 | Jac0b (on 20 May 2012) This could reach 7m if they ever released some kind of Definitive Ps3 collection, but like only the very best exclusive games, UC2, LBP, GT5 A trophy patch would of been nice as well. |
 | shanbcn (on 17 May 2012) Will pass 6m so pretty good for a exclusive MGS. |
 | krafty89 (on 11 May 2012) Game could have had much better legs if it had a trophy patch, which should have come out just after MGS HD collection was announced. Or if they had a bundle with the multiplayer or if they actually used PSN for the maps packs and didn't have the idiotic Konami code to register. This could have sold 1 million more and made a ton more money from multiplayer DLC. |
 | Heavenly_King (on 09 May 2012) If Konami releases a trophy patch, this game would sell 8M. But considering all the time that has passed it wont happen. Me sad :( |
 | pezus (on 13 April 2012) @thewastedyouth: ignorant comment. Maybe your name is appropriate? |
 | ishiki (on 09 April 2012) @Thewasted youth. The only PS3 games to outsell this in Japan is FFXIII, and Resident evil 5. PS3 games just don't sell that well in japan. |
 | thewastedyouth (on 01 April 2012) I would have thought the Japanese would have bought more but since they are into anime girls and tentacle rape I guess there is no appeal |
 | Kyuu (on 27 March 2012) My favorite game this generation deserves double those numbers :P |
 | VGKing (on 10 March 2012) 6mil by the end of 2013. |
| Mertle (on 06 March 2012) Don't whine the sales for both are good. |
 | Metroid33slayer (on 04 March 2012) The worst mgs doesn't deserve these sales. If mgs4 can shift 5.5m then in a fair world mgs3 snakeater would sell at least double at 11 m because it is a masterpiece and so much better than this. |
| Heavenly_King (on 21 January 2012) GO SNAKE!!! |
| Sparking (on 21 January 2012) 5,546,761 |
| alonzodono (on 12 January 2012) 5,540,998 |
| Ham_Burgular (on 09 January 2012) 5,541,287 |
| Ham_Burgular (on 31 December 2011) 5,526,380 |
| Ham_Burgular (on 31 December 2011) This is still undertracked and it wont outsell MGS2 when it has the Substance sales aswell. |
 | -Sixx- (on 31 December 2011) Well, MGS2 still is and will be the bestselling MGS game with more than 7 mil. MGS1 sold past 6 million. Maybe one day MGS4 will reach MGS1 but not MGS2. |
 | Mr Puggsly (on 31 December 2011) @ Colocho - You're a moron. This isn't a fanboy discussion. |
 | CGI-Quality (on 30 December 2011) Looks like this will be the best selling Metal Gear Solid game in just a few weeks! And to think, I remember the days when the claims were that the PS3 couldn't sell PS2 franchises! Lol, looks like this, God of War III, & GT5 will continue to break down that theory. |
 | Colocho (on 28 December 2011) @ Mr Puggsly - And you know what's sad? This is a much better game then most of the games the X360 has to offer (IMO) |
| Mr Puggsly (on 27 December 2011) @ AnarchyWest - Actually I was hoping to say this was an awesome game. But it wasn't much of a game. I woudln't recommend this game to anyone unless they're big fans of the previous games and followed the story. |
| Colocho (on 23 December 2011) Uncharted 2 is on the heals of Metal Gear!! The race for the second best selling PS3 xclusive is on!! |
| Colocho (on 23 December 2011) Uncharted 2 is on the of Metal Gear!!.. The race for the Second best selling PS3 xclusive is on!!! |
| Heavenly_King (on 23 December 2011) GO SNAKE!!!! I think this game will end up being the best selling MGS game :D |
| Ham_Burgular (on 23 December 2011) Just ignore him. |
 | AnarchyWest (on 20 December 2011) @Mr Puggsly I bet you couldn't wait to say that |
| Mr Puggsly (on 19 December 2011) Finally played and beat it. As a game it was lame, but a pretty decent movie. |
 | sabby_e17 (on 17 December 2011) 6.5 million LT, I called it long ago. Hell, it may even do more than that. |
 | The_Joker_Product (on 16 December 2011) Nice 5.5 million. @Cirio dont forget Substance sales it sold 0.6 mil on Xbox and another few hundred thousand on PS2. |
 | Cirio (on 16 December 2011) @CGI- Isn't MGS2 over 7 million now? VGC has it way undertracked. |
 | enrageorange (on 15 December 2011) Gran Turismo's America/Europe sales have flip flopped between games. Its certainly possible for the same thing to happen with metal gear solid. |
| The_Joker_Product (on 11 December 2011) Source no, its just that it doesnt make sense that the game sold so much better in Americas than EMEAA, when every other game in the series except the first sold best in EMEAA. |
| osamanobama (on 09 December 2011) for the people claiming this is undertracked. do you guys have any sources? |
| CGI-Quality (on 09 December 2011) Will soon be the best selling Metal Gear Solid title ever! And people said the PS3 couldn't do it, eat that! :D |
 | Mordred11 (on 09 December 2011) UC2 will soon beat this!! |
| Heavenly_King (on 03 December 2011) Cant wait for MGS5 (and also for MGS Rising....if it is good lol) |
 | Solid-Stark (on 01 December 2011) Come on 6m by the end of 2012! |
| The_Joker_Product (on 19 November 2011) It wouldnt surprise me if this was undertracked by a million. |
| postofficebuddy (on 17 November 2011) Ignoring the rather unusual EMEAA slowdown, we know for a fact that this is undertracked in Japan by about 100k. Could it crawl to 1 million? |
 | colafitte (on 05 November 2011) It's hard to believe that this game has sold around 600k in EMEAA since week 10... |
| sabby_e17 (on 29 October 2011) This game WILL reach 6 million. |
| Vekta (on 28 October 2011) Uncharted 2 will surpass this, Uncharted 3 will surpass uncharted 2. Doesnt mean mgs4 isnt selling well, these are good sales |
| The_Joker_Product (on 23 October 2011) It probably is over 6 million already, no way are the EMEAA sales under Americas. |
 | TT Makaveli (on 22 October 2011) ahh and yeah by the way adjustments would be really sweet...wanna see if this masterpiece can crawl to 6 million.. |
| TT Makaveli (on 22 October 2011) @ MrMofongo624: thats what like every guy who played MGS4 said ^^ |
| MrMofongo624 (on 14 October 2011) thats what i tell everyone heavenly_king! |
| Heavenly_King (on 13 October 2011) I WANT A DIRECTORS CUT VERSION WITH TROPHIES!!!! :( |
| BoosterGold (on 13 October 2011) Im supposed to believe this game sold 130,000 copies in the past 100 weeks in Europe? thats the same as Japan. All MGS games sell more in Europe than US this games probably undertracked by 1 million. |
| gipsy_jack (on 13 October 2011) I agree EMEAA just sold only 10k in 35 weeks!!!! I can't believe this |
| Fanta (on 11 October 2011) Whens the EMEAA figure gonna be adjusted up? |
 | Iveyboi (on 10 October 2011) I forgot how big the opening week was. Sweet |
| Mordred11 (on 03 September 2011) awesome sales!will pass 5.5M |
| bleach2091 (on 18 August 2011) http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePietro1010?feature=mhee |
| bullza90 (on 16 August 2011) This game is badly undertracked in EMEAA. in the past 100 weeks its only sold 120k??? heck its sold over 130k in Japan in the last 100 weeks. Needs adjusting. |
 | Dgc1808 (on 14 August 2011) Legs of Steel! |
| Heavenly_King (on 31 July 2011) Indeed, Kratos is pure "machismo" lol :D. @haxxiy: You should play all GOW games in order to really understand Kratos. His life is a pure tragedy D:( |
| JustThatGamer (on 31 July 2011) haxxiy, that's total bullshit. Kratos is a very deep and tragic character; if all you can describe him as is a "violent emo" then you're a shallow minded simpleton. Also, by definition Kratos is as badass as creatively possible. |
| areskm90 (on 29 July 2011) I think this game will get a boost when MGS Rising is released |
 | haxxiy (on 25 July 2011) Kratos isn't badass, he's a violent emo with no depth at all. Sorry man. |
| Heavenly_King (on 22 July 2011) GO SNAKE 6M !!!! |
| Heavenly_King (on 22 July 2011) Drake is a fun guy, but not badass as Kratos or Snake. That is why for me MGS4 and GOW3 are better than uncharted. |
| JustThatGamer (on 21 July 2011) LOL no, GOW3 is a fantastic game. MGS4 and Uncharted 2 are not close to that level... See what I did there? I hate it when simpletons confuse having an opinion with being ignorant, it's a sign of a weak mind. Anyway IMO GOW3>>UC2>>>MGS4. |
| scabab07 (on 21 July 2011) LOL no, MGS4 and uncharted 2 are fantastic games. GOW3 is not close to that level, its not as good as GOW2. |
| Heavenly_King (on 16 July 2011) MGS4 = GOW 3 > Uncharted 2 |
| MrMofongo624 (on 15 July 2011) im a huge uncharted fan but single player wise nothing in this gen comes close to metal gear. and storywise mgs4 shits on uncharted 2. they are in 2 completly different levels. |
 | elmerFudd5 (on 10 July 2011) this game has a good single player like you said but it is NOT as good one as uncharted 2 or god of war 3 |
 | VXIII (on 10 July 2011) @mysticwolf.. despite of some minutes of complete non-understanding you're gonna be fine,you can still understand what MGS is all about |
 | fauzman (on 10 July 2011) I havent played this yet but will be picking it up sometime. As a trophy whore, im kinda disappointed there are no trophies for this. |
 | ThePS3News (on 08 July 2011) The 2nd best PS3 exclusive out right now. |
 | mysticwolf (on 07 July 2011) would this game still be good even if I have not played any other Metal Gear games before? |
 | withdreday (on 05 July 2011) @slipknotfan It has the best Single Player Experience so far this gen next to GTA4. Too bad you won't experience it due to fanboyism. |
 | Marco (on 02 July 2011) the best game on this generation. |
 | darthdevidem01 (on 27 June 2011) @slipknot........good thing this had the most fun gameplay of any MGS game then. |
| VXIII (on 26 June 2011) *Sigh* |
 | slipknotfan (on 26 June 2011) I like to play games, not watch cut scenes all day!!! |
| Heavenly_King (on 25 June 2011) @turkish: Considering that the new engine (fox engine = MGS engine lol) kojima´s team developed is multiplatform, then most likely MGS5 will be be multiplat sadly. |
 | Rockyb (on 23 June 2011) 0.35 more and could be the best selling metal gear |
 | Turkish (on 19 June 2011) @Heavenly king: no MGS4 is almost a 50GB game, Kojima won't release it on 6 discs for the 360. Also MGS5 will stay exclusive, possibly coming out on PS4. |
 | dsage01 (on 18 June 2011) the pic got hacked |
| Heavenly_King (on 13 June 2011) If konami is releasing the HD versions for the PS3 and 360 then it looks like MGS5 will be multiplat. An even maybe Konami is going to release MGS4 for the 360. If thesecond thing happens I hope that at least they re-release it in the PS3 with trophies. |
| Heavenly_King (on 09 June 2011) WTF!! happened to the picture??? Snake now has beard?? lo XD |
 | Reebokanonymous (on 23 May 2011) I want to play this game so badly, but I'm just going to wait until I (probably) buy a PS4. Hope it's backwards compatible. I doubt anything will replace Blu Ray for a while, though. |
| sbvgc2049 (on 13 May 2011) Are those hackers working alone or with some company?Can FBI get these hackers? |
| Solid-Stark (on 10 May 2011) Heres hope a rerelease soon. Maybe with MGS 2 & 3 HD |
 | Dahum (on 09 May 2011) there is a great chance this game will cross 6 million mark eventually |
| Dahum (on 09 May 2011) its amazing how this game is still giving healthy sales even tho it was released b4 3 years ago!! |
 | snakefisher (on 26 April 2011) whats poor quality sbvg cause its certainly not the xbox or its library of games |
| Biddles (on 16 April 2011) It got adjusted up 50k in Americas i know that much. |
 | chris212223 (on 16 April 2011) I think this got adjusted up =D |
| sbvgc2049 (on 05 April 2011) Buying poor quality products isn't patriotic,360 fanboys should ask MS one question:Is it patriotic to produce poor quality product? |
 | A203D (on 31 March 2011) MGS2 did actully sell 7 mil, if we combine the numbers from the original Xbox version. but imo this site is far more accurate than wikipedia. wikipedias numbers look like guesstimates, at least vgc looks like informed numbers from NPD, and media create, etc. |
 | Gearbox (on 24 March 2011) @biddles - any1 who has a wikipedia account can write what ever they want... i could write on it dont use wikipedia its dumb and it will take them almost 1 month to fix that. my professor proved it to me |
| Biddles (on 24 March 2011) @A203D This site isnt close to being as reliable as Wikipedia. On there for game sales it even says dont use VGcharts numbers when editing because the sites unreliable. |
 | Chroniczaaa (on 22 March 2011) whooopsy that this was a search bar |
| Chroniczaaa (on 22 March 2011) god of war 3 |
 | gustave154 (on 20 March 2011) it will take 96 weeks to reach 6 million. its possible |
| A203D (on 18 March 2011) @Sixx, according to vgc, neither MGS1 or 2 did 6mil, even with Subsistance, so i'm not sure where your numbers come from. but if its from wikipedia, i doubt it can be trusted; i know vgc inst perfect, but i think its more reliable than wikipedia. and jester2358, yes its a possibility, i think a trophy update/subsistance version and Rising could boost it into 6mil! |
| -Sixx- (on 17 March 2011) @A203D MGS2 did 7m, MGS1 did 6m |
 | jester2358 (on 16 March 2011) @A203D its done 600k a year for the past 2 years, I can see it passing 6 million with risings release and an updated version |
| A203D (on 14 March 2011) maybe in 2 years or with an updated version when MGS Rising comes out, maybe both together it could do 6 mil. but no MGS game has ever done 6 mil so it seems unlikely that this point imho. however PS3 is going to be around for another 5 years at least - so it could probabily do it! |
 | jugon21 (on 12 March 2011) LOL |
| jugon21 (on 12 March 2011) 6M it's possible |
| jugon21 (on 12 March 2011) 6M it's possible |
| jugon21 (on 12 March 2011) 6M it's possible |
| Iveyboi (on 25 February 2011) Still trucking along...so sweet. NOW ADD TROPHIES! |
 | The_God_of_War (on 25 February 2011) This goes up .01m literally every time I look at it. Good stuff |
 | pitzy272 (on 18 February 2011) I don't buy the numbers this week. This game was between 50-70 top sold video game items on Amazon.com like the past entire week. Which is incredible for a game that released in 2008. No way the game sold less than 10,000 copies, I don't believe it! |
 | snyperdud (on 16 February 2011) Jesus, where will this game stop? 6 million? 7? |
| MrMofongo624 (on 12 February 2011) i agree with u jester. if they make a version like mgs substance for mgs4 i will but that shit. they should take out all the crappy videos, and they should add extra cutscenes,and add trophies, and add extra scene or event. it would sell 1.5 million more than this game would. and in lifetime this game could be near 7 million! |
| jester2358 (on 12 February 2011) they need a re-release(did wonders for RE5) add trophies and some making of videos, mgo dlc, give it a cool name bam instant 350k more in japan |
 | NSS7 (on 10 February 2011) In 2008 I thought this game only sell for first few weeks before drop sharply but looks like i'm wrong. It already become PS3 flagship title. |
 | Yakuzaice (on 10 February 2011) The Famitsu 2010 top 100 had the budget release at 125k for the year, and about 900k lifetime combined with the original. |
| osamanobama (on 08 February 2011) why do you guys think/know its undertracked |
| postofficebuddy (on 05 February 2011) If the rumored MGS HD collection is real than this will probably get a boost once it comes out, so 6 million this year isn't entirely out of the question especially if we get adjustments for Japan sales. |
| Biddles (on 04 February 2011) This game should be at least 5.19 million. Why dont they adjust the Jap sales. |
 | palitococo (on 03 February 2011) @ulysses Long live to the mofongo then!! |
 | italo244 (on 31 January 2011) Hope this will hit 6 mil this years end! |
| dsage01 (on 30 January 2011) wow 6 million lifetime and under tracked! |
| sabby_e17 (on 29 January 2011) 6 million here we come. Konami must be very pleased. |
| MrMofongo624 (on 27 January 2011) im impressed it still sells 20k every week |
| don_poop (on 24 January 2011) AMAZINNNNNNNNNNG GAME |
 | Ulysses (on 24 January 2011) Still the Greatest PS3 game to date. Also, A mi tambien me encanta mofongo! |
| shanbcn (on 22 January 2011) Its close to 900k in Japan according to Famitsu. |
| MrMofongo624 (on 21 January 2011) @palitococo i love mofongo |
| palitococo (on 21 January 2011) Mrmofongo, u like the mofongo? |
| Yakuzaice (on 19 January 2011) Actually scratch that. With the new Famitsu 2010 top 100, they have MGS4 at 125,259. That would be 79% more than it sold in EMEAA. |
| MrMofongo624 (on 16 January 2011) does this game sells 100k each week? if it does, thats great! |
| Yakuzaice (on 15 January 2011) It seems like the release of the Greatest Hits version is where they seperated. However European sales do seem abnormaly low. It sold almost 40% more in Japan in 2010 than it did in the entire EMEAA region. |
 | --OkeyDokey-- (on 09 January 2011) American and EMEAA sales were close at the 10 week mark but LTD America has a lead of 600k? Methinks Europe is a little undertracked. |
| NSS7 (on 09 January 2011) @geddesmond2 I agree. Games like Bayonetta, Vanquish, SFIV, Demons Soul. Valkyria Chronicle are among best game this gen. I think what they lack is marketing especially new IP. Those game deserve more sales |
 | geddesmond2 (on 08 January 2011) People say japanese gaming is dead yet the highest selling Exclusives on the PS3 are Japanese made. So is Japanese development dying?? |
| Colocho (on 07 January 2011) Next week MGS will lose it's title of best selling PS3 exclusive to none other then GT5. |
| Biddles (on 06 January 2011) And it did, it sold 612,000 copies in 2010 and 609,000 copies in 2009. |
| Biddles (on 24 December 2010) In 2009 MGS4 sold 0.61 million copies. MGS4 has sold 0.58 million copies in 2010 with 2 weeks to go, so it could sell more copies this year than last year. |
| postofficebuddy (on 17 December 2010) @Vitox Yeah, 6 million is probably going to happen eventually but it's not going to be any time soon unless Sony brings that MGS4/Castlevania bundle outside of Japan. |
| Biddles (on 16 December 2010) I suppose its next goal is to get to 5.6 so to surpass MGS1 & MGS2. |
| Iveyboi (on 14 December 2010) If they need a sales boost, release triphies. Sadly people may not pick it up for that reason. On another note, Great sales and GJ 5 million! |
 | vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 13 December 2010) it most likely will but it will be 2-3 years to get there. |
| -Sixx- (on 13 December 2010) Doubt it gets to 6 mill |
| Heavenly_King (on 08 December 2010) next checkpoint...6M!!! GO SNAKE! |
| chriscolombian44 (on 06 December 2010) one of the best games ever made |
 | drakesfortune (on 05 December 2010) 5 mil! Well deserved! |
 | davidatwar (on 03 December 2010) 5.1 million but we all know it's really around 5.75-6million |
 | whatz3rname (on 02 December 2010) Congrats! |
| Heavenly_King (on 27 November 2010) AWESOME!!! |
| postofficebuddy (on 26 November 2010) 5 million officially now. Should get a nice boost next week with BF deals and then the bundle in Japan in a few weeks. 6 million possible? |
 | kratos17 (on 26 November 2010) @cityhunter actually the first ps3 exclusive to sell 5mill was GT5P but vgchartz dont track downloadable sales |
| Iveyboi (on 26 November 2010) 5million!!! |
| jugon21 (on 26 November 2010) The best game of this generation |
 | markimsoad (on 26 November 2010) altair from assassins creed was a character... great game!!! :) |
 | cityhunter (on 25 November 2010) Wow 4 270 left and it's the first PS3 exclusive to reach 5M!!! |
| pitzy272 (on 20 November 2010) Truly deserves it. Actually deserves triple these sales. My favorite game of all time (second is Uncharted 2) |
 | Carl2291 (on 19 November 2010) So getting ready to celebrate like crazy!!! |
| Ginyu (on 18 November 2010) 7,400 copies to go so its gonna be at 5 million next week for sure. |
