Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain – Will It Follow Ground Zeroes in Japan?

Can The Phantom Pain surpass Ground Zeroes, which is now the second best selling PS4 title in Japan?

Famitsu (via Oscar Lemaire on Twitter) has recently reported that Kojima Productions’ Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is the second best selling video game in Japan, second only to Knack (which is only so high up because it was bundled in with the PlayStation 4 at launch).

Does this mean that  Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain will follow in the footsteps of Ground Zeroes and catapult to the top of the charts when it eventually release? With the game being developed by everybody’s favourite lunatic, Hideo Kojima, we are already assured of a high quality end product and everything we’ve seen thus far points towards the game being nothing short of stellar.

And evidently, I’m not the only person that thinks this. The internet is positively ravenous for anything Metal Gear Solid related and this excitement was amplified when the series was announced to start coming to other platforms like the PC.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will release in 2015 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4. Are you looking forward to it? Let us know in the comments.
