@jesus kung fu magic

I agree. The game sold more than 4 million and we all know that but so what if VGC don't have it right. A lot of games on this site is undertracked and overtracked. It's not like you are getting any of the money that is made from the sales so stop complaining.

Since when do the sales matter for any game? If you like the game then why give a flying crap about the sales.

If vgc justified why the sales are the way they are then leave it at that.

Its sad really.....

I'll admit that VGChartz is within +/-10% of real life (currently on the low side in this case), which has always been VGChartz goal. Statistically, VGChartz is right on the money, which is why the outcry's over under tracking are unfounded.

However, when the best we can estimate off of is 4.75m for the series, that does not justify changing what we currently have.

@ Νordlead
People who claim 4.75million sold have also no clue as to what it is going on (i am not sarcastic here).

I for one never claimed such numbers.It is perfectly understandable that a considerable amount of copies is fuelled into the market for future sales.

But the point was that up until now , nobody from Vgchartz admitted that there is a problem with tthe numbers of this title.I am glad that now you are admitting it.To be honest , i dont care if you correct the numbers or not.All i wanted is a simple "yeah we are kinda wrong with this one" , and now i am happy.

My guess (and its simply a guess) is that the game must have sold close to 4.2million or even a bit more since they recently sent in more shipments.

Even so , last time MGS "series" shipments was at 4.5 millon.So now they increased the shipments to 4.75 million.

Which means that at least some of these extra 250k copies , must be MGS4..........

So if they increased the shipments of MGS4 , well it means that this thing must be selling better than 10k a month...unless you want us to believe that konami is shipping 500k of MGS1,2,3 or MGS:PO copies.......

Seriously this is becoming extremely annoying...you keep defending your numbers , even though there is absolutely zero logic behind them at this point....

Considering the game is NOT EVEN 1 YEAR OLD, WENT PLATNINUM couple months ago and is highly regarded as the best game this gen, if not ever, when did shitty games such as HAZE start to outsell it for a few weeks?

@Valkyre

maybe VGChartz is wrong, as VGChartz has been with lots of games/hardware. VGChartz has never claimed to be perfect, and in fact has said otherwise many times. However, VGChartz isn't pulling numbers out of their ass like every single person on this wall who says it has sold more because they want to think so.

If you want to claim VGChartz is wrong and should correct their numbers try providing some proof rather than just pulling numbers out of your ass and razzing on the website.

All i see here , honestly , is stubborness... sorry but that is the most "elegant" way to put it.Sorry to the staff of vgchartz , but you guys are stubborn...

As i see , who gives a crap about the damn number.What i want from you , is to stop defending the fact that on this particular title , your calculations are wrong.

Its normal , dont take it so hard , people DO MAKE mistakes sometimes you know...and when you make a mistake you agknowledge it and learn from it.

Sorry , but i REFUSE , yeah thats right "refuse" , to believe that the best selling PS3 game , that went platinum , sold 30k copies in 3 months , and that Haze was actually selling better for a period of that time...

i mean ok you are damn wrong accept it for christs sake...

Konami keeps sending fresh shipments , and all you come up with is "they are reffering to the entire MGS franchise" ...

Oh really?

Well please care to tell me then , out of those 600k standing on shelves right now , how many you think are MGS4 copies?

Lets make a guess , shall we?Would you say , that out of those 600k at least half of them are MGs4 copies?Is that reasonable enough?Basically to me it sounds unreasonable that only 300k are mgs4's ,i mean what else is there from MGS franchise that needs so many new copies, but anyway , im trying to make a point here...

So 300k are on shelves, game goes platinum , sells like crap , and yet Konami sends in more shipments...

WOW , just WOW!

and they have the metal gear series at 4.5m through December 08.

I am yet to see any press release by Konami that says they have shipped 4.5m or more units of MGS4. However, remember that this is for the series, not just MGS4

To those claiming Konami's figures is same as sold to consumers. Publishers don't know how many copies are actually sold, all they know are shipped figures. For them shipped to retailer = sold. Publishers get their money from the game when they sell the game to retailers. Retailers don't report to publishers about sold copies to consumers and that information would not even be important to publisher.

There are multiple threads on this website that explain why the 4.5m number is misinterpreted. Also, there are various posts (by me and possibly others) already on this wall that clearly points out why the 4.5m number is misinterpreted.

Please, try reading the real press release before complaining about sales.

As for being "stuck" at 3.91 when a game only sells 3-4k/week it will take a few weeks before it moves.

Plus I have been told that there'll be some major surprises, and since my imagination is different from Kijoma's, I fear I might be disappointed by surprises that are different than I imagined.
Objectively, the save system is not the best, as checkpoints are far in between, and if you must quit before reaching the next one, the progress since the last one is lost.

@jmcraddock

vgchartz never tracked that game in the US or Europe and just put the totals in when an update was received. The same can be done again with the 7m information. You just need to funnel it to the right people.

There are a lot of games that are under tracked due to vgchartz not tracking them in one or more regions.

I already pointed out on this wall why the 4.5m number is misunderstood. Also, there are various threads in the forums on why the 4.5m number is misunderstood.

The heart of the problem is that they stated they shipped 4.5m copies of the metal gear solid series in 08. Series being the key word here, as they were shipping a collectors edition for the PS2 and probably other games (not sure what is still on shelves).

Anyways, we know that 4.5m was the upper limit at the end of 08, but you must subtract sales for all the other MGS games.