| chris212223 (on 17 November 2010) Heard from konami it sold 5 mil like a year ago. maybe that was shipped who knows? Or maybe its undertracked on VGC? =D |
| Carl2291 (on 14 November 2010) 4.98 Million... It's close!! |
 | Thechalkblock (on 08 November 2010) Wow, five million. It's been a long and winding road, but the time is finally coming. |
| Heavenly_King (on 05 November 2010) @Bantiger: 5M by..... NEXT WEEK lol XD |
| Frieza (on 04 November 2010) Its already sold over 5 million copies, dont take this sites word for anything its popular here but on every other game site vgchartz is considered a joke. |
 | BanTiger (on 02 November 2010) 5 million by Dec 31, 2010 |
 | pablogers (on 01 November 2010) 5 million in a par of weeks .. yeahh |
| invetedlotus123 (on 31 October 2010) final fantasy xiii |
| yahoocom1984 (on 29 October 2010) 5 million is official shipment data |
| SchumiF1 (on 29 October 2010) Actually, VG Chartz still hasn't added the original bundle sales, which is really unfair. |
| ishiki (on 29 October 2010) Great Game, not as great as darth says it is imo :P |
| haxxiy (on 25 October 2010) Kinda impressive this is still selling after two years and some. |
 | Gilgamesh (on 24 October 2010) Greatest game EVAAAAAARR want trophies! |
| postofficebuddy (on 23 October 2010) So close to 5 million I can taste it. Surprisingly decent legs in Japan. |
| Carl2291 (on 21 October 2010) :O Machina removed my post!!!!!!!!!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 21 October 2010) BOO you stole my birthright Machina!!!!! 5 MILLION SOOOOOOON!!!!! |
 | Machina (on 21 October 2010) I am the 1st post since May! |
 | Cross-X (on 31 May 2010) Legendary Masterpiece MGS4. Best Game I've ever played. |
 | the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 28 May 2010) Best game of the generation, in my top three all time no doubt, along with MGS and FF7. |
| Marco (on 28 May 2010) offical: over 5 million wordwilde. i think, it is the best game in this generation :) |
 | PeteyPeeps (on 23 May 2010) PAL has the best box art for sure ... the NTSC collectors edition is quite nice too |
| shanbcn (on 23 May 2010) Japan sales as of last week: 835k |
| drakesfortune (on 22 May 2010) I'm so bummed that this never got trophies. What a waste, and what a giant middle finger to the fans. |
| fvgc1 (on 15 May 2010) The Best Is Yet To Come---"SOUL" level song. |
 | NanakiXI (on 14 May 2010) This right here proves you don't need the highest userbase to outsell previous hits on a more successful console hardware. This is going to sell the rest of the PS3s lifetime for many years to come and outsell it's predecessors in due time. |
 | GodOfWar_3ever (on 13 May 2010) Still crawling to 5 million ! GO MGS4 GO ! |
 | nomorehalo (on 13 May 2010) True, but sneaking is still 10 times as hard. The objective is usually just to go from point A to B and in this case, choosing to run straight through the levels is all I've seen anybody but the most hardcore do. Unless you want to get some silly medal, why waste the time? Yeah, it's a matter of preference and I like being able to tackle things multiple ways. It just seems to me it came at the cost of balance that I loved in previous games in the series. |
 | kowhoho (on 05 May 2010) ! @nomorehalo If you really think it was "run-and-gun," you weren't going for the Big Boss medal. The great thing about this game is that it can be played however you want to, and it accommodates many skill levels. If you're a stealth master, the game will be awesome for you in the stealth department but you can play it as a straight-up action game too if you want. |
 | Hidalgo (on 02 May 2010) Look at those long and sexy legs =) |
| nomorehalo (on 02 May 2010) Am I the only one who found this game far too bloated and run-and-gun to be enjoyable? |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 27 April 2010) @Solid-Stark- I'm not sure if Kojima is going to re-release MGS4 and give it a sub-version |
| Solid-Stark (on 23 April 2010) Theres no denying this game will sell 6m. Konami will re-release this title just like past MGS games and it should give it a boost. MGS 1 and 2 shipped over 7m each on PS1 and PS2 respectively. MGS4 has shipped 5.1 on PS3, a huge success when you compare the install bases between PS3 to PS1 and PS2 |
| NanakiXI (on 23 April 2010) Is there interconnection between MGS PW and MGS IV? If so then it should boost sales up even more in Japan for both titles!!! Mark my words that MGS IV will reach 1 Mil sold before the end of this generation. |
| shanbcn (on 21 April 2010) Marco link? |
| Marco (on 21 April 2010) Konami: 5,1 million = sales :) |
 | leo-j (on 17 April 2010) it will reach 5 million by july/august.. |
| sbvgc20123 (on 17 April 2010) Heavensdivide from MGS:PW is so wonderful. Hope PW can sell as much as MGS4. |
| Carl2291 (on 16 April 2010) Still trucking along :-) |
 | DaBuddahN (on 15 April 2010) I'd say the game is around 4.7 - 4.73 mil sold. |
| Solid-Stark (on 12 April 2010) What vito said. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 10 April 2010) by the end of the year. |
 | Zedex (on 10 April 2010) will this game ever reach 5 million? yes or no? |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 10 April 2010) wow glad vgchartz did listen. |
| ElGranCabeza (on 09 April 2010) The JP numbers are undertracked unless ioi decided to count "The Best" version separately, it actually sold 705k + 84k "The Best" version |
| Frieza (on 09 April 2010) Adjusted down 70k. And now its the 3rd best selling PS3 game in Japan because RE5 surpassed it. |
 | Kinneas14 (on 09 April 2010) Adjusted down again! This game won't arrive to 5 million!:) |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 04 April 2010) @Scottsdone- Just beat the game on TBE myself. It challenges even the best MGS gamers. I had a somewhat tough time adjusting to the game as it was no longer about avoiding the guards' FOV |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 04 April 2010) WOW Marco! Your my hero buddy |
 | scottsdone (on 04 April 2010) I'm pretty sure they will add trophies. There was a poll on the PlayStation blog asking if they should, and most likely they will. It's guaranteed to secure even a small boost in sales for minimal work. Plus I really need to finish my BBE run, this would push me to get that finished. x_x |
| BanTiger (on 02 April 2010) this game needs trophy |
| Frieza (on 02 April 2010) God Marco your a repetitive bore huh. |
| Marco (on 31 March 2010) best game! i play it 355 hours (SinglePlayer) and MGO 51 hours - now. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 28 March 2010) Shut up, the numbers are fine. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 27 March 2010) sells 5 million look at link posetd by rossoner |
| Iveyboi (on 27 March 2010) This is just a massive success...Should get a slight boost when Peace Walker and Rising drops. The game that lead the way and set the bar for Uncharted 2 and GOW3 AND Killzone 2 |
| Marco (on 27 March 2010) best game ever, yes! |
| jester2358 (on 25 March 2010) 5 million sold to retailers = 400k on shelves ... seems about right |
| Gearbox (on 24 March 2010) @the_lonely_gamer_123 - sigh... its called shipped to retailers not sold to consumers.. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 23 March 2010) @headshot91- look at all the links posted by others saying that it has sold 5 million. Those links are more than enough evidence imo. |
| Gilgamesh (on 23 March 2010) Get the trophy patch so I can replay it! |
 | koyotecat (on 22 March 2010) Started replaying it again, in my top 3 games of all time for sure. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 22 March 2010) BEST GAME EVER! |
| sbvgc2012 (on 21 March 2010) @Streak Very true 4.62 million sales is definitely not the righteous sales for a great game like MGS 4,it should get 7 million sales at least.I think it will reach that number in the future,but now,there's just too many good games worth buying. MGS4 Uncharted Uncharted 2 Resistance 2 Infamous Modern Warfare 2 Heavenly Sword Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Assassin's Creed 2 Little Big Planet Demon's Souls Dragon Age Origins Final Fantasy XIII Tekken 6 Grand Theft Auto IV Soul Calibur 4 Bioshock 2 Fallout 3 Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Far Cry 2 Valkyria Chronicles Devil May Cry 4 White Knight Chronicles Bayonetta God of War Collection God of WarIII Heavy Rain ...... can't list them all. Need more time,need more money. My favorite PS3 games now Uncharted 2 MGS 4 God of War III Heavy Rain Dragon Age Origins Killzone 2 FF13 |
 | headshot91 (on 21 March 2010) @the_lonely_gamer_123 hmmmm "we all know".... as in yourself guessing? I think that vgchartz has got a liitttle bit more info on games sales than you... |
 | StreaK (on 20 March 2010) This is ridiculous!!! What are PS3 owners buying on the PS3, anyway??? MW2 I guess - what crap!!! I mean, you have a beautiful exclusive game like MGS4 and it sells only 5 million??? The world sucks when a game like this doesn't get close to 10 million copies. MGS2 sold 7 million so I hope it equals that or surpasses it, seriously. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 19 March 2010) We all know that MGS4 is over 5 million, excpet the good folks (no sarcasm intended) at vgchartz. Quite simply, every PS3 owner, casual or hardcore, should buy Metal Gear Solid 4 |
| rossoner (on 19 March 2010) for some of u,konami said that mgs4 sold over 5 mils. http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2010/02/07/mgs4-sells-5-million/ |
 | superbeast1370 (on 18 March 2010) come on Europeans!!! buy it. it should reach 2 million in others!!! |
 | Aldro (on 18 March 2010) MGS4 is seriously one of the biggest reasons to get a PS3. And with it you get GoW 3, KZ2, Uncharted 1+2 which are all jizz-able x10. |
 | pslee (on 13 March 2010) GOWIII is for America. Not going to be strong in EU or Japan. i dont think it will outsell MGS |
| Marco (on 13 March 2010) best exclusive game of all console's =) |
| jester2358 (on 12 March 2010) I think we all agree that god of war is unlikely to sell more than 4 million, my moneys on 3.5 million lifetime. this game however will reach 5 million maybe a tad more with a re-release |
| vashkey (on 11 March 2010) I doubt God of War III will do better. None of the God of War games have ever reach four million. |
| TT Makaveli (on 11 March 2010) yeah it dont got the Japanese support but maybe the big american support and this could be huge numbers... |
| scabob (on 10 March 2010) God of War 3 definitely wont outsell this, for one it hasnt got the Japanese support this has and 2 MGS is far more popular. |
| Heavenly_King (on 09 March 2010) I think GOW will manage to sell like this game :D GO KRATOS!!! GO SNAKE!!! |
| xxrkoxx (on 08 March 2010) I wonder if GOW will beat it. I think DOW is funner but man its still hard to say I cant wait :) |
| vv888 (on 02 March 2010) The numbers showed on this site isn't accurate anyway.(sometimes it may miss 0.5 million copies,just adjusting adjusting adjusting,they even don't know which number is accurate) |
 | RageBot (on 28 February 2010) Pepole should make the difference between shipped and sold -_- |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 28 February 2010) Another article proving yet again that VG Chartz need to update the sales figures. Great legs! 650k in 2009 is very impressive for a PS3 game. |
 | Snake612 (on 28 February 2010) they really need to adjust this game. This is getting ridculous. |
 | Ghazi4 (on 26 February 2010) http://scrawlfx.com/2010/02/metal-gear-solid-4-sells-five-million-becomes-highest-selling-ps3-exclusive hmm they say it sold 5 million! |
| Kinneas14 (on 21 February 2010) Konami said that this sold 5 million! |
| amsterdream1 (on 20 February 2010) 5 million copies now. Adjust it. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 19 February 2010) seeing god eater amazing sales, maybe peace walker can do it.. maybe. |
 | ivanisgreat459 (on 17 February 2010) an epic masterpiece |
| AnarchyWest (on 17 February 2010) I wonder why MGS games don't sell 1 million in Japan (maybe 2 did if VG updates the sales) I would have thought MGS4 sell a million in Japan |
| Snake612 (on 17 February 2010) Come on vgchartz! This game is already at 5 million copies |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 15 February 2010) well i said that bacuase you didnt argue the other posts but well ur right it involved spoilers, and lonely gamer how is mpo a failure? |
| AnarchyWest (on 14 February 2010) vito I can argue but I rather not argue here, spoilers will be involved and you saying "100% agree" of another persons post is no argument. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 14 February 2010) Peace Walker looks great, it will get me over the failure of PO |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 14 February 2010) thats why we are moving on pal =p |
 | el_rika (on 14 February 2010) c'mon guys, let's be friends here. There'll always be people that believe differently, with arguments on both sides. It's just the nature of things. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 13 February 2010) wow, what a way to ignore something when u cant argue with it, lol. but fine moving on. |
| AnarchyWest (on 12 February 2010) agree to disagree all that matters now is Peace Walker and Rising and MGS4 reaching 5M |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 10 February 2010) agree el_rika 100% agree |
| el_rika (on 09 February 2010) Actually, it could be 'you' that is not looking in depth beneath the surface of the story in order to trully grasp those characters and their motivations/development in conjunction to past and present events. But i guess to each his own. Regarding the RE4 view, whatever you wanna call it it is not in any way a 'westernizing' as it is created by 'japanese' devs. Maybe a more 'casual friendly' approach if you are keen on naming it. |
| AnarchyWest (on 08 February 2010) RE series also took a nose dive in popularity in Japan when the new over the shoulder control layout was introduced in RE4 |
| AnarchyWest (on 08 February 2010) MGS4 did not function as always over the shoulder...you could go into over the shoulder aiming but it wasn't always over the shoulder like RE4 and the fact you don't see anything wrong with some of the characters makes me doubt you look into the depth of the games rather than the play them |
| el_rika (on 08 February 2010) @ vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - completely agree. Also, i always found it funny how people call this third person mechanic "westernized" when it was Resident Evil 4 (a JAPANESE game) that actually made it what it is today ^_^ |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 07 February 2010) the controls were better, i dont see anything wrong with the multiple locations and i cant find any contracditions with those characters. but i agree the codec felt empty, but it wasnt a major problem to be honest. |
| AnarchyWest (on 07 February 2010) I said "westernized" not Americanized -the controls were changed to model western preference (Mass Effect was used as a model) -Much of the codec was removed -Chapters and multiple locations - more action oriented then stealth -Contradictions on Naomi and Vamp and a little of Raiden I think it was a good game still just my least favorite in the series |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 07 February 2010) @Cman107 That could include the sales from the essentials collection and po, nut with that being said, it should still be close to 5 million copies |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 07 February 2010) AnarchyWest How was it more Americanized than other Metal Gear Solid games? |
| AnarchyWest (on 07 February 2010) the_lonely_gamer_123 the accents being gone is the least of problems I had with MGS4, in fact I never really considered it a major problem at all |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 07 February 2010) @Anarchy West Ya Mei Ling's accent was gone in MGS4 as well as Naomi's accent. I didn't like that, but that is probably it along with the end of the boss fights. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 07 February 2010) @vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I really doubt they are 600 000+ copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 out there. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 06 February 2010) i tihnk they mean shipped cman107. |
 | Cman107 (on 04 February 2010) http://www.psu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233025 Its over 5 million. |
| el_rika (on 03 February 2010) Yeah, my money is on prequel as well. That would make the most "sense" (MGS4 allusion here ^_^). |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 02 February 2010) well we do have that raiden and crying wolf pic. so nim betting its a prequel. |
| AnarchyWest (on 02 February 2010) I think MGS 1&2 sold near 7 million VGchartz doesn't have all the data I think because I read over 7 million were shipped for MGS1 and 2 and I agree Vito I don't want Rising to be a sequel (which I think it is lol I remember hearing 2 years after MGS4) |
 | Solid_Snake4RD (on 02 February 2010) this is over 5m,inline with all other main mgs. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 02 February 2010) well the them was sense and the game did its job in ilustrade that. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 02 February 2010) well i dont hate raiden in either game and looking fordward to rising if its a prequel. if its a sequel then screw it. |
| AnarchyWest (on 01 February 2010) true most of them are MGS2 fanboys but its also true that MGS4 fanboys hate MGS2 (I don't know why playing as Raiden really killed the game for some people) I consider myself a hardcore MGS fan and I have to say I expected more from MGS4 (the theme wasn't as great as the previous installments) Peace Walker looks promising the presentation of the trailers says so Im iffy about Rising though...Raiden is one of the characters in 4 that had the worst development and contradicted MGS2 |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 01 February 2010) lol im not talking about the fourms, but people on the street or friends. an those are just mgs2 fanboys and haters too be honest. |
| AnarchyWest (on 31 January 2010) many people on this board praise the game...true, but if you go to boards dedicated to the "Metal Gear Saga" many (most) are critical of MGS4 stance in the series |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 31 January 2010) contradicted characters? please elaborate. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 31 January 2010) guess ur among that very selected few, because i hear too many praise for this game a LOT. and i dont blame them this is a 10 game. |
| AnarchyWest (on 31 January 2010) yes it was poorly written but still a decent game, I think Peace Walker will be more promising MGS4 contradicted some of the characters and themes from previous installments and it sold more than MGS3 only (I don't understand how MGS3 and MGS3:Sub only sold 4.5M total, should have sold 7M at least) IMO MGS4 divided the fanbase you have the people who just play the games (series) and enjoy it for what it is and then you have the people who look into the depth of the game (and the whole series) the latter felt 4 was a disappointment in many ways (and it mostly stems from the writing) |
| el_rika (on 31 January 2010) This is my favourite in the series as well. Easily the best cinematography and narrative. Sure, some of the more "quiet" scenes are very long and almost overwhelming, but the incredible imagery and profound, poetic writing make them very interesting and quite unique in the medium. The vision of a true artist coming full circle. Go for 5 mil ! |
