Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has shipped 5 million units worldwide, Konami announced.

According to its latest financial report detailing the six-month period ending September 30, the publisher noted that this figure includes both digital copies, as well as those shipped to retailers. It also doesn't take into account the month of October, so shipment numbers may now be even higher.

Additionally, Konami revealed that its Digital Entertainment division (i.e. its video games business) was its most profitable segment, amassing 51.7bn yen in revenue.

Thanks to the incredible success of its smartphone title Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu, which has been downloaded a whopping 17 million times, Konami continues to thrive in the mobile market.

The release of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 this past month was mentioned as well, but no specific shipment figure was provided.
