GfK Chart-Track, a market research company based in the UK, has announced that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has had the third-best first-week sales of a game in 2015, falling behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight.

Moreover, the game is selling leaps and bounds better on PS4 than on Xbox One.

“PS4 takes a commanding 72% share over Xbox One which has 22%, while PS3 edges to a 3% share over Xbox 360 with just 2%,” the company reported.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