 | divwilson50 (on 31 January 2010) play all MGS's, and this and mgs1 are probably the best. i think the whle idea of the amount of cut scenes, was to do with this supposedly being the last in the series. but obviously wasn't the case. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 31 January 2010) poorly written? wth? i agree some scenes should have been cut like the weeding one. also i dont find anything wrong with old snake. they still call him snake. also seems their "mistake" got them great sales. much higher than re4 |
| AnarchyWest (on 30 January 2010) this game was also westernized to much Capcom fell for the same mistake with RE4 and RE5 |
| AnarchyWest (on 30 January 2010) the storyline was poorly written in this one...a lot of unnecessary scenes too and a big "wtf" for changing Solid Snakes codename to "Old Snake" I still think 1 was best then closely followed by 3 then 2 and 4 then PO I can't wait for Peace Walker |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 29 January 2010) least favorite? wow...this his the best mgs game imo. |
| AnarchyWest (on 28 January 2010) my least favorite MGS but still a great game Long live Solid Snake |
| MarshmallowMan (on 28 January 2010) What I really enjoyed about this game is that you could easily choose to go with either stealth or aggression depending on the situation or your mood. |
| palitococo (on 28 January 2010) 5M here we go. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 28 January 2010) This is a stealth game (unless you are playing on liquid easy, which, by all means could be played as a shooter) |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 28 January 2010) @Gearbox- So by your account, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and Jak 2 and 3 are shooters. Give me a break. The goal in Metal Gear Solid 4 is to sneak past your enemy and avoid alert. A lot of MGS players beat the game with under 100 kills. |
| Gearbox (on 28 January 2010) @the_lonely_gamer_123 - uh did u just say a shooting game isnt a shooter because when u play on HARD mode.. its....HARD? lololol. its a shooter cause u use guns. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 25 January 2010) @Snake612-really? where is your proof I hope you are right |
| Snake612 (on 24 January 2010) Come on vgchartz. This game is already at 5 million copies. |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 23 January 2010) @Gearbox This game is most definitely not a shooter, if you play as a shooter this game on big boss hard you will die really quickly. |
 | aragod (on 22 January 2010) This is definately undertracked in Europe. |
 | leatherhat (on 21 January 2010) This game is not a shooter at all |
| Gearbox (on 21 January 2010) @--OkeyDokey-- - uh.. its a shooter, americans like shooters. thats like saying y is call of duty modernwarfare 2 on the ps3 selling better in america then others :P |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 21 January 2010) and japan....it sould be 770k. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 20 January 2010) The game is most definitely undertracked in Others. Or overtracked in America. With the PS3's higher userbase and software sales in Europe and MGS being more popular in Europe, it just doesn't make any sense. |
| superbeast1370 (on 20 January 2010) wow, 2 Million in America. what the hell are the Europeans doing? they should buy the damn game! |
| Cman107 (on 20 January 2010) 2 million in America! Totally deserves the sales! |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 19 January 2010) Best PS3 game ever. Uncharted 2 was good, but MGS4 is just amazing. Sony should still support their best game and Kojima Productions should make a sub-version/game of the year edition for it as well |
| el_rika (on 19 January 2010) @NSS7 - agreed |
 | ps3-sales! (on 16 January 2010) 2 million in america next week! |
 | irishLAD09 (on 16 January 2010) Just edges Uncharted 2 out as my favourite ever!! Played it through like 5 times! Brilliant!! |
| NSS7 (on 16 January 2010) Will reach 5 million before 2011. |
| ElGranCabeza (on 14 January 2010) http://www.geocities.jp/v7160c_l5/ps3.html Famitsu numbers has 706,461+64,714 = 771175 Don't know what Media Create and Degenki say though |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 12 January 2010) mgs4 mgs3 mg2 mgs1 mpo mgs2 mg |
| Marco (on 10 January 2010) best game of the generation (Ps3,360,Wii) |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 09 January 2010) MGS4>MGS1>MGS3>MGS2>MGS:POWHAT IS YOUR LIST? |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 06 January 2010) the only thing missing hes japan (.77) as far as i know the bundles are counted. still its at 4.50 right now. |
| Solid_Snake4RD (on 06 January 2010) c'mon VGC update the sales.This game has definitely crossed 5m. |
| SchumiF1 (on 06 January 2010) VG Chartz, update Japan numbers, too (0.78m), and Euro numbers. And lets not forget about 200k bundles are still not counted. What's the point of it all if you don't count sales properly. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 03 January 2010) 5 million in 2010. |
 | NeoMatrix (on 03 January 2010) With updated Japan numbers it`s 4.5 mln. LTD for the end of 2009. And game is still selling, MGS4 will definitely reach 5 mln. by the end of 2010. Impressive. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 01 January 2010) update vgc it should be .77 in japan |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 01 January 2010) vg can u update the lifetime sales please |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 31 December 2009) I dunno, it could be that the 4.4 million does not include all bundled copies with the 80gig ps3 and the 40 gig ps3 |
| the_lonely_gamer_123 (on 31 December 2009) ya vg has undertracked a lot of games, especially games that weren't released during the peak season (sept-dec) and i do believe that this game is slightly over 5 million. in others it and japan it still has legs |
| NeoMatrix (on 31 December 2009) http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1230928_1124.html Enterbrain/Famitsu 2008/12/29 ~ 2009/12/13 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Konami) --- 706,461 + 59,092 = 765,553 |
| Solid-Stark (on 30 December 2009) I can't believe MW2 outsold this easily...this should be the top selling PS3 game! Come on Snake! |
 | hunter_alien (on 29 December 2009) Im going with 4.7-4.8 million LT.. it would be nice if it could hit 5 tough :-) @-ku-: yes, bundles are included ;-) |
 | -ku- (on 29 December 2009) So do these include bundles sales |
| Gearbox (on 29 December 2009) wikipedia can be editied by any1, soe maybe some moron thought "5 million shipped" was 5 million sold. |
| Uruler (on 28 December 2009) This game is over 5mil according to wiki. Seriously vgchartz undertracks games Resistance sold 4mil and Killzone 2 sold 2.7mil Look at wiki(IGN for killzone 2) |
| Gearbox (on 27 December 2009) this game is going to reach 5 million because i think 2010 the ps3 will sell a lot faster then ikt did last year, and a lot of those people were people who wanted this game but held off for a slim. |
| shanbcn (on 27 December 2009) Undertracked in Japan by 60-70k. |
| el_rika (on 25 December 2009) The game was reportd by Famistu at over 700k in Japan since the begining of the year...strange. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 24 December 2009) why the hell did it got adjusted down in japan? its been at 700k since january damnit. |
 | Munkeh111 (on 22 December 2009) Still going at 20k per week... which is okay, it will certainly get to 4.5m soonish, and certainly has a chance of 5m |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 20 December 2009) It seems like the game has stopped selling in Others, but it's still doing well in America :/ |
| Heavenly_King (on 18 December 2009) GO SNAKE!!!! YOU CAN REACH 5M!!!! |
| MarshmallowMan (on 18 December 2009) My favorite game of all time. But why have we not received: 1. DLC, free or paid? 2. Trophies? Of all the games that deserves DLC and trophies!! |
| Marco (on 18 December 2009) BEST GAME ON THE GENERATION! |
| leo-j (on 17 December 2009) It is still the best game I have ever played EVER |
| el_rika (on 17 December 2009) Yeah, the last scene is very long (over 20 minutes), but i found it to be both incredibly thought provoking and emotional. Big Boss finally understanding the 'true' will of his mentor is one of the, if not "the" most profound and insipiring epiphany in any story i have ever seen or read. @ NeoMatrix - agreed, 5 mil is the next (and final) big stop. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 17 December 2009) The final battle with Liquid is so epic it makes me want to cry. And the final cutscene with Big Boss is so boring it makes me want to cry. The whole game just makes me want to cry ;_; |
| lebronjames (on 16 December 2009) MW2 dont have chacne in compare to MGO.MGO is best! |
 | ChrisIsNotSexy (on 13 December 2009) At least MW2 will never be able to outsell this in Japan |
| Gearbox (on 12 December 2009) @el_rika - u are mistaken. look at all the top wii games. BOOM |
| el_rika (on 09 December 2009) MW2 outsold many games. If i'm not mistaken it is the overall best selling game of this generation, or well on it's way to become. |
| NeoMatrix (on 08 December 2009) 5 mln. in 2010. |
 | zzamaro (on 08 December 2009) awesome game |
| seantheamazing (on 06 December 2009) it was ahead of CODMW2 on amazon |
| leatherhat (on 06 December 2009) It will break 2 million in America soon |
| MarshmallowMan (on 06 December 2009) AnarchyWest, I agree with you. Here's my personal opinion on the ranking: MGS4>MSG3>MGS>MGS:2. Haven't played MGS:PO yet. |
 | PlaystaionGamer (on 03 December 2009) i only ever got to Act 3 , need to do the final 2! |
| el_rika (on 02 December 2009) My favourite in the franchise :) |
| Ghazi4 (on 02 December 2009) i sold this game for 15 bucks when i was young cuz i didnt understand it lol now i want it back :O |
| Supanen (on 01 December 2009) Too many cutscenes.... |
| AnarchyWest (on 30 November 2009) MGS>MGS3>MGS2>MGS4>MGS:PO there was just a few things about MGS4 that irritated me...still MGS4 is great along with the rest...I can't wait for Peace Walker and info about Rising |
| sabby_e17 (on 29 November 2009) This will easily reach 5 million, and I'm confident that it will reach 6 million as well. |
| superbeast1370 (on 27 November 2009) @ dsage01: link please |
| dsage01 (on 27 November 2009) Hey, this sold 4.98ml life time not 4.3.4ml |
| dsage01 (on 27 November 2009) this was my first PS3 game which i got in September 2008 now i have 12 ps3 games and i still love it |
| haxxiy (on 27 November 2009) Waaay up for Black Friday in amazon. |
| Marco (on 25 November 2009) best game on HD-Consolen |
| AnarchyWest (on 24 November 2009) La Li Lu Le Lo |
| pinkyxyz (on 21 November 2009) why haven't I bought this game yet????? |
 | tio_coyote (on 20 November 2009) this is going to be my first game when i get a ps3 |
 | MetalGearSolid_4ever (on 19 November 2009) slithering through to 4.5 ! |
 | zaMy (on 19 November 2009) Gilgamesh No, might if there is a MGS Collection type thing done |
| Bullza (on 19 November 2009) Was this adjusted? |
| MarshmallowMan (on 19 November 2009) Why is there no DLC for this game? Really good DLC or trophy support would get a lot of people (like me) to pick it up again. That said, I'm really just looking for an excuse to pick it up again! |
| Gilgamesh (on 17 November 2009) @zaMy did you play the previous MGS games? |
| zaMy (on 14 November 2009) Got this game, liked it, but could never really get into it. Story was interesting, I just have no will to play the game for some reason. |
| schumi (on 13 November 2009) Should reach at least 4.33 mln by the end of this week! Amazing game indeed, one of the best ever! You aren't a gamer if you don't buy MGS4. |
| CGI-Quality (on 13 November 2009) Greatest game ever made IMO, certainly this gen! |
| Nina5639 (on 12 November 2009) I think it will be at about 4.5 mill by the end of the year considering it continues to sell 25000 a month. |
| Bullza (on 12 November 2009) a) Yes b) No |
| MarshmallowMan (on 12 November 2009) 2 questions for you guys: a) Is MGS4 Online FREE? b) Is there trophy support for this game? Thanks very much!! |
 | huaxiong90 (on 12 November 2009) cloudrule: That's including other MGS games in the same time frame from MGS4's release and onwards. |
| el_rika (on 11 November 2009) @ MarshmallowMan - crazy but true ^_^ |
| MarshmallowMan (on 10 November 2009) Best game this gen. Also gets my vote for best game EVER (I know, that sounds crazy). |
| superbeast1370 (on 07 November 2009) I want to see 2 million in NA and Others each. |
| cloudrule (on 07 November 2009) Then i may be wrong...but its hard to believe that 450.000 copies are in retailers |
| Gearbox (on 06 November 2009) @cloudrule - SHIPPED is a big diference then in store sales. these dont show shipments these show the copies sold by retailers. so it hasnt reached 5 million if theve only shipped 4.75 |
| cloudrule (on 01 November 2009) guys..konami said that the game had reach 4.75 in the financial year of 2009...im sure by now tha its above 5 millions!!!vg has undertracked the game |
| sabby_e17 (on 31 October 2009) And these legs will easily push it to 5 million, hopefully 5.5 million. |
| sabby_e17 (on 31 October 2009) Best game ever. I'm sad we wont see anything like it in the near future. |
| Gilgamesh (on 29 October 2009) such a perfect game...I wanna replay it again |
| Ulysses (on 28 October 2009) Best game ive played from this generation. |
| Bullza (on 26 October 2009) Yeah so you keep saying Marco now STFU. |
| Marco (on 26 October 2009) best game on PS3, believe me! |
 | Webstar70 (on 24 October 2009) Best game, best series. |
| Gearbox (on 22 October 2009) @sexc_abbas10 - are u an alt by any chance? and no it wont sell that much, every1 will buy it used and we dont track used |
 | SmYsiZ (on 20 October 2009) I like pie ;O |
| sexc_abbas10 (on 20 October 2009) has this game reach 4.5 million yet, bye these holidays when the ps3 slim sales eploed many people are going to want this game so badly, so i reckon sales by the end of the year should reach 5 million if not extremly close |
| sangbyung (on 19 October 2009) good game. on par with uncharted2. if konami brings trophies, i will play again |
| Marco (on 17 October 2009) best game on PlayStation 3! |
| el_rika (on 16 October 2009) The king ! |
| scabab90 (on 15 October 2009) What 9000? theres no way that could be right. |
| Gearbox (on 15 October 2009) @ Drage - rofl "what does his power level say vegeta" "ITS OVERRR 9000!!!!" |
| AnarchyWest (on 15 October 2009) 1972 - The Sons of Big Boss are born |
 | Drage (on 15 October 2009) OVER 9000 views! |
 | amp316 (on 14 October 2009) Wow!!! Over 14,000 people clicked on this yesterday? :p |
| Marco (on 14 October 2009) best game with uncharted 2. buy a ps3 slim guys! |
| AnarchyWest (on 14 October 2009) SS-LET 1972-LS |
 | coolbeans (on 14 October 2009) Allow me to add to that 14k views :P. |
 | NoCtiS_NoX (on 14 October 2009) One of the main reason why is PS3 is still on the race. I am happy this game is still selling, truly deserved this sale. |
 | MANUELF (on 14 October 2009) 14k views? Someone is broking his F5 |
 | TyePhoid_PAL (on 13 October 2009) Game of the gen from the very first words War has changed. |
 | Shadower (on 13 October 2009) This game is a true masterpiece. |
| Blaiyan (on 13 October 2009) I'm surprised there are people with this on their wishlist when the game is already a greatest hit and goes anywhere from $20-30 on amazon. |
 | Skeeuk (on 11 October 2009) 5 million lifetime, 6 million if a substance release hits the shelvs |
 | THATGUY (on 10 October 2009) wot are the chances of this hitting 5million? i hope it does. |
 | FootballFan (on 10 October 2009) War has changed... |
| Marco (on 03 October 2009) best game on consoles! |
| Solid-Stark (on 02 October 2009) This deserves the Halo 3 type sells! |
| Gilgamesh (on 01 October 2009) Finally 700K in Japan |
| Wyku (on 28 September 2009) It was selling ~5K per week worldwide, which is why it was taking a long time to roll over those numbers. |
 | Notorius.A.i.G (on 25 September 2009) Once I played this, I really knew what perfection is. I hope it can get to 4.5 by years end |
| sabby_e17 (on 25 September 2009) The best game ever. Deserves 10 million sales+ |
| Heavenly_King (on 24 September 2009) TROPHIES PLEASE!!! |
| Solid-Stark (on 22 September 2009) Best cinematic experience ever! It just has to be undertracked in Japan |
| snyperdud (on 21 September 2009) Classic. |
| Thechalkblock (on 21 September 2009) MGS4 > Epic Yup, MGS4 is greater than epic. |
 | nakedfunk (on 20 September 2009) epic game. THE epic game. |
| -ku- (on 19 September 2009) Recap Update: (~= around) MGS1 ~ 6.5 million (or +) MGS2 ~ 7.5 million (+) MGS3 ~ 4-4.5 million w worse than 2 due to 2 being a disappointment MGS4 ~ 4.5 million The thing I hate is Konami rapes Kojima like George Lucas Rapes Indiana Jones. Kojima loves his games like art and want best quality for them so he goes with Sonyware. While Konami striving for cash spreads the games clones on other systems. Is it just me or it this somewhat exclusivity damage pissing anyone else off. Look now we have another third rate MGS title Raiden coming out Multi. |
 | Cowboys4u86 (on 17 September 2009) A lot of games are seeing sales boost thanks to the slim release. Nice to see people aren't abandoning the great games we've already experienced jsut because they aren't new. |
 | Aj_habfan (on 15 September 2009) Go... go go! |
| sabby_e17 (on 11 September 2009) One of the BEST games ever created. This game deserves to be in everyones collection. |
| scabab (on 10 September 2009) Actually there was a demo. |
 | tedsteriscool (on 09 September 2009) There was no demo... Sold 5k in Japan alone this last week. Will hit 5 million sooner than expected! |
| headshot91 (on 06 September 2009) i thought the demo was pretty crap. |
| Marco (on 05 September 2009) BUY IT, AMERICANS. BEST GAME IN THE HISTORIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEALTH-ACTION,SHOOTER,ONLINE,ADVENTURE - it looks so good and the gameplay is awesome! |
 | player1 (on 04 September 2009) any news about trophies? anyone? |
| zaMy (on 02 September 2009) I FINALLY GOT THIS GAME, LIMITED EDITION cuz it was only one, i can tell im going to love this game, havent played any other MGS games but im so happy i bought this. IT WAS ONLY 40$ for the limited edition, and COD4 was 59.99$ !!!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 31 August 2009) come on snake, sneak to that 5 million mark! |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 30 August 2009) it had to have a lot of cutscenes cuz it was the end of the series. |
| tedsteriscool (on 30 August 2009) If there were less cutscenes, I don't think Kojima could have tied up all the loose ends. MGS4 was the perfect ending to a perfect storyline. |
 | deathgod33 (on 30 August 2009) no i have played other mgs's and i know there has always been a lot of cutscenes but mgs4 was ridiculous |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 29 August 2009) its obvious u havent played the other mgs tittles deathgod, thats the magic =) |
| deathgod33 (on 29 August 2009) IMO it was ok, way too much watching and way too little playing |
| Solid_Snake4RD (on 29 August 2009) Kojima,you're a genius |
| sabby_e17 (on 28 August 2009) Best game this gen no doubt. |
| NSS7 (on 28 August 2009) This game has quite nice legs. Still selling 10k every week |
| Marco (on 28 August 2009) Number 1 in Japan, nice =) best game in my lifetime |
 | TheConduit (on 28 August 2009) Best selling PS3 game in Japan But after two weeks monster Hunter 3 for the Wii outsold it The Wii was definetly the best choice for the game |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 27 August 2009) yep that quote was simply amanzing. |