That maybe so but your missing the point. Out of the 4.5 Million MGS stuff shipped, it is pretty much guaranteed that MGS4 itself, shipped more than 4.2 Million itself, i mean MGS1 2 AND 3 don't even chart now.

Seeing as we are entering April, that should mean that at the very least, another 100k to 300k could have been shipped, making the total equal to or if not above 4.5 Million shipped just for MGS4.

Now these are not concrete numbers by any means, but the fact that MGS4 is doing like 5k every week and games like HAZE are selling more than it now per week, says something.

Not to mention MGS4 went platinum and weekly sales haven't increased, but instead decreased.

It all looks abit suspicious, thats all.

Ok, this is getting stupid. Konami announced in their press release that 4.5m units for the entire MGS series were shipped in 08. This includes more than MGS4. If someone posts saying that MGS4 shipped 4.5m and should be over 4m. I am banning them. This is your final warning.

If you can find solid proof from Konami that MGS4 should be over 4m, then that is acceptable, but it should be e-mailed/pm'd to brett, not posted on this wall.

Guys, the difference is only 4% (30/700). Media Create and Famitsu often have larger differences than that WEEKLY. Just look at their Wii numbers for this past week.

If it is undertracked (and from the looks of it, it probably isn't - at least not by much), they'll fix it eventually. It may not happen immediately, however, because (as Louie pointed out multiple times) Brett has pushed up the release of VGChartz 2.0 drastically. He even gave up is past job so that he could start running the site full time!

If it needs to get done, it'll get done. Don't worry about it.

Guys honestly you need to chill out. 30k is such a small amount of sales it doesn't really matter anyways.

And if I remember correclty the shipment number reffered to the whole Metal Gear Solid series, didn't it?

I personally think it must be insulting for Brett who puts so much effort into this site and these numbers when some rabbid fans claim it is "disgusting" or a "fail" when vgchartz uses its own sources.

Honestly, Brett has so much more information than you guys have. You only have shipment numbers for the series, that's all. Now maybe there are a lot of copies sitting on shelves, so what? They'll be sold anyway at some point and our numbers will show that.

Anybody up for Brett's job here? Do you even know how much work he has to put into this site? Maybe he just didn't find the time yet to update the sales of this damn game or has more information than you guys have? Ever thought about that?

Now why don't you just move on and play some Metal Gear Solid 4? If they need to those numbers will be adjusted. If not then for Snake's sake just give Brett the benefit of the doubt this time or go and ask Konami for their actual sell-through estimate. Brett does. You didn't, right?

This game was released a year ago, and no way it has 700k on the shelves.

It's already been confirmed by mediacreate to be undertracked by a LOT in Japan.

So i'm thinking it's undertracked in USA & EU aswel.

MetalGearSolid_4ever,

That's hardly fair. MGS4 is tracking well above MGS3 at the same time which was much before the release of Subsistence. If and when a Subsistence version in released, then we can compare those two titles. But you can't take 6 months of MGS4 sales compared to MGS3's lifetime, let alone MGS3's lifetime + subsistence.

@ Solid raiden

MGS3 Subsistence sales + MGS3 Snake Eater sale = approz 4.5 million.
MGS4 will have a tough time outselling both combined.Unless ofcourse they re release it as Subsisisisstence in 09 or something.
I hope both numbers will be added to this MGS4 gamepage to avoid confusion like in MGS3.

As someone who loves Gears 2 and MGS4, I can say without a doubt that MGS4 is a better looking gaming, with much better textures, and sound. Gears 2 looks awesome too, but they cover up tons of surfaces with low res textures by bump mapping everything. There's also a good bit of screen tearing in Gears 2, which is another strike against it.

There's something I don't understand...

I remember Konami reporting 3 million shipped to retail a few weeks after its release. Couple months later, 4 million and most recently 4.5.

So if retailers already had 400 thousand copies (even more than that, at the time) just sitting around in storage, why would they order another large shipment? :/

I'm really hoping for a sub- version of this game. I would love some extra material added to this already incrediblly epic title. Although with the availability of DC I don't know if it's necassary to re-release the title. I would love some extra gameplay added somewhere.

The Bundle sales aren't counted for the amount sold on VGchartz. The 3.2 million sold you're seeing is the game being sold by it's lonesome. if you included Bundle sales in the mix it would probably be the best selling PS3 game. Sony don't seem to be pulling a Nintendo here and counting Wii Sports bundle sales in the total software sales count. Which they should, because you can choose not to get the MGS4 bundle, but for the longest time you couldn't get a Wii without Wii sports.

I hope Kojima decides to make an integral, substance, subsistence version of MGS4-- I would buy that in a heart beat.

In response to challis's comment the game is definitely not over-hyped. I think if you actually give the game time you find out the game-play is actually not bad at all if your good enough to use it well. And Metal Gear Solid 4, without doubt had the best story to ever be created for a video game. Metal Gear Solid 4 is video game story-telling at it's very best. The game-play, admittedly, is an acquired taste. Even if you don't like the game-play nearly every gamer will find joy in it's wonderful storyline and awesome cut-scenes.

I find the game overhyped. The graphics are not substantially better than most next generation games. I find sneaking around avoiding the AI gets dull quickly. The tactics and strategy scenarios are too forced. The gunfights are poorly done because the controls and responses are clunky, the AI often stand still during gunfights yelling "the enemy", and Snake's movements are unrealistically restricted. I don't recommend this game to someone who doesn't know and really like the series.

The game deserves every sale it gets. It's going to be the best PS3 exclusive title by the end of the year once it passes Motorstorm.

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.
