

Don't worry, Kojima and Konami will totally make a damn sequel.

Kojima has been asking for a sequel since September. It's totally happening. Build it from the ground up for next gen on Fox Engine and let me cut goddamn everything.

I hope the team also sees how much fans love the game. Sales are one thing but the near unanimous praise from players must feel great.
 
Just for the record, two cats are having obnoxiously loud sex outside of my apartment.

I'm just going to assume they're as happy about these numbers as the rest of us, and decided to express themselves through mating.

Or they're just abiding by the rules of nature.

Kojima wants to push for Rising 2 on the Fox Engine going by a recent interview/article so if that were to happen for - I guess - next gen, I would literally be all -

quick someone makes a PG* themed printingmoney.gif
they don't, I doubt Konami offered a cut of sales, at least not anything above meager

pretty pluiz

Rising 2 confirmed I suppose. GOOD, PG* needs to work on PS720 ASAP.
PG* needs to beef up its marketing/art team and produce an IP with mass appeal ASAP while they can ride the Rising wave
 
Obviously the Metal Gear label is playing into effect here but: Platinum Games + Advertising Budget = Success. Bayonetta is the only other game of theirs that enjoyed anything of a TV ad or two, and that was their biggest seller. If you cant afford a marketing campaign to get this shit into peoples eyes, the publisher is already failing (which is what Sega does best of course).
 
Nice, I really want to play it but don't own any of the old consoles anymore. I wonder if these strong numbers will fan the fires of that potential pc-port Konami was discussing before MGR hit the shelves.
 
Really happy for Platinum. Well deserved

Also anecdotal but on the trophy site I use

http://psnprofiles.com/

I've never seen that many players on the "popular games" list. (10,000 + players)

no idea how that number is calculated, but it's been like that for a few days

can only mean alot of fucking people are playing this game
