Photos from the MGS4 Osaka launch: no one turned up
These Kotaku pictures of empty shops full of Metal Gear Solid 4 boxes. Clearly, all the action was in America last night, as you can see here and here.

That was in Osaka, to be fair. They cancelled the Akihabara event, innit, so the whole thing was probably muted thanks to those killings last week.

Tokyo looked pretty busy. Should be interesting to see what sort of a hardware bump there is for the week.

I reckon about 65k PS3s sold

My order is actually still sat there. They haven’t had the decency to take it off the system.
