He has also produced games like Zone of the Enders and Boktai. Considered as an author of videogames, he developed a strong passion for action-adventure and literature during his childhood and adolescence. In 1986, Konami hired him, for which he designed and wrote Metal Gear (1987) for the MSX2, a game that sat the bases of the Stealth Games and the Metal Gear series, the most well-known and appreciated works of him. The title that consecrated him as one of the most acclaimed videogame designers was Metal Gear Solid (1998) for PlayStation.

Death Stranding has just been published, but we already have some information about the sales results in terms of sales. The game comes from a famous game director such as Hideo Kojima, but also after some mixed reviews that could have hurt his sales.

So, how did he behave? Although we do not have a global vision at the moment, only three days having passed since the first day, sales in the UK are usually a good indicator of the current situation of video games.

As shared by Gamesindustry International, retail sales were strong enough for Death Stranding, which proved to be the second best launch of a new IP and PlayStation 4 exclusivity in 2019 for the United Kingdom alone. It was defeated only by previous days, which sold 33% additional copies at the launch.

Here is the Top Ten complete:

  1. Call of Duty: Modern war
  2. DEATH STRANDING
  3. FIFA 20
  4. Luigi s Mansion 3
  5. Speed: heat
  6. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe
  7. FORTNITE: DARKFIRE BUNDLE
  8. Mario & Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympics
  9. Minecraft
  10. PLENTS VS. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville

As you can see, DEATH STRANDING made its second rank starts, only a few days to appear in the ranking. Call of Duty: The modern war is the first for the third consecutive week, Ligi s Mansion 3 sees its position to decrease the second in the fourth.
