"over a million sold first week"

1. They shipped more than a million already

2. First week ended 19th this data ended 21st

3. Only 700k? Really so more than 300k (possibly 400k) in stores still? Almost the same as first week sales...

U must also remember this, most people buy the game RIGHT AWAY. So the sales are a few hundred thousand off, I doubt it would make much difference.

Also, there are only 2 million PS3s in Japan(around there) how much more can Japan offer for this game?

I doubt it is going to get to 2 million next week.

ioi confirmed 1st day sales were about 1.1 million (the article by louie overestimated Europe)

that means Friday + Saturday for all regions (+Sunday in Japan too) = about 310k

so it went from 1.1 million in 1 day to 300k in 2 days.

My bet would be around 400k for next week.

Wow, you guys forget so quickly, and believe that first week means everything. If we had went by first week, Devil May Cry 4 (PS3) would have sold the most in Japan, but it ended up selling the least there. It will have decent legs in Europe, perhaps America, and Japan unlikely since that seems to be the trend for PS3 titles.

To answer your question NoMoreHalo, when the userbase is devoted to a game, it can mean a lot more than even userbase. A lot of things can mean more than userbase. For example, we all know that Metal Gear Solid 3 is the lowest selling game in the main series, despite launching during the holiday season and getting great reviews.

A lot of this had to with the fact that it launched in 2004, when the hype for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Halo 2 was immense. These two large titles made MGS3 almost obscure to anyone but its fans, and its sales suffered.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a long anticipated game by fans of the PS3, even if not everyone is going to buy it. One example of this is that Super Smash Bros Melee sold better than the original on the Nintendo 64 despite the Gamecube having a lower userbase. The Gamecube had a high attach rate and Melee was hailed as one of the GC's top games, leading to its higher sales.

Despite the much lower userbase, Metal Gear Solid 4 still has a devoted fanbase and a lot of hype behind it. And a bundle too. It might not do as well as the first two, but it can still sell a good amount and pass 4 milion.

Sorry, that was a little long and winding. What can I say, it's my favorite Beatles song.

Anyone else got the feeling that the sales expectations for this game are a litte high?

I mean, fans who have been looking forward to this game are going to be looking at the reviews and they're great, but not exactly praising (It's hard to make a 9/10 not seem negative when there are a thousands complaints from the reviewer attempting to back it up). With the limited 5 million install base in the US, this killer app has a lot of weight on it (and I know several PS3 owners who flat out don't want the game).

As my favorite game series, I want MGS4 to preform well, but there is just not a big enough install base yet.

I think whoever put MGS4 in the game database wanted only the limited edition box art because that's what they'll have. It's only right to have the reg edition box art for MGS4 because that's how it always is on EVERY game added or have both with only one that has sales for it.

I definitely don't think it will get 1 mil 1st day. (as it doesn't have the Brawl, Mkwii, Gta4, Halo3 type popularity.)


However, it should get over 1 mil 1st week. (a nice 1.4 or 1.5 mil.)

Dark Odin, that's impossible, imo. (referring to your rediculously high numbers for its 1st weeks in each territory.) Getting over 1mil in Na sounds like a dream for the game, as Gta4 Ps3 barely got over that. I think in Europe it will launch in the 400k range not that high like you put it. In Japan, I can't say. The Ps3's userbase is so tiny and the sales are so pitiful weekly, but the Mgs series has been rising in popularity every release there. In America it will launch around Galaxy numbers for the 1st week. (650k)


Expect good things though.

All user review scores on this site seem lower then the "metacritic" averages for games no matter the platform.

Which is strange.

Usually user reviews are always higher. I'd guess it has something to do with user reviews being so eaisly accessable from the front page.

The game doesn't even have a boxart yet, someone was just creative and put this up for show.

Anyways, the bad ratings are already starting.

This is one of the BEST games ever made!
I'm happy it'll be (probably by the end of this year) the best selling game in the Metal Gear series.