 | Agreatsplit (on 27 August 2009) GH version really helping the sales of this |
| el_rika (on 27 August 2009) @ vitoxxxx - that is the best quote ever, ever, EVER in any freaking movie or game , like ever. Did i mention how i love that quote (ever) ? ^_^ |
| Skeeuk (on 27 August 2009) 5 million lifetime |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 26 August 2009) Let it go...my son, im not here to fight. Big Boss |

| AnarchyWest (on 24 August 2009) "Snakes don't live in Alaska" -Vulcan Raven |
 | ps3_jrpg_gamer (on 24 August 2009) maybe it will hit 5 millions around january 2010 |
| haxxiy (on 24 August 2009) mmm, I wonder if it could hit 5 million? It would be great. |
| ps3_jrpg_gamer (on 24 August 2009) masterpiece best game this gen until XIII |
| AnarchyWest (on 24 August 2009) "A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal! " -Gray Fox |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 22 August 2009) i love this game soo much ill even buy another copy to keep it sealed. |
| Kyuu (on 21 August 2009) this makes a 300$ PS3 slim a must have hardware even if its the only game available for it. |
| Gilgamesh (on 20 August 2009) The greatest hits is doing well for this :) |
| jmcraddock (on 20 August 2009) Papazx is completely right |
| el_rika (on 20 August 2009) I think it has a real chance of going 5 :) |
 | Vashyo (on 20 August 2009) This will quickly rise to 5m when people can get their hands on the slim. |
| Marco (on 20 August 2009) People, buy MGS4 - the best game in the historie - with a PS3 SLIM! |
| Gearbox (on 19 August 2009) @Papazx - but after uve beaten it u can go thru for the trophiesss |
 | Papazx (on 18 August 2009) mgs4 still amazing im not sure if i would want trophies for this it might ruin the fill for the game without trophys you play it strictly for the game and i like that |
 | c03n3nj0 (on 15 August 2009) I'm playing the hell out of the 3rd one right now. i wanna play this! ^_^ |
| Marco (on 15 August 2009) i have ca. 170 games at home,but Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best videogame of my gameshistorie. Gamer, buy it. Very good story, awesome sequenzes and the gameplay is innovativ. |
| zaMy (on 14 August 2009) best selling ps3 game in japan bitches |
| sabby_e17 (on 14 August 2009) Did this just get adjusted up 20k? |
 | cheese_man (on 13 August 2009) Wow didn't realise people loved trophies so much... |
 | LetumLupus03 (on 12 August 2009) Well i know that even without the trophies included, i still want da game!!! But trophies will help for sales boost for sure!!! Trophies are like a reason to play more on a game!!! |
 | golfgt170 (on 12 August 2009) if trophies are implement sales will surely get a boost |
| Kenpachi15 (on 12 August 2009) GO SNAKE GO! |
 | Aidman (on 12 August 2009) @ sabby_e17 remind my feeling when I want it Zelda TP to reach the FIVE Million ^_^. |
 | ShadowSoldier (on 10 August 2009) Well Konami did say they shipped 4.75M and I expect that by the next time they make a statement on MGS4's sales it'll be over 5M shipped. Making it one of the Highest selling PS3 and MGS games |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 08 August 2009) Trophies would be great |
| sabby_e17 (on 07 August 2009) I'd love to see this hit 5 mllion. |
| RageBot (on 06 August 2009) No he doesn't, my brother and I bought the essential a few months ago and played it on the PS3 as normal. |
| coolbeans (on 05 August 2009) Grab the Essentials, Squall. Comes with the first 3 games although you need a PS1 memory card for the first one or something like that to be able to play both discs for MGS. |
 | Squall_Leonhart (on 05 August 2009) I think i will have to buy this sometime, only thing stopping me is that i have never played the MGS series before so don't want to be not knowing what is going on! |
 | GameAnalyser (on 05 August 2009) i loved this game...this is what ps3 has to keep deivering...great legs. |
 | Lil_D420 (on 04 August 2009) BOUGHT IT AGAIN JUST TO HAVE IT SEALED AS A COLLECTORS THING |
| RageBot (on 03 August 2009) Best game |
| Marco (on 03 August 2009) best playstation 3 game. |
| zaMy (on 02 August 2009) Yes, almost 4.10 million. I still have to get my copy :P |
| play_ea (on 01 August 2009) GAME in Uk isnt stocking the platinum version their just selling preowned copies for over £20 |
| leo-j (on 31 July 2009) it was adjusted by 10k down 10k that is |
 | shuckille (on 31 July 2009) the way square is right now..running down money i dont kno how final fantasy 13 will turn........they were once my fav developer they jus dont act the same anymore......sigh..........but mgs 4 is an excellent game!!!!!!!!! |
 | _mevildan (on 31 July 2009) I swear the total was 4.10 yesterday and now it's down to 4.09. |
| AnarchyWest (on 29 July 2009) Great game but not my favorite in the series MGS1 still holds the title |
| superbeast1370 (on 29 July 2009) @ el_rika - FFXII sucked hard. X was the last great FF, but you never know. |
| el_rika (on 29 July 2009) @ Zezlar - there no guarantee that FFXIII will be all that great and regardless, i sincerely doubt it will match MGS4 story/presentation and overall epicness. Anything is possible though, all FF games are top tier. |
 | indodude (on 28 July 2009) This game defines WIN |
 | Zezlar (on 28 July 2009) My favorite game on the Playstation 3 at this time, that is until FFXIII comes out! Come on more MGS games! |
| Marco (on 25 July 2009) best game in the games-historie |
 | dizzydee_011 (on 22 July 2009) Great game. |
| el_rika (on 21 July 2009) MGS4 could have as well sold 5 mil. who knows... I think it is a fair guess that it already surpassed MGS3's sales, which is a pretty amazing achievement considering the userbase. |
| Gilgamesh (on 20 July 2009) I think MGS3 is under tracked, it could have possibly sold 4.7 million |
| HelloMotto (on 20 July 2009) Hmmm, according to VGChartz, MGS4 outsold MGS3? |
| c03n3nj0 (on 17 July 2009) I think I will get a ps3 to play this, now that i have the other 3. |
| Gearbox (on 16 July 2009) @zaMy - these "weeks" u speak of are very concerning. simply because it was 4.06 be4 the july 4th update, and it hasnt been updated since. the bundles started after the 4th aswell so they havent shown up yet :) |
| zaMy (on 16 July 2009) Its been at 4.07 for a few weeks... Considering its been bundled for the past few weeks with killzone, and is now greatist hits I think it has sold more copies than 4.07... |
| pablogers (on 15 July 2009) it would be interesting to know how much mgs4 - killzone 2 ps3 bundles sony put on sale... but still guessing if vg counts bundled copies |
| Carl2291 (on 15 July 2009) This game back on top, where it belongs. |
 | dsister44 (on 14 July 2009) I'm guessing till they sale out |
| Gearbox (on 13 July 2009) how long do the last? cause id love to c this game reaching 2 million in america be4 christmas time this year :) |
| dsister44 (on 12 July 2009) The bundles start today |
| Gearbox (on 12 July 2009) @pablogers - has the bundle started yet? |
| pablogers (on 09 July 2009) are bundles copies included in sales???? |
| Aj_habfan (on 07 July 2009) No, they are going to drop the price on the previous shipment's and add more "Greatest Hit" copies. |
| coolbeans (on 07 July 2009) Since it's been out for a year, aren't they gonna discontinue shipping it though? If so, I see it falling short of 5 mil lifetime. Just bought today too can't wait to play soon. |
| Gilgamesh (on 06 July 2009) @Slimebeast, it already shipped 4.75 million so it's guaranteed that. |
| TheConduit (on 06 July 2009) Other than being a little to short this game fits well into my definition of perfect when describing a game. 9.99/10 |
 | Slimebeast (on 06 July 2009) Slimebeast posted 11/06/2008, 03:03 "I predict 94% on Gamerankings, and near 5 million copies lifetime sales. 650K in NA 1st week. 750K in Europe/others." It got 93% on GR, sold 730K in NA, 560K in Europe 1st week and will sell near 4.5 million copies lifetime. |
| Gilgamesh (on 05 July 2009) I'm finally a proud owner of this game! I just got to beat Bioshock first then I can play it |
 | Cougarman (on 04 July 2009) MGS4 just came to me by post today, i cant wait to play it |
| coolbeans (on 01 July 2009) I'll soon add this to my collection since it's now $30. Can't wait to play :) |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 01 July 2009) actually 94 for 5million =p |
| Munkeh111 (on 01 July 2009) @ yusuque, so only 100 weeks to go! |
 | Theo (on 01 July 2009) Woot 4 mil, and still sellin strong. I think this game has been rightfully appreciated. |
| FootballFan (on 30 June 2009) No trophies *sigh* |
 | yusuke93_ita (on 27 June 2009) 10K this week! |
| Vashyo (on 25 June 2009) It's a shame this game isn't getting trophies anytime soon, it has lot of stuff to do so trophies would be cool. |
| scourge29 (on 25 June 2009) i cant wait for peace walker |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 25 June 2009) wow it sold almost 4k in japan this week, so it should sell much more in NA this week. |
 | NKAJ (on 25 June 2009) their not going to add trophies,its been out a year and nothings come out |
| shanbcn (on 24 June 2009) 4.75 million was for all MGS games in FY08, but i belive MGS4 shipped figure was around 4.40-4.50 million. Which mean current numbers are correct. Anyway i think it will pass 5 million. |
| Gearbox (on 24 June 2009) @ FootballFan - trophies havent been added just yet |
| scourge29 (on 19 June 2009) i loved mgo |
| FootballFan (on 18 June 2009) Over 1k PS3 owners. Also can anyone confirm trophies for this? |
| RageBot (on 17 June 2009) That's 4.75 sold to retail stores, not costumers. |
| irishLAD09 (on 17 June 2009) Will easily break 5 million now that its in the greatest hits. Only 250'000 to go as konami announced its sold 4.75 million so this is undertracked by about 700'000 |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 16 June 2009) where do u heard that spedfrom? |
 | Spedfrom (on 15 June 2009) Trophies are comingggggg, yeah baby! Time to replay it. xD |
 | yungmagic09 (on 14 June 2009) Great game so far, just now getting to Act 4. |
| snyperdud (on 14 June 2009) There are 999 owners on VGChartz. |
 | Kamal (on 13 June 2009) Just got to ACT 2. I have to say fantastic game, it's up there with the greatest. |
| Aj_habfan (on 13 June 2009) 4.04 million sales after 1 year. If it continues at this rate, it will be highest selling game ever in 12 years! |
 | Dark Odin (on 12 June 2009) almost one year. if kojima patch the game with trohphies, I´d play ot again. |
| TheConduit (on 12 June 2009) truly a masterpiece Perfect: Gameplay Visuals Audio Story |
| darthdevidem01 (on 11 June 2009) METAL GEAR SOLID 4 : GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS Anniversary THREAD : http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76640 PLAY MGS4 with Vg chartz/Play MGO With Vg Chartz Buddies Reply in thread below to JOIN US! |
 | Crypto139 (on 11 June 2009) I think I can pretty safely say that this will be better than Rising (whats the biggest difference between this and Rising) |
| NKAJ (on 10 June 2009) i just got this and i now understand what all the fuss is about |
| Gearbox (on 08 June 2009) @ okeydokey lets just hope 5 and 6 are 6million+ and not 3 million like that trend shows |
 | PS3beats360 (on 08 June 2009) MGS 4 now over 4 million sales. Way to go. Great game. enough said. 5 million ltd sales for MGS 4 is possible. |
 | tombi123 (on 07 June 2009) LOL OkeyDokey |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 05 June 2009) 1.68m in America 1.68m in Europe 0.68m in Japan o_O MGS1 5.59m MGS2 5.58m MGS3 4.03m MGS4 4.04m O_O I have too much time on my hands... |
| el_rika (on 03 June 2009) @# Solid_Snake4RD - true that, it is a modern clasic. I have serious doubts Kojima & Co will be able to surpass this one. |
 | Serious_frusting (on 02 June 2009) Still selling a respectable amount each week |
| Gearbox (on 02 June 2009) uhm how? |
| Solid_Snake4RD (on 01 June 2009) this game is like the FF7 and Gran Turismo 3 of this gen |
 | Idree (on 30 May 2009) About time they adjusted it up :) Greatest game ever! |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 30 May 2009) well uncharted and resistance both kept selling and reached 1 million in a year so mgs4 can do it too |
 | Gamer4eva (on 29 May 2009) i think 5 million is perfectly reachable given that it is going GH. dont forget it has not even been one year yet, so for it to get another 900k in the next few years is perfectly achieveable |
| jmcraddock (on 29 May 2009) Once its acctually selling as Greatist Hits it will go up alot more, but I dont think it will reach 5 million. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 29 May 2009) its GH now our very soon on NA so the sells will increse (they should) |
| FootballFan (on 29 May 2009) it wont hit 5 million *sigh* |
 | The_Botman (on 29 May 2009) Grats on 4 mil, but it should be higher. |
| el_rika (on 28 May 2009) Couldn't agree with you more Gamer4eva ^_^ |
| Gamer4eva (on 28 May 2009) THEE BEST GAME EVER MADE |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 28 May 2009) which is weird since it went platium not that long ago |
| leo-j (on 27 May 2009) yea its still being charted in OTHERS "barely" |
| snyperdud (on 27 May 2009) Over 4.04 million. It made me crack a smile. |
| Carl2291 (on 26 May 2009) Cant belive it lost all those hits :-( |
| FootballFan (on 26 May 2009) 970 owners :0 |
| Serious_frusting (on 23 May 2009) not adjusted up that much. I bet it is going to get adjusted up more |
| Snake612 (on 23 May 2009) It finally hit 4 million. |
| Max King of the Wild (on 22 May 2009) Zuh - Famitsu > MediaCrete > VGC. Famitsu covers about 80% of Japan. MC covers about 60% VGC covers about... one store for preliminary. Why do you think the prelims are so broad? VGC just takes MC and Fam numbers and meets halfway. While looking at current trends to see which track holds more water. |
 | Zuhyc (on 22 May 2009) Famitsu =/= VGchartz. Understand this people! They both have different tracking methods, which will result in slightly different numbers. I bet you wouldn't be yelling OVERTRACKED!!! if Famitsu had it at 660k. |
| legendarysaiyanbroly (on 22 May 2009) Still undertracked, especially in Japan! >=( |
| Lil_D420 (on 21 May 2009) yup 4 mill bout time took 3-4 months to adjust up at least to that amount from 3.9mill |
| Dgc1808 (on 21 May 2009) Great Sales. |
| shanbcn (on 21 May 2009) It already passed 700k in Japan in latest Famitsu numbers. |
 | cochise313 (on 21 May 2009) over 4 million well earned |
| Heavenly_King (on 21 May 2009) GOOD WORK SNAKE!! |
 | sergiopepeu2 (on 21 May 2009) Yeaaaaaaaaaaah! 4 Million!! |
| Carl2291 (on 21 May 2009) 4Million finally. |
 | AFFLICTION (on 20 May 2009) 4 mill yay |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 20 May 2009) it as a chance of reaching 4.5 hell even 5million when it hits GH in america |
| pablogers (on 20 May 2009) cmon... this game has sold more than snake eater in a console that has almost 15% of the consoles that has ps2... this is a winner |
| Skeeuk (on 20 May 2009) i expect this to top out at 5 million, if a substance is re-released. |
 | BMaker11 (on 19 May 2009) wow...after being at 3.91-3.93 for soooooo long, I guess 100k people decided to finally go out and buy all those "extra" copies Konami said they shipped out.....or this game is just massively undertracked |
| Max King of the Wild (on 19 May 2009) actually... on second thought they are saying less than 100k of the 250k were MGS4 since the 250k are a month and a half old numbers. |
| Max King of the Wild (on 19 May 2009) 100k is a start but vgc is still saying 150k was mgs trilogy pack... now for the kojima 'MGS4 special edition with raiden missions' announcement for another 300k sales |
 | infamous8 (on 19 May 2009) $35 in canada these days |
| cheese_man (on 19 May 2009) Oh yeh!! Finally VG chartz admitted to being wrong. Oh yeh!! I still beleive it's a little undertracked though But good news :D |
| XxXProphecyXxX (on 19 May 2009) LOL! at last the long awaited adjustments!! |
 | nen-suer (on 19 May 2009) 5 million is you next objective Snake |
| leo-j (on 18 May 2009) outsold MGS3 |
| leo-j (on 18 May 2009) OVER 4 MILLION!!! |
| Gearbox (on 18 May 2009) wooo woooow updated numbers |
 | SHMUPGurus (on 18 May 2009) Nice, and it didn't change one thing in my miserable life. o_O |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 18 May 2009) dont count on it |
| snyperdud (on 18 May 2009) So people arent going to bitch anymore? |
| Thechalkblock (on 18 May 2009) :O Whoa! |

| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 18 May 2009) yea i belive that too but 4.10-4.20 million |
 | Avarice28 (on 18 May 2009) Finally adjusted up to "close" to were it is suppose to be. I believe it is really at 4.4 mill. |

| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 18 May 2009) yes!!!!!! at last justice =D |
 | JEstevens (on 18 May 2009) 25 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Konami 48 5,517 4,011,824 why it isnt 4 M ?!?!? and it is 3 93M |
 | C_Hollomon (on 18 May 2009) @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. |
 | jesus kung fu magic (on 17 May 2009) People still complaining about the sales? 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..... |
| Max King of the Wild (on 17 May 2009) id assume majority of those 250k shipped are MGS4. id also say that it was also undertracked when konami said 4.5mil and we had it at what... like 3.80? |
| Max King of the Wild (on 17 May 2009) does konami even consider the trilogy pack as 3 sales? i would assume no since they are selling it once at a flat rate... and is konami even shipping 1, 2, and 3 seperatly? |
| iWarMachine (on 16 May 2009) THIS GAME IS UNDERTRACKED: 4.75m announced by KONAMI. 'NUFF SAID. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/sales-of-mgs4-reach-4-75-million |
 | nordlead (on 16 May 2009) 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. |
| Valkyre (on 16 May 2009) @ 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. |
 | Zlejedi (on 16 May 2009) Hmm so there's around 500k copies on the shelves according to VGC? And retailers still bought another 200k over recent months ? |
| nordlead (on 16 May 2009) I will agree that it is slightly undertracked, but no where near the 4.75m number you guys want it to be. in fact, read this post, and you'll see it really isn't all that far off http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=2160334 |
 | rafichamp (on 15 May 2009) Wow, this is HUGELY under-tracked, Konami just released their numbers for MGS4 and its at 4.75m sold. Common VGC |
 | xxxvitoxxx (on 15 May 2009) i have to agree with valkyre but it useless, they will never admit that their numbers are wrong |
| Valkyre (on 15 May 2009) 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.... |
| ElectronicRocker (on 15 May 2009) lol what other mgs games are still getting printed? admit it your numbers are wrong this is ridicilious |
| Valkyre (on 15 May 2009) seriously how many of those 800k copies out there you think are NOT MGS4....?? I mean is there so much need for more copies on other MGS entries at this moment? Sorry , but logic says that at least 75% of these 800k are MGS4 units. Also as i said Japan sales were 690k 2 months ago... |
| nordlead (on 15 May 2009) The 4.75 number is for the Entire MGS series as can be seen by Konami's news release http://www.konami.co.jp/en/ir/ir-data/meeting/2009/0514.pdf |
| Valkyre (on 15 May 2009) @Dark Odin, Haha , yeah , it seems ,my friend, that konami likes to stack up copies on shelves , even though the game does not sell at all according to Vgchartz! It seems that , no matter what proof you provide in this website , you are still "talking out of your ass"... am i right?? |
