Think people think, it shipped 7 million. This is at 5.6 million, MGS Substance on heres at 0.8 million. So 6.4 million total.

Yeah, this game without a doubt topped 7 million. I read numerous articles stating that fact. I think it's the best-selling MGS game because of that awesome demo that came out back in the day. Too bad many gamers ended up becoming disappointed because this game is incredible.

I heard this shipped 7m copies.

It should be at like 6.98m sold here or something. Those 7m copies were shipped ages ago.

Fantastic game, really improved over the first (which was already amazing) and an excellent story. 9.5/10

I think the game is a bit boring in comparison to the first one. I don´t know why, but I didn´t get this epic feeling I got with MGS.

meatl gear solid was very good. Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to be one of the best games of 2008. I'm hoping it brings in huge sales.

The story line was...well...weird. It's a game you need to play, if you are into the MGS story line, but the game play its self isn't as good as some of the previous one; this isn't to say that it's "un-playable" or even bad.. it's just not quiet as good as I had expected it to be. I'll probably play the next one immediately before the next one comes out. :P

Possibility 1: "Every other article" are quoting the same, incorrect source.
Possibility 2: Those figures include sales of the remake.
Possibility 3: This site has a minor mistake. Please tell ioi if you have a good source, and I'm sure he'll fix it.

"this game has sold at least 7 million according to every other article"

I was about to say the same thing. This game was actually more successful than the first, which sold 6.6 million copies world wide. And that's according to more established sites like GameSpot and the like.

I'm wondering if the owner of this site just makes the numbers up when he feels like it.

No wonder no one trusts the numbers in this place.

I own this game but I'm not going to put it on my profile because I haven't been able to find it for 2 years now.

Hope I can find it, I'm currently in the middle of my 3rd run through of the game.

10/10 AWESOME GAME!!!

WARNING!!**this game ACTUALLY requires BRAIN POWER to comprehend the complexity of the storyline and requires knowledge of the first MGS to understand the abstract/complex nature of this masterpiece

**THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE EVERYDAY SHOOTER**

This is my favorite game of all time and not the best (as in I wouldn't recommend it to everyone), even with the poorly told story and all its flaws, for the ending speech impacted my real life. Not directly though, only through means of discovering its themes in other works of not so niche'd media. I hope that made sense.
