Thanks to a strong software lineup led by Metal Gear Solid 4, Tokyo-based Konami has posted strong sales and profit figures for the first quarter ended June 30.

MGS4, released on June 12, drove quarterly revenues of 70.8 billion yen ($654.3 million), up 16.7 percent from Q1 2007's 60.7 billion yen, the company said Tuesday.
Operating income was 11.6 billion yen for the quarter, up 65.6 percent.

The PlayStation 3-exclusive MGS4 had a worldwide simultaneous release during the quarter, shipping over 3 million units day one.
Konami called sales of the game "sensational."

One of the best games ive ever played... and ive never played a single MGS game either, nor am I fan of some of the same games in its genre (Splinter Cell)

So kudos to them, I hope this title goes down in history as oen of the best games