| Dark Odin (on 15 May 2009) PS3 exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4 has now reached 4.75 million units worldwide, says Konami http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23628 almost one million on shelves? |
 | vic_viper (on 14 May 2009) "Snake, there's an ambush ahead." Raiden |
| snyperdud (on 14 May 2009) Thats it... I'm replaying through this, once again. |
| Gearbox (on 14 May 2009) plus ur link is broken |
| Gearbox (on 14 May 2009) it says units shiped. so its less then that. prlly 500 000 less... at leats its passed 4 mil |
| AnarchyWest (on 14 May 2009) "Are you ready now...my brother?" -Liquid Snake |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 14 May 2009) That punch... Zanzibar! Grey Fox The guy below dont be so mard |
| scabab (on 13 May 2009) Anarky how about we shut up with the game quotes, this is to discuss sales. Vgchartz is obviously wrong again but like most sites would never dare to admit to it. |
| AnarchyWest (on 13 May 2009) "Snake do you remember me now" -Grey Fox |
| el_rika (on 13 May 2009) "I'm neither enemy nor friend. I'm back from a world where such words are meaningless" |
 | TheThunder (on 13 May 2009) just bought the LE edition for $35. Looking forward to it after I beat the first 3 games |
| AnarchyWest (on 12 May 2009) "I felt that Snake" -Grey Fox |
| Gamer4eva (on 11 May 2009) And on what basis is there proof that MGS4, according to the last 3 months, has sold on average approximetly 300 GAME PER DAY WORLD WIDE? 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? Sorry for poor english, too tired, but i guess u can make it out. |
| Valkyre (on 11 May 2009) @ Nordlead If you are a moderator , then i am really appalled that you had to verbally insult me , to make your point.It is another thing being sarcastic , and another to insult. Exceptional job on that front , you make this forum great. Anyway , fair enough , i am talking out of my ass and i should provide evidence , what about you?Please provide evidence why the sales decreased when it went platinum , and please provide with evidence that the game actually sells as much as you claim it to be , ie 10k a month. Please without insults.Thank you. PS: Oh and btw we have actual proof that the game has sold 690k in japan almost 2 months ago... Proof:http://www.edge-online.com/news/japans-top-100-sellers-revealed |
| nordlead (on 11 May 2009) @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. |
| Valkyre (on 11 May 2009) @Carl2291... Thats all you have to say...? FYI ,I am calm ,i simply dont understand the reason , why this is going on forever... And it is not just my comments , but 231315 comments in here talking about that... Personally all i would love to hear from the staff is: "maybe we are wrong on this one..." |
| Carl2291 (on 10 May 2009) @Valkyre... Calm down? |
| Valkyre (on 10 May 2009) 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! |
| Gamer4eva (on 10 May 2009) I think the whole world knows this is undertracked, its just VGCHARTZ who has yet to realise because all they say is "Prove it is undertracked by providing a link", which is near impossible, but yet they never explain how exactly sales DECREASED when it went platinum? |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 10 May 2009) I'm also stumped by the fact its gone platinum and its seen no increase. Oh well great sales as it stands. |
| cheese_man (on 10 May 2009) @nordlead Man who cares about the 4.5 million sold thing... just tell us how its possible for the best and highest selling ps3 exclusive to sell 30k in 3 months and it went PLATINUM DURING that time Care to explain? Thanks |
| el_rika (on 10 May 2009) "Careful, i'm no rookie...i'm a ten years vet" "You haven't even taken the safety off rokkie" |
| nordlead (on 09 May 2009) @gamer that link is actually wrong. The article was posted Feb 6th, and quoted 4.7m units through December 08. So I went to konami's website ( http://www.konami.co.jp/en/news/ ) and pulled up the news and went to the February section and they had news from the 5th. Followed this link http://www.konami.co.jp/en/ir/ir-data/meeting/2009/0205.pdf 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 |
| AnarchyWest (on 09 May 2009) "Can you shoot me rookie" -Solid Snake |
| Untamoi (on 09 May 2009) 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. |
| Gamer4eva (on 09 May 2009) http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/18795/Konami-Reports-Financials-Picks-Up-SAW-Franchise/ MGS4 4.7MILLION SOLD SINCE FEBRURARY!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 | Bullet100000 (on 09 May 2009) Slowly climbing towards the 4mil mark!!!!! |
| AnarchyWest (on 08 May 2009) "Im you. Im your shadow" -Liquid Snake |
| Valkyre (on 08 May 2009) Why was my comment deleted exactly?Did i state something different than most people have in the last few comments , even on this first page?? Why because we have no answer as to why a company keeps sending more shipments for a game that is selling 10k a month?? I would really love an explanation as to why it was only my comments removed and not the rest of them, which are basically stating the same thing i was.... |
| nordlead (on 08 May 2009) @Bravo please provide a link to Konami making such a statement. The only thing I am able to find is Konami saying the series sold 4.5m in 08. |
 | Bravo315 (on 08 May 2009) @Gamer4eva I know. Konami officially said it has sold 4.7m (not shipped, but SOLD). Please sort this out VgChartz. |
| pslee (on 07 May 2009) one of the best game of all time. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 May 2009) gamer4eva does have a point this game went platium on europe and the bost was too low ( if any at all) which is imposible |
| Gamer4eva (on 07 May 2009) This game hasn't moved barely for like 4 months. Something is not right. It goes platinum and number dropped?, uhh no, not happening. VGCHARTZ has failed at tracking this, as someone said, 30k in 3 months, which is basically 333 copies sold a day, Uhh, no. |
| wiistation360forlife (on 07 May 2009) psm said mgs4 selld 5 million already |
| wiistation360forlife (on 07 May 2009) good game |
| cheese_man (on 06 May 2009) Amazing. According to VG chartz this game sold about 30k in about 3 or so months. That I can't beleive |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 06 May 2009) @ uramesh Link? If true, interesting. The game is barely selling at all, yet the shipments are steadily rising... |
 | urameshixr (on 05 May 2009) numbers of konami: 4.7 now. |
 | blazinhead89 (on 05 May 2009) Close to 1,000 Vgchartz Owners! |
| infamous8 (on 03 May 2009) it will eventually reach 4.5 million |
| pslee (on 02 May 2009) amazing game. this game made me a ps3 fan. my bro said snake eater was better though. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 02 May 2009) I really expected a nice boost with its platinum release in UK |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 29 April 2009) Just another 80,000 or so and this will get the 4 million sold that it oh so deserves! :-) |
| nordlead (on 29 April 2009) @xxxvitoxxx just click the word "sales history" and it will take you to a graph. Change it to weekly sales, and then make sure to set the number of weeks to 90 or less and you can see every weeks sales numbers by mousing over the graph. |
| _mevildan (on 28 April 2009) Wooo hoooo. 3.92 million. Was tired of seeing 3.91 for so long. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 28 April 2009) where can i see those numbers kantor??? |
 | Kantor (on 28 April 2009) 3,378 copies last week? What the hell? |
| Crypto139 (on 28 April 2009) Best music in a game ever! Really powerful at some points |
| karwacki (on 27 April 2009) best game i have ever played. |
| Aldro (on 27 April 2009) Konami said they shipped like 4.5-8 in November and recently 5. I doubt that was the entire MGS franchise. So the reason for them to ship even more must mean they are starting to run out? Its kinda a platinum now, I seriously believe everyone with a functional brain gotta think its 4M ATLEAST by now. |
 | Neos (on 27 April 2009) the game is 25-30 euros here and it gained over 20 VGC owners just in this week. 3-4k per week seems a little...suspicious to me. And that's coming from a nintendo fanboy ;) |
| nordlead (on 26 April 2009) @mikemill and everyone else who claims this game is undertracked. 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. |
 | mikemill (on 26 April 2009) Konami reported back in November that this game had sold 4.5 million... surely it's close to if not at 5 million now... WHAT GIVES VGCHARTZ? |
 | HoodFigga (on 26 April 2009) This game has been at 3.91 Mil for the longest. |
| Zlejedi (on 26 April 2009) Can it make it up to 5M when they release the best edition in Japan and USA ? |
| Neos (on 26 April 2009) Such a great game. |
| yusuke93_ita (on 26 April 2009) Come on!!!!!!!! it's heavily undertracked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 mil |
| Heavenly_King (on 25 April 2009) SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!! YOU CAN DO IT :D |
| AnarchyWest (on 24 April 2009) La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo |
 | DiplomaticImmunity (on 24 April 2009) you know this is like @ 5 mil right |
 | Boshaman1992 (on 24 April 2009) i read in PSM this month that MGS4 has passed the 5 million mark for units sold! UPDATE ANY TIME SOON!! |
 | ithis (on 23 April 2009) Damn it, I'm only at chapter(?) two, but I already regret paying attention to all the spoilers I've been exposed to. 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. |
| Snake612 (on 22 April 2009) Come one guys, Make this game sell 4 million. |
| blazinhead89 (on 22 April 2009) come on to 1,000 vgchartz owners |
| nordlead (on 21 April 2009) Wikipedia is also a completely unreliable source. |
| rafichamp (on 21 April 2009) This is soooo under-tracked, wikipedia already has it as 4.5 million |
| nordlead (on 20 April 2009) @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. |
| jmcraddock (on 19 April 2009) @nordlead Metal Gear Solid 2 sold over 7 million copies world wide... no joke. Check out that video game page, some guy left a link to an official website. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 19 April 2009) War... has changed Solid Snake |
| nordlead (on 19 April 2009) @halo_john 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. |
| Halo_John (on 19 April 2009) This is weird, many other sources says that this game already sold more than 4.5 million in the end of 2008, why are they undertracking this game?! |

| Vashyo (on 18 April 2009) This is good...isn't it? - Big Boss Not really good since it has propably sold over 5 mil allready. I'm very curious to see how well the game has actually been doing. |
| Gearbox (on 17 April 2009) commoan kojima just formally say ur making metal gear solid 5. ur doing a horrible job keeping this game in the eyes of people.. tsk tsk |

| ithis (on 17 April 2009) MGO will get some new online content, if not already did. I'm still only on my first play through. And it rocks. Whoever said this game is light on game play did so with ill intent. |

| nordlead (on 15 April 2009) @drakesfortune Amazon.com is not representative of the entire market. Amazon may represent the online portion of the market, but you get a totally different story in stores like walmart, bestbuy, and ebgames. oh, and as pointed up, it has been going up, there were just some adjustments on previous weeks that brought it down. |
| AnarchyWest (on 15 April 2009) " A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal" - Grey Fox |
| Gearbox (on 15 April 2009) they went up 10 k last week and 10k the weke before |
| drakesfortune (on 15 April 2009) I don't get it, this game is always in the top 100, and usually in the top 50 on Amazon. How is it possible that the numbers don't seem to be going up at all? |
| AnarchyWest (on 14 April 2009) el_rika well done "We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing... the ONLY thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in. |

| nordlead (on 06 April 2009) America encompasses all countries within at least North America, and I also (not 100% sure, I'd have to ask again) South America. |
| kersed3 (on 05 April 2009) @nordlead Do you guys count Canada sales? If yes, are they with Others or America? If no, can you start counting them with Austrailia? (One coloum) |
| nordlead (on 03 April 2009) Actually, 100k still puts it short of 4m. Also, most were claiming it should be 4.25-4.5m units based on incorrect information. The point still stands, that the trolling on the game pages needs to stop. This goes for all games, but this one was by far the worst. |
 | SaviorX (on 02 April 2009) It will get to 4m. People need to stop complaining. |
| Max King of the Wild (on 02 April 2009) nordlead you just kinda contradicted yourself. you said 'next person who says this should be over 4 million' then said 'EU might be OT by 100k' which would put it over 4 million with fams numbers. which by the way are old because i remember joking 'omg vgc undertrack by 20k i demand adjustments' |
| nordlead (on 31 March 2009) @grass that is a 4% difference, which is well within statistical margin of error. |
 | Grass (on 31 March 2009) Famitsu Top 10 PS3 games 01 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot (Konami) 26/07/2007 698,401 |
| el_rika (on 31 March 2009) VGChartz is doing the best they can. Cut them some slack would you guys... |
| cheese_man (on 31 March 2009) Can I ask, where is the incrase of sales? This game went platinum nearly a month ago now. |
| nordlead (on 31 March 2009) oh, and just because VGChartz isn't tracking old PS2 games doesn't mean they don't still sell. Europe is a perfect example of us not tracking brand new games. |
| nordlead (on 31 March 2009) The only room for error right now is through Europe, not the US, and not Japan. Maybe it could be 100k higher in Europe, but that is no reason to troll this game page almost every single day. Also, spouting false claims just gets more fanboys going. The amount of FU vgchartz I have to clean up every day is completely and totally uncalled for. As a game DB admin, I am putting a stop to it now. |
| Gamer4eva (on 31 March 2009) @nordlead 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. |
| nordlead (on 30 March 2009) 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. |
| doubletap (on 27 March 2009) @Hideo_kojima i rike at!!! |
 | PullusPardus (on 25 March 2009) @Hideo_kojima Rofl? |
 | Hideo_kojima (on 25 March 2009) Thank you guys for supporting this game,I want to hug all of you But sadly i can't:((,I'm thinking about porting this game To the 360 i want your guys feedback.thanks and like i always say"Good day!" |
| DiplomaticImmunity (on 25 March 2009) i thought konami stated over 4 million already |
| Vashyo (on 25 March 2009) I thought this sold over 4.5 mil last year :O |
| chris1_16 (on 24 March 2009) it's undertracked by how much? |
| snyperdud (on 24 March 2009) Turns out it was overtracked. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 22 March 2009) Thought it going platinum in EU would have given a boost. |
| Heavenly_King (on 22 March 2009) @ Zkuq What the hell you are talking about?!!. How 4.5M shipped is for all the series?? MGS1 alone has sold 5.5M copies. |
 | Zkuq (on 22 March 2009) The 4.5M was shipped (to retailers), not sold (to customers). VGChartz tracks sold, not shipped. Also, it was 4.5M for the whole series, not MGS4 alone. |
| Aj_habfan (on 20 March 2009) Good to know. You should make your own website and share your abundance of knowledge with us poor minions. |
| blazinhead89 (on 18 March 2009) To 4 Million! Will overtake MGS3 soon |
 | HDDVD_ftw (on 18 March 2009) Probably the best game this generation (and I played them all), and one of the best games ever. Amazing production value. Stratospheric level only Kojima can reach. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 18 March 2009) In the uk this is now platitum. 24.99 gbp. Hope it reenters the charts for a while again |
| snyperdud (on 18 March 2009) People are still complaining about the numbers? Christ, It's almost at 4 million. Isn't that enough? And most of you are posting SHIPPED numbers. |
 | outlawauron (on 17 March 2009) @ Zkuq It shipped that much in that Fiscal Year. Being that there were virtually no shipments of other MGS games. It's safe to say that 99% of those shipments were MGS4. |
| Zkuq (on 16 March 2009) The whole series (includes other games besides MGS4 too) had SHIPPED (shipped, as in sold to retailers, instead of sold to customers, which is what VGC tracks) 4.5M when Konami announced the sales. Repeat: the whole series had SHIPPED 4.5M back then, not MGS4 alone. |
 | saimcheeda (on 16 March 2009) 4.5 million is the right amount!!!!!! |
| Aj_habfan (on 15 March 2009) I don't think you've been paying attention Aldro, it just moved up to 3.90 this week. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 15 March 2009) BEST GAME EVER! |
| Aldro (on 15 March 2009) Its been 3.90 for about 3 months! Come on >. |
 | pearLy (on 14 March 2009) It was released as Platinum here in Europe last week. Maybe there will be a small boost in sales. |
| oliminator1994 (on 14 March 2009) Give it trophies already! snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| snyperdud (on 13 March 2009) Cmon 4 milliom! only 100k to go. |
 | VGSpain (on 13 March 2009) Only 3.90M?? " Konami ha vendido al término del tercer trimestre fiscal 22,35 millones de copias de sus videojuegos en todo el mundo, con Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots superando la barrera de los 4,5 millones de copias y Pro Evolution Soccer cerca de 7,5 millones de unidades" Here.. you can see MGS4 has sold more than 4.5M, what happens? |
| erodrig85 (on 12 March 2009) actually it wont be released on 360 so stop dreaming another if you know about the metal gear series u will know what im talking bout |
| NanakiXI (on 11 March 2009) @erodrig85 MUST BE SOME GOOD DRUGS YOUR ON TO TYPE ALL LIKE THIS! On topic. This game will reach 5mil eventually and will be up there with all the other Metal Gear Solid titles. I also think though if this game is later released for the 360 it will get a good number of sells as well. |
 | NicholasCage (on 10 March 2009) Borrowed this from a friend and beat it. I will personally buy it when it has trophy support. |
| erodrig85 (on 10 March 2009) A MAJOR GAME THAT FOR ME WILL NEVER FORGET HOW GOOD IT LOOKS HOPE TO SEE ANOTHER METAL GEAR ABOUT THE BATTLES OF SNAKE VS GREY FOX AND BIG BOSS DURING ZANZIBAR THAT BE AWESOME TO SEE ON PS3 |
| Aldro (on 10 March 2009) Best game period!!!!!!! |
| Aj_habfan (on 09 March 2009) It would be hard to dive in, but they do give lots of little flashbacks. I'd say go for it. |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 09 March 2009) I would buy this but the last MGS game i tried was 2 and i just could not get into it... Would i need to play all the previous games to get an idea of what is going on or could i just 'dive in' so to speak :-) |
| C_Hollomon (on 09 March 2009) This game is soooooooooo good. Every PS3 owner should have this. There should be over 10 million of this game sold. Come on PS3 owners buy this awesome game. |
| pslee (on 09 March 2009) i had this game for about 8 months but didnt even started yet. too busy playing other games. who says ps3 doesnt have good games!!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 March 2009) by then it will be late...=( |
| Gearbox (on 06 March 2009) sony wouldnt advert this game, they dont even advert their own games. REASON: their ps3 is selling at a loss, so their hopin that it will sell alright until they make a profit from each sold. then once they do that they will bring in the shit storm! |
| challis (on 06 March 2009) MGS4 is coming to the ipod and iphone next. Check out Konami's website. |
