Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance E3 2012 Trailer (HD)

Remember Metal Gear Rising? That hack n' slash game with that awkward word (revengeance) at the end of its title? Yeah, that one. Thankfully...

During an interview with the Financial Times, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, Kaz Hirai, has stated that he has set a sales target of 150 million units sold over the lifetime of the PlayStation 3. Recently, he had indicated that he predicts the platform's operations will become profitable by the end of Sony's next financial year, in March of 2009. Hirai also noted that the original PlayStation has sold 102 million units worldwide since its launch, and the PlayStation 2 remains the most successful video game console ever, with 140 million units sold after nine years on the market. And for the record, even the almighty Nintendo Entertainment System had reached but 61.9 million units sold as of March 2006. Still, 150 million is a bold number, and Sony sits at 15 million units sold presently, after 20 months on sale. 12.85 million were sold over the previous financial year, with 10 million expected for the current year. "It's not fun for me replicating the PS2 numbers. I've seen that movie already," Hirai stated. "I want to try to see if we can exceed the PS2 numbers after nine years, otherwise why are we in this business?" Wedbush Morgan Analyst Michael Pachter stated within the same piece that "It's highly likely that when the PS3 gets below $200, it will sell as well as the PS2."
