Death Stranding got off to a better start in Japan than other Sony titles on PS4, but it's far from MGS's record

Famitsu Magazine published a report on sales of games in Japan from November 4 to November 10. The first result with a record performance for Sony was demonstrated by Death Stranding from Kojima Productions.

Death Stranding sold 185 retail copies in its first three days of sales, the best for a Sony game in the region in a current generation of consoles. The previous record holder was Bloodborne (152 thousand copies).

Tailored to the interests of the Western audience, PlayStation exclusives are traditionally not very popular in Japan: God of War и Detroit: Become Human, for example, less than 60 thousand people bought at the start.

At the same time, comparisons with Metal Gear Solid to the debut project of the revived Kojima Productions clearly do not go in favor: retail versions The Phantom Pain for PS3 and PS4 in the first week in total attracted more than 411 thousand buyers.

Another rookie of the week in the face of Need for Speed ​​Heat started a little worse than its predecessor: 16 copies sold versus 306 copies for Need for Speed ​​Payback in 2017 year.

The top 10 on the Japanese retail chart for the period November 4-10 is as follows (in parentheses are the total sales in the region):

1. Death Stranding (PS4) - 185 (new)
2. Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch) - 54 (680)