| luisgvm (on 05 March 2009) SONY should start advertising this again on tv jejejeje. |
 | danielhiru (on 05 March 2009) So when should we expect sales to pick up from platinum status is Others? |
| el_rika (on 05 March 2009) Man, how i agree. MGS4 is the pinnacle of the series and quite possilbly the most amazing story ever made ! |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 05 March 2009) 100k till 4 million!! My fave game this gen awesome sales!!!!!!!! |
| Vagabund (on 05 March 2009) finally ordered it too, cause I noticed that my favorite shop is already selling it at platinum price - however still without the ugly platinum case :) wonder how much i'll like it, since i don't know the other MGS too well |
 | dravenmanson (on 04 March 2009) Best game ever!!!!!! |
| Zlejedi (on 04 March 2009) with platinum release in Europe it should jump to 4 M very quickly |
| Kantor (on 04 March 2009) 110k more until FOUR MILLION SALES! And if 9 of those are from VGC, we'll have 800 owners! |
| snyperdud (on 04 March 2009) Almost 800 people on this site own this. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 03 March 2009) so many months on MGS4 still lives on in our minds MGS4 = best game ever MGS4 FTW! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 02 March 2009) its good but i prefer the PAL boxart much more |
| el_rika (on 02 March 2009) What is wrong with the boxart ? Snake's expression perfectly portrays the old and tired Snake in the game. I think it is a great and powerfull boxart. |
| cheese_man (on 02 March 2009) Yeah I too hate the boxart. PAL boxart is 10x better than u.s but still not great. |
| PullusPardus (on 01 March 2009) @Valkyria , the boxart i own is better http://www.blogcdn.com/playstation.joystiq.com/media/2008/02/425_mgs4coverart.jpg =P |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 01 March 2009) the boxart isnt bad but not awesome aswell, its ok |
| Valkyria00 (on 28 February 2009) Terrible terrible box art. Its completely shit and gets me pissed off every time I look at it. But best game this generation so far. =P |
 | makingmusic476 (on 28 February 2009) 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. |
| el_rika (on 27 February 2009) I always though the numbers updates were beeing generated automatically. I guess not. This makes VGChartz staff efforts even more admirable. |
| scourge666 (on 26 February 2009) i think the reeviews are slowing down the posts of the nummbers |
| Marco (on 26 February 2009) update@vgchartz wordwilde: 4,5 million |
 | Louie (on 26 February 2009) In case you didn't notice Brett is currently working on vgchartz 2.0 and doesn't have the time to update those numbers. Stop asking for adjustments, I don't want to have to hand out bans, really. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 25 February 2009) man two weeks now and it havent sold 10k in europe....damn p.s yea update to 700k in japan plz |
| Gamer4eva (on 25 February 2009) Every little helps Louie. :) NOW UPDATE IT PAST 700K IN JAPAN !!!!!!!! |
| Louie (on 23 February 2009) 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? |
| snyperdud (on 23 February 2009) Everyone needs to chill... Its not like 30k is a whole lot to begin with,and it will barely make a difference. |
| superbeast1370 (on 22 February 2009) you people seem to forget that VGchartz can't track everything, everythere. |
| scourge666 (on 22 February 2009) with all these complaints they r bound to update |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 21 February 2009) yea i know its hard but after proof that the game is undertracked by 20k(more by now) in japan since the end of the year and failling to update is instant fail in my book |
 | Solid_Raiden (on 21 February 2009) Get over it people. VGCHARTZ is great at tracking console sales, but it's harder to track video game sales. Still, it strikes me as odd of how many times ps3 games get adjusted down when both gears games were all but proven to be overtracked and this all but proven to be undertracked but they couldn't be bothered to adjust the sales. |
 | VivaLaWiida (on 21 February 2009) I suck at playing online. |
 | Artur (on 21 February 2009) Got this game for a while but only now when I started playing it further I realised what a masterpice it is! |
| tedsteriscool (on 21 February 2009) The amount this game is under tracked disgusts me. Haven't they shipped like 4.5 million? I don't think there are THAT many copies sitting on shelves (620k, you've got to be kidding me)! |
| Drage (on 21 February 2009) One of the best games ever made. |
| Gamer4eva (on 20 February 2009) Update Japan to 700k please!!!!!! People are giving proof that VGCHARTZ is off by 30-40k and that was at the end of 2008. UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE !!!!!!!! LOL |
| cheese_man (on 20 February 2009) GAME GOES PLATINUM MARCH 5 IN EUROPE AND OTHERS!!! HERE WE COME 5 MILLION. Platinum = half price. :) Can't wait that's when I will be buying this. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 20 February 2009) 686,254...and that was by the end of the year by now its at 700k easily...cmon update guys |
| Max King of the Wild (on 19 February 2009) omg 20k off in japan wtf. |
 | Khuutra (on 19 February 2009) This was a good game. |
| Munkeh111 (on 19 February 2009) Snake is going to crawl across the 4m mark eventually |
| Thechalkblock (on 19 February 2009) Papazx speaks the truth. |
| el_rika (on 19 February 2009) http://www.edge-online.com/news/japans-top-100-sellers-revealed - official MGS4 Japan numbers. |
| Papazx (on 18 February 2009) This is just to inform some people this game is enough alone to buy a ps3 and thats not including all the greats coming out this year |
| haxxiy (on 18 February 2009) 5 million lifetime |
| el_rika (on 18 February 2009) This should be the 2nd best selling PS3 game in a couple of months. |
| Kyuu (on 16 February 2009) oops! my bad >_> lol |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 15 February 2009) my good where at 2010 now? 0_0 ........j/k =p |
| Kyuu (on 15 February 2009) Before a week or two, I read in Gamespot that Konami announced MGS4 hit 4.5 million copies by the end of 2009 ... VGChartz can't calculate everything. |
| hunter_alien (on 15 February 2009) Wow... my god, I could bet that Snake Eater only managed 4 million and PO only did ~ 1.2... but I could be wrong :P |
| black7xxx7 (on 15 February 2009) this is game is sorta not sellin so well compare to previous mgs games who have all sold 5 million. hopefully it come to the 360 probably the only game worth buying a ps3 but still that game alone still not worth it to buy a ps3 hopefully it does come to the 360 since im sure it has many fans on the 360 |
| blazinhead89 (on 14 February 2009) To 4 Million ! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 14 February 2009) idree what the real number for japan by mediacreate numbers? |
| Idree (on 13 February 2009) @OkeyDokey 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. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 12 February 2009) Kinda weird that they'd announce a Platinum version when there's still 700k copies sitting on shelves unsold... |
| Zuhyc (on 10 February 2009) So close to 4 million! You can do it! |
| Thechalkblock (on 10 February 2009) I bet Brett avoids going on this page. |
| machoking (on 09 February 2009) that game have more than 4.5m |
 | Xen (on 09 February 2009) For the MILLIONTH time... Konami numbers are SHIPPED TO RETAIL! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 February 2009) adjusted in japan by 1K but its officially is at .68 since the start of the year |
| SchumiF1 (on 07 February 2009) VG Chartz staff, now listen up! You can now easily bump it up to 4 million, especially if you add the official Japanese numbers! And Konami reporting 4.5 MILLION sold! Lets party! |
 | metalgearmatt (on 05 February 2009) its above 4.5 now |
| machoking (on 05 February 2009) this game sold more than 4.5mi I see that on mersitation ana the news said that konami reports 4.5 mi and that news is of one month ago |
| el_rika (on 04 February 2009) I also think VGchartz should adjust the Japan (+20k) data seeing how it is official coming from Famitsu & Media Crate. |
| Gamer4eva (on 04 February 2009) Adjust up on Japan by 20 -30 k please !!! |
| Aldro (on 04 February 2009) This has got to be 4 Mil already >. |
| jmcraddock (on 03 February 2009) im definently getting this game. I think I'll get the MGS,MGS2 and MGS3 games before though, since there bundeled together for oonly 29.99. This game could go for Greatest Hits, but it would take probally 2-3 years, knowing how its the most popularist ps3 exclusive |
| Solid_Raiden (on 03 February 2009) Come on 4 million! You can do it Snake! :) |
| Marco (on 03 February 2009) Eurogamer said MGS4 had sold 4.33 million copies by November 7!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 02 February 2009) no bundles in USA were counted as of now its just undertracked by 20K in Japan thats all |
| el_rika (on 02 February 2009) Yes, this game is undertracked in Japan by 20k and the HW bundles in USA are not counted (they must be somewhere around 30 - 50k). |
| darthdevidem01 (on 02 February 2009) UNDERTRACKED in Japan by 20K PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots 686.254 above are LTD figures from Media-Crete |
| Marco (on 01 February 2009) buy this game,people. this is the best game in the historie with final fantasy 7 |
| snyperdud (on 31 January 2009) yeah,when this is a "greatest Hit" title expect sales to pick up a bunch. |
 | Rainbird (on 30 January 2009) @ Cowboys4u86 This is in the current release state of the game. You can bet your ass that we will see MGS4 as a platinum game at some point, which should give it a nice little boost. Just see what happened to Ratchet & Clank in others after it got platinum'ed. |
| Cowboys4u86 (on 29 January 2009) It's tarting to edge closer to 4 million, that's probably about where it will stop. Which is a good amount considering the install base. |
 | MontanaHatchet (on 29 January 2009) I can't delete all these stupid comments, so I'll just go out and say it. IT'S NOT OVER 4 MILLION, YOU'RE QUOTING SHIPPED NUMBERS!!! |
| shenmue19 (on 29 January 2009) Eurogamer said MGS4 had sold 4.33 million copies by November 7. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/mgs4-sells-over-4-million-copies so yea this game is undertracked. |
 | SpartanFX (on 29 January 2009) here we come 4 million ( i m sure it ahs already passed this number) |
| Lil_D420 (on 28 January 2009) love this game a MUST have if u got PS3 & 1080p like ME!! |
| vic_viper (on 28 January 2009) Best game that I've played this generation thus far. |
| vic_viper (on 28 January 2009) Best game that I've played this generation thus far. |
| snyperdud (on 27 January 2009) Best Game this gen. |
 | Signalstar (on 27 January 2009) It outsold Motorstorm to become the number 1 PS3 exclusive. |
| Zkuq (on 27 January 2009) Hey, it's finally the best-selling exclusive on the PS3 =) |
| cheese_man (on 26 January 2009) VG chartz has undertracked this :( Great game though |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 26 January 2009) man this game is dying out |
| Gamer4eva (on 25 January 2009) This is past 4 Million. There is no fucking way it cant be. VGCHARTZ 360 FANBOYS CONFIRMED!! :) |
| Kyuu (on 24 January 2009) This isn't quite right! its already sold more than 4.3 millions worldwide! |
| headshot91 (on 24 January 2009) this dropped off quite quickly sales wise in all territories |
| Marco (on 24 January 2009) In Japan = 0, 80 SALES !!! On the world: 4,2 million vgchartz,please updaten |
 | Vesihiihtaja (on 23 January 2009) Great game. I also think that it's undertracked... |
| Aldro (on 23 January 2009) Its probably reached 4 m already |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 23 January 2009) (and trophies) |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 23 January 2009) This needs platinum re-release NAO! |
 | gundamx (on 23 January 2009) once ps3 consumer base expands soo will the sales of this game:) well done. it will overtake motorstorm soon in sales |
| el_rika (on 22 January 2009) 4.6 - 4.8 mil is the highest the game will go life time in my opinion. |
| Haree (on 22 January 2009) 7 million at end of 2009 for sure |
 | Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 22 January 2009) This seems undertracked some how. |
| Aj_habfan (on 21 January 2009) Well, we don't know how many bundles there are or how well it sold outside of America. So I don't really know what to say about that. |
 | Ismailxp (on 21 January 2009) Sold 1,076 million alone in america without the bundles.(according to NPD) |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 21 January 2009) vcharts should fix up japan |
| el_rika (on 21 January 2009) Slightly undertracked in Japan, seeing as Famitsu (in their latest Top100 article) has it at 686,254. |
| raygorax (on 21 January 2009) Best game this gen, just fewer cutscenes next time Mr. Kojima, or whoever is set to direct the next one. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 19 January 2009) mmm if this game continues to sell 20k a week then it will reach 4million by march |
| Skeeuk (on 18 January 2009) @Thechalkblock they deffo will do its a cash cow for konami and kojima. re releasing with a substance label will sell again with huge opening weeks. lots of bonus content re arranged levels, and mabey the entire mgs1 game added on bluray, the possiblities are endless and im sure they will re release soon. |
 | kunaixhaku (on 18 January 2009) this game can do 5 million lifetime |
| Snake612 (on 17 January 2009) This game is only 200k away from hitting 4 million. |
| Gamer4eva (on 17 January 2009) Best Game Ever Made. Also, this is under-tracked. I think Konami said they have shipped over 4.5 Million coppies of MGS4. There cannot be more than 700k sitting on shelves. |
| el_rika (on 17 January 2009) @ Thechalkblock there is always room for improvement. A painting is never finished, just abandoned. Even an artistic achievement like MGS4 can be improved in some ways. |
| Thechalkblock (on 16 January 2009) @Skeeuk I don't know if they will re-release this MGS like they did the others. I mean, what is there to improve on? |
| Skeeuk (on 16 January 2009) they will obviuously release an update like previous mgs games eg, mgs4 substance. then on top of that they could make it on platinum range so overall a successfull game imo |
 | luistomas8782 (on 16 January 2009) yeah thophys would be great |
 | Loud_Hot_White_Box (on 15 January 2009) @Metal Gear: Assassin's Creed is much more often in the bargain bin pricing range ($29.99), while MGS4 isn't priced that cheaply yet. All the cheapo sales are still to come. |
| superbeast1370 (on 15 January 2009) this game is undertracked. |
 | Samer305 (on 15 January 2009) We all know this game has sold over 4 million for sure now. Fix It! |
| SpartanFX (on 14 January 2009) awesome game,,,,trophy patch plz |
| MetalGearSolid_4ever (on 14 January 2009) @Raiden I'm worried that assassins creed outsold this game for quite a few weeks recently. That game is almost 30 weeks older ! |
| Kantor (on 14 January 2009) Is it just me or did this game get 0 sales when the Others and NA numbers for 3rd Jan came in? WTF? |
| Bullet100000 (on 14 January 2009) I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! |
| Solid_Raiden (on 13 January 2009) 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. |
| Heavenly_King (on 13 January 2009) I think it will eventually sell 4.5M. |
| MetalGearSolid_4ever (on 13 January 2009) @ 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. |
 | naruto3336 (on 12 January 2009) EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS GAME AND A WII MUST BUY NO MORE HEROES!!! |
| naruto3336 (on 12 January 2009) EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS GAME AND A WII MUST BUY NO MORE HEROES!!! |
| naruto3336 (on 12 January 2009) EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS GAME AND A WII MUST BUY NO MORE HEROES!!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 January 2009) 5 million LTD when it hits GH |
| Solid_Raiden (on 12 January 2009) Snake 612, are you serious? It's going to hit 4 million how much faster then Snake Eater. Hell, snake eater didn't even hit 4 million until Guns released. It was stuck at 3.99 forever. This game I would say is well on it's way to a LTD of 4.5 or so. |
| Snake612 (on 10 January 2009) the game sales of recent are really sad. You think it would hit 4 million by now. |
 | kitty (on 10 January 2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAkrjpWRqww&feature=related this bit of music in the ending credits still makes m cry especially the last 1.5 minutes |
| Xen (on 10 January 2009) 4 million... come on, come on! |
| ViceKingz (on 09 January 2009) passing motorstorm in 5...4....3.....2.....1... |
 | Simulacrum (on 09 January 2009) Konami says its 4,4m now..Not bad. |
 | ceaser92 (on 08 January 2009) BEST GAME EVER |
| oliminator1994 (on 08 January 2009) I need this to get trophies :D |
| SpartanFX (on 08 January 2009) 4 mil pretty soon |
| luistomas8782 (on 08 January 2009) 3.78 in 7 months, that's a really good score |
| MontanaHatchet (on 08 January 2009) Should be passing up Motorstorm soon, and 4 million soon after that. Nice job Konami. |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 07 January 2009) Come on 4 million! |
| KroNfs (on 07 January 2009) The best game I have ever played, maybe. I m not sony fun boy I like games in general I m realist. I like gears of war I like halo (not very much :< ) but this.. this is the bestest. |
 | elvisbin (on 07 January 2009) there's no way this have been sold 3.8m with nearly 1m sitting on shelves, if we assumed it has been shipped 4.5+m. It must've sold at least 4m. |
 | Deviation59 (on 07 January 2009) Ithink it's up about 70k from a week or two ago. I don't know if that really qualifies. |
 | Stats87 (on 06 January 2009) was this adjusted up? It seems so... |
 | Barozi (on 06 January 2009) already ordered. Getting it soon... |
| gundamx (on 05 January 2009) trophy patch this game!!!! come on 4million:) a must have for any ps3 owner |
| Zkuq (on 05 January 2009) I, too, have been delaying by Big Boss run just for the trophy patch... The last we've heard of it was Kojima not commenting on it, meaning they won't deny it at least, which gives us some hope. I'm just about ready to give up hope now, though. |
| drakesfortune (on 05 January 2009) Agreed, trophies please! I've been putting off my second play through in the hopes they'll do a trophy patch. Damnit, this sold enough to warrant a patch, it would add so much to the game. |
| tedsteriscool (on 04 January 2009) 4.5 million shipped, actually |
 | Goodfella (on 04 January 2009) Kojima please patch this game with trophies!! |
| Zkuq (on 04 January 2009) Looks like MGS4 is well on its way to becoming the best-selling PS3 exclusive so far... Not going to take long anymore. |
| godemperor (on 04 January 2009) thats 4 million shipped |
| elvisbin (on 03 January 2009) It's already reached 4m, VG undertracked it. |
| metalgearmatt (on 03 January 2009) heading to 4 million? will outsell Metal Gear Solid 3! |
| blazinhead89 (on 03 January 2009) Mrstickball said " It looks like MGS4 will be Fortunate to hit 3 Million" , |
| Papazx (on 01 January 2009) Still the best story based game ever to exist |
| Machina (on 01 January 2009) Value is value for money, lasting appeal, and how much play time you get out of it for the money, all rolled into one. |
| tedsteriscool (on 01 January 2009) I think it means replay value (how long you can play the game online, etc before it wears on you) |
| leo-j (on 01 January 2009) What does value mean in its overall score? |
 | BroFe (on 29 December 2008) Excellent game, but not as good as good as Snake Eater IMO |
