The Playstation 3 got a new model and a price drop last September in Japan. Not only did that combination resulted in increased hardware sales, it also caused a sales spike for one of the best exclusive games on the system: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

In an interview with Japanese gaming site Mainichi (via Andriasang), the president of Enterbrain, Hirokazu Hamamura, stated that Hideo Kojima has told him that the sales for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots have improved after Sony launched the cheaper Playstation 3 slim model in Japan last fall.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released worldwide on June 12, 2008.