| gundamx (on 28 December 2008) this game should be at 10million:P if u have a ps3 go out and buy this game. its one of the best games iv eva playd:) |
| Snake612 (on 28 December 2008) It will definitely hit 4 million. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 28 December 2008) im too wondering this damstr8... is vgcharts including bundles our not? if so then its undertracked |
 | Damstr8 (on 28 December 2008) the 4 million has included bundles? vgchartz doesnt track bundles? |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 28 December 2008) It shouldn't be long until this game makes the 4 million mark, and when it becomes a Greatest hit/Platinum range then sales should skyrocket! |
| Seraphic_Sixaxis (on 28 December 2008) Weird... VGChartz is under-tracking MGS4, its gone slightly pass 4.2 Mill by now. :/ |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 28 December 2008) leo its actually selling 40k a week an by the end of 2008 it will have 3.80 so 4 million is very likely |
| SpartanFX (on 27 December 2008) i want trophy patch for this game |
| Frankenstein (on 27 December 2008) Got the game for Christmas. :D |
| luisgvm (on 27 December 2008) this game looks epic by the trailers. |
| Egghead (on 27 December 2008) GeoW 1 is beating this despite having a smaller userbase and NO Japan |
| erodrig85 (on 27 December 2008) AWESOME GAME AND SERIES GOTY 2008 BY GAMESPOT INCREDIBLE VISUALS AND VOICE ACTING |
| leo-j (on 27 December 2008) its selling 20k a week, I really doubt it will hit 4 million.. |
| Heavenly_King (on 26 December 2008) BEST GAME OF THE YEAR!!! (on gamespot). The LBP pack ROCKS!!! GO SNAKE!!! REACH 4M!!! |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 26 December 2008) Bring on 4 million for this game, it more than deserves it! Going to have to pick this up sometime soon as not had the time as of late. |
| Damstr8 (on 26 December 2008) 4 million in a few months. |
| drakesfortune (on 26 December 2008) 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. |
| leo-j (on 26 December 2008) IGN, and gamespot gave best graphics to MGS4 as well, GT gave it to GTA IV(yea i know..) |
 | dhummel (on 26 December 2008) yeah, spikeTV is sure THE authority on video games and technical matters. Give me a break. |
| FPSrules (on 24 December 2008) @TypePhoild_pl wanna know why people say gears 2 looks better than MGS4, its cause their 360 fanboys who can't admit something on PS3 has a edge over something on 360 Spike TV best graphics award went to MGS4, enough said |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 24 December 2008) Having my second play through. Don't understand how people can claim Gears 2 looks as good as this lol. While great this is stunningly detailed. |
| SpartanFX (on 24 December 2008) one of the best games I have ever played,,,,music,story,graphics,gameplay every thing is top notch |
| Goodfella (on 24 December 2008) Modern classic. 10/10 |
 | jacezo (on 23 December 2008) I love this game, beat it 3 times going on four. Maybe the LBP DLC will help it out. |
| Solid_Raiden (on 23 December 2008) leo-j, It's also $49.99 at Gamestop and it's $39.99 at Blockbuster. |
| leo-j (on 23 December 2008) It should sell better next week, its $49.99 in best buy |
| Globox (on 23 December 2008) "Shadow Soldier Because this site is not correct on any numbers other that Japanese, which they take from Famitsu |
| SpartanFX (on 23 December 2008) @oliminator use your brain. used game does not contribute to the new sales of the game. ;) |
| oliminator1994 (on 22 December 2008) Ive seen this game used for £10 why are the sales not sky rocketing? |
| Penholder (on 21 December 2008) 5 mil lifetime? |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 21 December 2008) this game will surprass motorstrom and became the best selling exclusive on ps3 =D |
| Damstr8 (on 21 December 2008) 3.7 next week. |
 | StarcraftManiac (on 21 December 2008) Finished it two times! Still wanna replay this gem! |
| Heavenly_King (on 21 December 2008) BUY THIS GAME DAMNIT!!!! |
| gundamx (on 21 December 2008) if u have a ps3 u really should buy this game. its epic:) |
| ShadowSoldier (on 20 December 2008) The game has already been reported to have passed the 4.65 Million mark by Konami and Sony why hasnt this been fixed??? |
 | Million (on 20 December 2008) u83 |
 | Finnbar (on 20 December 2008) Finally got this game, woo cant wait to try it out. |
| Marco (on 19 December 2008) best playstation 3-game |
| SchumiF1 (on 19 December 2008) 3.63 million? You've got to be kidding me. |
| Solid_Raiden (on 18 December 2008) Okey, I wonder the same thing often. I'm sure there is an explanation for it. VG and NPD both say about the same thing though I think. |
 | skeezer (on 17 December 2008) Sales going up :-) |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 17 December 2008) 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? :/ |
 | Dodes (on 16 December 2008) really disappointed sales this game deserves at lease 10 millions lifetime predicting it very close to 5 millin by now corresponding to konami's last report |
| palitococo (on 16 December 2008) 5 o 6 million LTD. |
| Thechalkblock (on 16 December 2008) I'm surprised this game didn't win best game on PS3. But maybe LittleBigPlanet will sell more, so it's all good. |
| Marco (on 15 December 2008) best graphic,best sound,best story - best game on this gen |
 | DMeisterJ (on 15 December 2008) It's gonna crack 4 million, easily. |
| Yakuzaice (on 14 December 2008) @geddesmond They specifically said that MGS4 had shipped over 4 million units. |
| blazinhead89 (on 14 December 2008) Will overtake MGs3 soon :-) |
| leo-j (on 14 December 2008) I think its going to hit 4 million soon.. |
| el_rika (on 14 December 2008) @ metalgearmatt - are you comparing the lifetime sales of the past MGS games with the first 6 months sales of MGS4 ? Let's have this conversation again same time next year shall we ? |
| metalgearmatt (on 13 December 2008) its funny how each entry in the franchise is lower than the last. |
 | kutasek (on 13 December 2008) ok oops my mistake |
| MetalGearSolid_4ever (on 13 December 2008) Can this break 5 million ? |
| BigBossisaBadass (on 13 December 2008) I think the pspimp guy is just trying to show your mistake kutasek. hes saying it should be 60k not 60000k |
| geddesmond2 (on 13 December 2008) it wasnt over 4 mil this game sold when konami announced the sales for the year because they were talking about the metal gear series in whole |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 13 December 2008) mgs4 might just be 3.80-3.85 by the end of the year =) |
| Xen (on 12 December 2008) 60k in a week. Nice! |
| kutasek (on 12 December 2008) That's right 60 million, there's more copies of this games bought than the console itself. |
 | CrazzyMan (on 12 December 2008) This game will sell 7-10 mln. LTD no matter what. MGS4 is a Game of the GEN. =) |
| jerseyboy609 (on 12 December 2008) I love this game |
| PSPIMP3000 (on 12 December 2008) @ kutasek OMG 60000k?? 60000 *1000=60000000 it was increased by 60million?????? So sales were minus 57 million before??? |
| Damstr8 (on 11 December 2008) 60k is alot i guess...i figured maybe a little more however. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 11 December 2008) adjusted up =) see people it was undertracked |
| kutasek (on 11 December 2008) The sales of this game jumped by 60,000k. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 10 December 2008) i guess so gearbox |
| Gearbox (on 09 December 2008) life time uhm 5 mil? |
| Aldro (on 09 December 2008) Srsly put a freaking 4 mil atleast and let it have a 0.5 mil shipped. U CANT HAVE A 1 mil ship i mean that doesnt make alot of sence no?.. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 09 December 2008) its surpassed MGS3 in NA YAY! |
| Marco (on 09 December 2008) Number 1 Ps3-Game in japan =) |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 09 December 2008) Not undertracked. Maybe a little, as that's always a possibility, but it's nowhere near 4.5m sold. Fallout 3 has shipped 4.7 million, and it's sold even less than this game... |
| Solid_Raiden (on 08 December 2008) I highly doubt it's undertracked as much as I wish it were. I don't know about you guys but every where I go I always see stacks of this game. It's depressing because it deserves to sell so much more. The walmart closest to me never even sold out of it's initial stock I don't think. :( There is a high possiblity of there being 1 million on shelves and even if there isn't the game still wouldn't be at 4 million sold yet. |
| deathgod33 (on 08 December 2008) yeh i think its undertracked, should be well on its way to 5 million by now. |
| FPSrules (on 07 December 2008) Undertracked a bit don't you think?. i think you mean higly undertracked, there is no way half of the million konami shipped of MG isnt sold yet i have friends that brought the game and they don't even have a PS3. just got it until they get a ps3 |
| SchumiF1 (on 07 December 2008) C'mon VG Chartz, if you're going to provide numbers, at least try doing it right. When the game has shipped 4.5 million, it hasn't sold a million less... |
| CrazzyMan (on 07 December 2008) GOOD, game is on track to [b]5 mln.[/b] by the end of 2009. =)[quote]CrazzyMan posted [b]25/10/2008,[/b] This game will sell over 5 mln. for sure, and probably will reach 7 mln. LTD before PS4 release. =) MGS4 FTW![/quote] |
| Marco (on 07 December 2008) 4 Million - sales...now! This say konami |
 | L1L_D420 (on 06 December 2008) this games is down im guessing another 500k after christmas |
| Solid_Raiden (on 06 December 2008) American sales are already the same number as Snake Eater's Lifetime in America. :) |
| leo-j (on 06 December 2008) 4.20M according to Konami back in Septermber, btw.. its selling around 30k a week WW, should break 4 million vgchartz numbers in a couple of months. |
 | Gabriel84 (on 06 December 2008) only 3.55 m not too successful then |
 | s-grandi93 (on 06 December 2008) those images give this game no justice to how awsum it looks... game of the year! |
| s-grandi93 (on 06 December 2008) jeeze raiden was so mad in this game |
| Dgc1808 (on 05 December 2008) Undertracked a bit don't you think? |
| malekelnasr000000001 (on 05 December 2008) come on vg charts this game is under tracked it sold more than 4 million. |
| mikemill (on 05 December 2008) Konami reports this game has sold over 4 million... vgchartz must not be including bundle sales... one of the best games I've ever played. |
| metalgearmatt (on 04 December 2008) life time sales: 8 million! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 04 December 2008) i havent notice that solid_raiden |
| Damstr8 (on 03 December 2008) classic game,GOTY |
| indodude (on 03 December 2008) Is it my computer or does that say 0.66 M total sales? |
| Solid_Raiden (on 03 December 2008) Maybe it's just my blockbuster but I've noticed for the past couple of months that they have been selling this game at $39.99 new which is lower then anywhere else in my area. |
 | BARBARIAN-RETURNZ (on 03 December 2008) Game of the year..hands down. Best graphics ever.....sick |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 03 December 2008) wow it sold 20k in EU.. nice!! |
 | rdp (on 03 December 2008) I think it will pass 4million in 2009 |
| kunaixhaku (on 03 December 2008) this games next boost will come as a greatest hit title.....sony should find a way to bring this title back to the sales charts, it has potential, maybe another suprise limited edition bundle would be nice lol |
| jerseyboy609 (on 03 December 2008) I am definitely going to play this again over the christmas break!! |
| Aldro (on 02 December 2008) You cant compare them becuse MGS4 is in its Masterful league. JUST GO SEE IGN XD! Srsly this game is the best :||! |
 | jonnhytesta (on 02 December 2008) General_Ram- YOU CANT COMPARE METAL GEAR TO GOW OR HALO. those are aim and shoot games you dont need to have a brain to play them or play a tutorial. gears great game by the way no fanboy |
 | Jo21 (on 02 December 2008) couldn't they pick better screens.? those got a green hue in it and the game looks way better than that. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 01 December 2008) mmm i think it will reach 3.70-3.75 with the holydays |
| el_rika (on 30 November 2008) The majority of a game's lifetime sells are made in aproximately 1 year from it's release. MGS4 has been out for half that plus it has yet to see the holydays. MGS4 has a real chance for 5 mil. life time which is amazing for such a hardcore game nowadays. |
| Ismailxp (on 30 November 2008) Don't worry.. it WILL reach at least 4 mil. With the holidays, this will have good legs and after this would be greatest hits/platinum, it will sell huge.. |
| Aldro (on 30 November 2008) God damnit make it 4 MIL ATLEAST >_ |
| charbelelnasr2000001 (on 29 November 2008) come on this game sold more than 4.33 million worldwide, it's just being under tracked. |
| Marco (on 29 November 2008) 4 Million!!! = Sales Ps: best game in the historie |
| -General_Ram- (on 28 November 2008) Comparing this to Gears, Gears 2, and Halo 3.......u cant help but be disapointed with this games sales. |
| Heavenly_King (on 28 November 2008) FPSrules posted 26/11/2008, 07:22 konami reported recently(just this month) a $80 million profit gain mostly due to MGS4. now wats this i hear 3rd party developers can't afford to make exclusives _________________________ That is because most of the time developers make mediocre games; so in order to have more profit they need to make it multiplatform. MGS is a completely different story because this game is a MASTERPIECE. |
| Heavenly_King (on 28 November 2008) COME PEOPLE BUY THIS GAME. THIS GAME IS PURE EPIC AWESOMENESS. THIS GAME MUST AT LEAST REACH 4M!!!! I can´t comprehend why not even the 30% of the PS3 users do not own this game. Hopefully with the demo on the PS Store, sales will be higher. |
| metalgearmatt (on 27 November 2008) hasn't this already passed 4 million? |
 | iron_megalith (on 27 November 2008) EPICNESS! |
| FPSrules (on 26 November 2008) konami reported recently(just this month) a $80 million profit gain mostly due to MGS4. now wats this i hear 3rd party developers can't afford to make exclusives |
 | Kaos24 (on 25 November 2008) Probably my favorite game that i've played so far. I've played most of the big games of the year except Fable 2. IMO MGS4 is alot better then them all. glad to see its still selling decently well after being out since June. |
| kutasek (on 25 November 2008) only .50 until 4 million. |
 | toastboy44562 (on 25 November 2008) sold to retail guys |
| charbelelnasr2000001 (on 24 November 2008) Konami has sold 4.33 million copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 around the world. |
| charbelelnasr2000001 (on 24 November 2008) This game has sold more than 4 million. |
| el_rika (on 24 November 2008) @ Egghead - Gears is a casual game which appeals to a wider audience, while MGS4 is a hardcore game that appeals to a select audience. MGS4 and MGS games in general are among the highest hardcore games sellers on the market though. |
| Nazir (on 24 November 2008) Semper fi |
| outlawauron (on 23 November 2008) We know that this undertracked in Japan by at least 20-30k. So, it's very close to 700k. That may be small numbers in total sales, but with legs, it's huge. |
| Egghead (on 23 November 2008) Impressive, but Gears 1 did better when you consider lack of Japan, lower userbase and no bundle |
| Marco (on 22 November 2008) 4 million!!!!!!!!! NOW...say konami |
| Kantor (on 21 November 2008) WW sales are picking up a little. Over 20k per week now. I think holiday boost can see it cross 4 million. |
| Kantor (on 21 November 2008) Amazing Japan sales. |
| Kantor (on 21 November 2008) @thechalkblock: SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! |
 | ZBlacktt (on 18 November 2008) Easily game of the year regardless of what console you own. I believe every single true gamer out there should play this one from start to finish. I've been a hardcore gamer now 30 years and this one blew me a way. It set the bar for all the other's to match or even try and better it. I've beaten the game and I'm playing it again. You could never get bored of the game as it's so life like and real being in the Snake world. The game live ups to it's overall 10 score. |
| paulatreides25 (on 18 November 2008) it is not going to be displayed here but i think that when ffxiii comes out this games is going to receive a boost in sales. |
| FPSrules (on 17 November 2008) BEST GAME EVER, if this game doesn't get game of the year bya landside the ppl who vote for game of the year should get fired for being fanboy assholes |
| wquach (on 17 November 2008) The game still has good legs :) |
| ninjascroll (on 15 November 2008) I hear another MG in the works. We'll have to see if it stays on PS3 or goes for both platforms next time. Snaaaaaaaake!?!?!? |
| freemanluke08 (on 15 November 2008) solid_raiden, everyone knows it means sold to retailers but common sense would tell you vgchartz only had 3.44 million sold while konami has sold 4.33 and there is no way near 1 million mgs4 games sitting on store shelves in the shops, there would be no more than 300k so it should be atleast at the 4 million mark. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 15 November 2008) no no wait till act 3 ending DMEisteRJ |
 | Voldo (on 13 November 2008) According to Konami's last financial report, MGS4 have 4,43m.... |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 November 2008) lets hope the EU legs continue for a long time |
| Thechalkblock (on 12 November 2008) Snake? |
| DMeisterJ (on 12 November 2008) Almost at the end of Act 2. GOTcentury. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 12 November 2008) SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE! |
| Aldro (on 12 November 2008) put 4mil & have like 0.4 shipped. i find 1 mil ridicoulos |
| Aldro (on 12 November 2008) (LIQIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUJD) XD epic game ! |
| Solid_Raiden (on 12 November 2008) I wish people would have common knowledge before posting on this site. Good God people! There is a difference betweened sold to retailers (which Konami tracks) and sold to consumers (which this site tracks). |
| Marco (on 12 November 2008) WE NEED A UPDATE@vgchartz Konami say: 4 million!!! |
 | foolpittier (on 11 November 2008) it was announced on gamestop that it had passed the 4 million mark. This tracking system is so off. |
| scabab (on 11 November 2008) Went up another 20k |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 11 November 2008) i agree freemanluke08 |
| freemanluke08 (on 11 November 2008) adjusted but still undertracked im sure |
| jerseyboy609 (on 10 November 2008) 700,000 hits!! |
| DMeisterJ (on 10 November 2008) Metal Gear Solid 4 adjusted up! 3.44 million units sold!!!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 10 November 2008) yay adjusted up!!!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 10 November 2008) see i told ya it was undertracked =) |
 | realill (on 10 November 2008) My favorite game this year. |
| snakeftw (on 10 November 2008) all people here loves 360, even the owners of this website, thats the reason they dont follow the corrects numbers, but if you see gow2 numbers you will watch a big diference |
| Aldro (on 09 November 2008) FOr the love of god atleast adjust it to 4.2 |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 09 November 2008) -medilman your right.. i cant wait for that report aswell |
| _mevildan (on 08 November 2008) It will be interesting to see Konami's next MGS4 shipment report. If it has gone up even more, then it is very doubtful there are as many copies sitting on shelves/in warehouses as it appears right now. |
 | Oyvoyvoyv (on 08 November 2008) Correct people. There are no copies of MGS 4 on the shelves of the more than 30.000 video game stores WW. |
| bkff8 (on 08 November 2008) Everyone read this: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6200752.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;4 Yes it is undertracked :( |
 | Snarf Barf (on 07 November 2008) Oh man undertracking the game by close to a Million? Yikes. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 November 2008) guess every mgs is undertracked here =( |
 | nordberg (on 07 November 2008) this game is under tracked 500k minimum. Konami shipped 4.33 million at the end of september plus made at least 300k shipment since september. total shipment 4.63! In the first month maybe it possible to have more than 1 million on store shelves, particularly if the game was a flop, but after 5 month the retailer cannot have this great amount of dead money. |
| Aprisaiden (on 06 November 2008) Total shipped number are around 4.1 million as of september... this meant that their is 810k copies on store shelves. Basically MGS4 is under tracked 200k - 300k here or retailers are expecting good sales this holiday season. |
 | Naum (on 06 November 2008) umm no it isn't impossible for 1 million games to be on shelves |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 06 November 2008) ok somethings wrong here its impossible for 1 million games to be on shelves.... the rentail wouldnt order more...fix this vgcharts |
| SchumiF1 (on 06 November 2008) http://www.psu.com/MGS4-sells-433-million-worldwide-News--a0005294-p0.php Please, VG Chartz! Correct the number! Konam already reported 4.33 MILLION sold! |
| freemanluke08 (on 06 November 2008) ok so konami released a report saying it has sold 4.33 million copies, there is no way 1 million copies left on shelves if the game stopped selling around the 3.33 million mark the game stores would have stopped ordering the game but yet it's sold 4.33 million copies so your just wrong with this one vgchartz fix it |
 | pnmen (on 06 November 2008) I'm not sure we can relly on VG anymore. At last concerning MGS 4. juste check on this news : http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/News-227392.aspx there is a gap between official statement and VG ! |
| outlawauron (on 06 November 2008) @ kantor Well, it sold 11k in Japan in September, but VGC had it at around 3k. Not that big of a deal but that's a large difference in the legs of a game in tiny Japan. |
 | Branko2166 (on 06 November 2008) @Ghost MLD You're just pissed that you can't play it on your X-box360. Considering the ps3 install base, most people are content with the sales. |
| Gearbox (on 05 November 2008) plz fix the numbers. it was at 3.93 million on august 5th according to konami http://www.konami.co.jp/zaimu/0806/english/supplemental.pdf |
 | -Ghost_MLD- (on 05 November 2008) It must sting PS3 fanboys knowing that Gears of War and Halo 3 have outsold this game by millions, especially Halo 3. Imagine the sales if it were 360 exclusive...... |
| Kantor (on 05 November 2008) This game had phenomenal sales to begin with, but they've almost dried up completely. I think Greatest Hits and a re-release (MGS4: Existence?) would do wonders to bolster the sales of what is truly one of the best games ever made. |
| ninjascroll (on 04 November 2008) Snaaaake!!!??!!! (mofos gecko again) This MG was just a complete package epic single player, updated controls, great online you couldn't lose. One of best looking games at the moment. They say they aleady have another one in the works we can only hope. |
| Aldro (on 04 November 2008) Beyond Epicness..... To damn amazing! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 02 November 2008) Months have passes but solid snake's final adventure is still remembered by me! |
| Marco (on 01 November 2008) THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Solid_Raiden (on 01 November 2008) 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. |
 | woot (on 31 October 2008) http://www.yahoo.com |
| jingho (on 31 October 2008) 4 million life time |
 | *bleu-ocelot* (on 31 October 2008) I think a new MGS 4 substance style game will reinvigorate otherwise stagnant sales. I'm sure that game 'll have trophies. |
 | JiaJia (on 30 October 2008) After the holiday season comes and goes I'm sure all you guys will be fairly confident in agreeing with my prediction that this game will sell 5million Lifetime. |
 | gera4390 (on 28 October 2008) A friend of mine told me that kojima said that the trophy patch would be released in december, do anyone knows something about that? |
| _mevildan (on 27 October 2008) Sales rather stagnant of late. I hope it does have a good holiday. There are a lot of other new games coming out now and until the end of the year, and people can be fickle when it comes to "old" games. |
| SpartanFX (on 27 October 2008) I just want a trophy patch |
 | Phoenix_Wiight (on 26 October 2008) 4.5 mil tops, i agree. i hate how the sony fans are all "omg all these games are going to have 10mil+ sales..." |
 | ruibing (on 26 October 2008) @--OkeyDokey-- You have to realize that, like GTA4, this game has not yet been through holiday sales yet. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 26 October 2008) lol, Crazzyman. 7 million? Yeah it'll just need to keep selling at this rate for the next... 5 years. 4.5 at the absolute max. |
 | nexzen (on 26 October 2008) this game will be goty, sony shud've continued their bundles if they wanted any more increased hardware sales. |
| superbeast1370 (on 25 October 2008) MGS4 will be GOTY. |
| Gamer4eva (on 25 October 2008) I predict 4.5-5 Mil LTD. |
| Kingdizzii (on 25 October 2008) This game has the worst legs I have ever seen for a game but I do believe the game will get at least another 200K sales through the holiday season. |
| Marco (on 25 October 2008) Solid Snake is the best hero on the games-world. Game+Blu-Ray/movie-Fans...MGS4 is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 25 October 2008) low sales???? this are actually great sales for a ps3 game |
 | Crystalchild (on 25 October 2008) best game on PS3 so far. Its like a good movie, combined with an very well working kind of gameplay. Story´s epic, and the presentation... ..its a shame that it sells so "low." ..and you have so much game for 60 bucks... played it 20 Hours, and you will play it again :) |
| Solid_Raiden (on 25 October 2008) The greatest game I've ever played! Although the MGS series has been my favorite since I first picked it up a few years back. 4 tops number 3 as my personal favorite. The game is the definition of the word epic. I'd rather 'WATCH' this then play a lot of the crap other people play who talk about it being an 'interactive movie'. |
| CrazzyMan (on 24 October 2008) This game will sell over 5 mln. for sure, and probably will reach 7 mln. LTD before PS4 release. =) MGS4 FTW! |
 | Tuganuno (on 24 October 2008) This is the best example of what the PS3 can do. Btw, only 3.32 millions, however best game ever. |
| ruibing (on 23 October 2008) @PshycoNinja I'm with you as well. Not only are a lot of titles undertracked, we don't even have EU/Others number for some PSP/PS3 titles. Difference between including that region and not is whether we can tell if the game may end up on Greatest Hits list. |
| gera4390 (on 23 October 2008) @psychoninja I don't think 5 millions , maybe 4 million, but I think 3.32 is close to what the game has sold, maybe more. |
| Gamer4eva (on 22 October 2008) 3.32 Mil and not even christmas yet. |
| Aldro (on 22 October 2008) Ive heard this game sold over 4M :/.. oh well GO MGS4! |
| Thechalkblock (on 22 October 2008) This game made me love the Metal Gear series even more. |
 | 321tttrini4everz (on 21 October 2008) @PshycoNinja i fully agree |
| PshycoNinja (on 20 October 2008) Everything PlayStaion on this site is totaly undertracked. they say that the PSP is at 38 mil when at Leipzig Sony said that they sold 41mil. by now PSP is probebly 45mil. and this game probebly has 5 mil sold. vgchartz is undertracking everything. If you guys(vg staff) are reading this get your acts together and start tracking the Sony thing correctly! |
| Marco (on 20 October 2008) THE BEST GAME ON THIS GEN!!! |
| nexzen (on 19 October 2008) in konami sales, the exact one with all the bundles and such, this game may have already passed 4 million |
 | RED53DEVILS (on 18 October 2008) it will definitely hit 5m in xmas |
| darthdevidem01 (on 16 October 2008) @kopstudent 4 million....its definetely gonna beat that |
| Cactus (on 16 October 2008) Great game. Third best in the series IMO. |
 | kopstudent89 (on 16 October 2008) yeah given the small user base its doin extremely well! How much did MGS3 sell?? |
| Aldro (on 15 October 2008) The BEST game i have ever played. I want you all to listen to this: I have never played any Metal gear game. The hype made me go like OH why not! So i got the game. HOLY JESUS MACDONALDS! The game was SO good i CRIED like a puppy. You could see the characters Had so much ''chemistry'' ( YEAH I KNOW ITS A GAME ! ) I enjoyed every moment! the awesome cutscenes! the awesome gameplay! MGO!! So i went to ebay and got MGS1-2-3! Now im currently playing MGS2 when i do that ill pay MGS3 and then ill replay MGS4 for th 10th time ITS THAT GOOD i never get bored!! got all items & guns |
| Marco (on 15 October 2008) 3.30 million,very good for a ps3 game =) |
| Simulacrum (on 14 October 2008) 3.3m. Sales will most likely go to 4m. |
| Thechalkblock (on 14 October 2008) @mamboula Calling this game a "little Konami game" is not a very good way to make friends. |
 | Slavedemonxi (on 14 October 2008) Resistance was good, but saying it's better than MGS4 is blasphemy! |
 | stovo (on 14 October 2008) MGS4 TO RULE THE WORLD!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 13 October 2008) HOW DARE YOU MAMBOULA do not compare that dull mediocre launch shooter to this game. Resistance 2 looks awesome though....atleast it has like 5 new colours....ZOMG! |
 | mamboula (on 13 October 2008) hey okey dokey, resistance is better than this litle konami game |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 13 October 2008) Come on! It's barely outselling Resistance now. What is wrong with people? Resistance sucks noodles. |
| DMeisterJ (on 12 October 2008) Trekking right up to 4 million lifetime, which will be full of win. |
| Snake612 (on 12 October 2008) I predict 5 million lifetime sales |
| Marco (on 12 October 2008) MGS 4 is the number 1 in japan! The sales are very good |
| Kantor (on 11 October 2008) WOW that's a LOT of Japanese sales. It's doing decently, but a Greatest Hits addition would do wonders for the sales, maybe get it up to 4 million. Why are there 12 million PS3 owners who don't have this game? |
| Marco (on 11 October 2008) THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME EVER. |
| Slavedemonxi (on 09 October 2008) This is the only game that made me feel something this gen. |
| el_rika (on 07 October 2008) @ CaptainDJ This game has the longest story in gaming...by far. |
| s-grandi93 (on 06 October 2008) captaindj wth man the story of the game is a great length |
| CaptainDJ (on 06 October 2008) Amazing game, but sadly the story is too short. I should've got it used. :( |
| el_rika (on 06 October 2008) The game hasn't seen a hollyday. Let's judge its sales in January guys. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 05 October 2008) its been selling 20k a week i think there good legs not big but legs |
| Zuhyc (on 05 October 2008) @ leo-j: Probably, I'm still guessing MGS 4: Existance will be multiplatform. |
| leo-j (on 05 October 2008) Im seeing a 360 release...these legs are dead |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 04 October 2008) Well, it sold less than American Idol Encore on Wii last week, despite releasing 8 months later. It won't do much better than MGS3 at this rate. |
| JiaJia (on 04 October 2008) Lets hope it gets an awesome holiday boost. 4.5 million LTD |
| oliminator1994 (on 04 October 2008) this deserves to bethe best selling PS3 game. |
| Aprisaiden (on 03 October 2008) It will be interesting to see Konima's shipment figures for July 1st to 31st September. Either way Konima has sold well over 4 million copies to retail -- possibly over 5 million by now. |
| Marco (on 03 October 2008) The best game ever it's awesome - i love it |
| ninjascroll (on 30 September 2008) a reason i brough a ps3 its looks better then a damn final fantasy big budget movie and way longer to boot. |
| leo-j (on 30 September 2008) I pulled it out of my a$$ no im serious |
| Aj_habfan (on 30 September 2008) Where did you pull that 3 million number from? This game is probably the highest stocked game on PS3 out there right now. |
| leo-j (on 29 September 2008) Konami has shipped 4 million in july 1st its October, you expect there to be 3 million copies on store shelves.. I dont think so |
 | Rei (on 29 September 2008) @palitococo VG is not wrong, Konami has shipped 4m. "Shipped" is different from "sold". |
| Thechalkblock (on 29 September 2008) Why is there so much controversy over how many of these were sold? |
| palitococo (on 29 September 2008) Vg is wrong, Konami says they sold 4 millions. |
| toastboy44562 (on 29 September 2008) This thing is dying down... |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 28 September 2008) noo!!! mgs4 is dying in america, europe will help it reached 4million (hopefully) |
| Million (on 28 September 2008) Played 15 mins of this , I must have the whole thing !!!!. |
| Crystalchild (on 27 September 2008) i think it´l be 4-4.5 m in lifetime, with a bug bump when its a platinum game. |
| ssnake87 (on 26 September 2008) Pretty sure it will surpass COD4 and Motorstorm. btw I cant believe MGS4 was adjusted down. bs |
| MANUELF (on 26 September 2008) Fourth best selling PS3 game under GTAIV, CoD4 and Motorstorm. |
| palitococo (on 25 September 2008) Game of the year....?sure!!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 25 September 2008) story ok??? are u crazy 0_o |
| Gearbox (on 24 September 2008) ok game. graphics amazing story ok... i like resistance better. |
| Skeeuk (on 24 September 2008) act 4 is amazing, |
| danielhiru (on 22 September 2008) 692,140 Hits... any other game has more than this? or is even close? lol |
 | Jason77 (on 22 September 2008) Keep going MGS |
| Thechalkblock (on 22 September 2008) This is an outstanding game. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 21 September 2008) Nuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! D: |
| luistomas8782 (on 21 September 2008) and once again a ps3 game is adjusted down. this is turning hillarious |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 21 September 2008) it was adjusted down =( |
| darthdevidem01 (on 21 September 2008) brilliant legs |
| Munkeh111 (on 21 September 2008) @ slipknot, great one!!!!!! Anyway, this game is showing great legs especially as it is not being bundled anywhere at all!!! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 20 September 2008) @slipknot your statement has embarassed you....no-one else |
| el_rika (on 20 September 2008) @slipknot0129 In Forza's case you are right, in MGS4's case you are not as the HW bundles are around 300k world wide and are not counted by NPD. |
| slipknot0129 (on 19 September 2008) if it wasnt bundled with hardware then it wouldnt sell even a million. thats how forza 2 sold like 4 million copies. |
 | jankazimierz (on 18 September 2008) This games sales are "Solid". |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 17 September 2008) should be 3.30 with american numbers |
| leo-j (on 17 September 2008) @Aj Should be over 5 million, its been like what? 3 months since they released that statement? |
| Aprisaiden (on 17 September 2008) 750k to break 4 million. If it keep above the 50k per week mark it'll break 4 million in 15 weeks... which is the end of the year / beginning of next year. |
| Aj_habfan (on 17 September 2008) *Yawn* That's shipped not sold to customers, that argrument is boring now, go do your homework on these issues. |
 | forevercloud3000 (on 16 September 2008) VGCHARTZ UPDATE THIS ALREADY!!! KONAMI HAS MADE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ON THEM REACHING THE 4 MILLION MARK ALREADY! THE MGS4 BUNDLES ARE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE! Gosh, sometimes I find this site to be a bit selective with it's facts. |
| Simulacrum (on 16 September 2008) Why is this most Popular at all time but sales are not so HUUGEE? |
| darthdevidem01 (on 16 September 2008) lol |
| Million (on 16 September 2008) it's official Starcraft is questioning wether this game flopped or not so it must be a flop. |
| Zuhyc (on 16 September 2008) bkff8: Bundles in America are responsible for quite a part in the sales. |
 | GetALife (on 16 September 2008) this game rules, i keep puttin the online on aswell, but i hate teh updates |
| Skeeuk (on 16 September 2008) 4million deffo |
| bkff8 (on 16 September 2008) I thought Europe would outsell America... Christmas, counting on you |
| Damstr8 (on 15 September 2008) it still sold 50k this week.it might rise again |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 15 September 2008) nooooooooo its slowing down =( |
| Gearbox (on 15 September 2008) omg bundles are included people stop saying they arent. unless montana lied to me.. |
| luistomas8782 (on 15 September 2008) that's my kind of game |
| Jo21 (on 15 September 2008) for metal gear solid 4 it doenst for wii sports yes. |
 | mario (on 14 September 2008) |
| Damstr8 (on 14 September 2008) i love this game,needs to sell at least 4 million by christmas |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 September 2008) im confused now is vgcharts traking bundles or not? |
| SchumiF1 (on 11 September 2008) VG Chartz does NOT count bundles! At least when it comes to MGS4... There are at least half a million bundles there that could be added to the total number of sold MGS4 copies. |
| Simulacrum (on 11 September 2008) I hated bosses..Come on,Raven,Mantis,Wolf,Liquid,Ocelot...Those we best of best.They had story, they had reason to go against Snake.. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 11 September 2008) @ outlaw I think you mean Raging Raven :P Or Screaming Mantis... I'll go with Mantis, cuz Raven sucked. Mantis was pretty awesome, but I was a bit dissapointed... I expected her to be the hottest of the four :P |
| makingmusic476 (on 11 September 2008) Best game of the year! ...until LBP. :P |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 11 September 2008) i actually liked the eva scene in act 3 (clear out some questions) |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 11 September 2008) Act 3 and 4 were so much win. Except when Big Mama wouldn't close her stupid mouth... and jacket. Starting act 5 soon :) |
| outlawauron (on 11 September 2008) @ Okey I think so. I loved the crying wolf and screaming raven boss battles. As well as the last boss. Good stuff. Every thing is great! Keep playing! |
| Aprisaiden (on 10 September 2008) VGchartz DOES include bundles in its sales - this is why VGchartz and Konima's sales figures are above NPD's. The only games which bundles sales shouldn't count is games like WiiSports were its not a timed bundle but rather a permanent one (well its been going for 2 years at least) |
| Simulacrum (on 10 September 2008) It is selling very nice.I think, at 5m it stops being in top 50. |
| s-grandi93 (on 09 September 2008) wow i wish they had a seperate page showing the bundle sales because obviously people who got the bundle, got it because they wanted mgs4 |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 09 September 2008) wow since its bundle in all territories then we can asume it has atleast 500k extra in there |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 09 September 2008) Wait. so it sold 70k in its 12th week without counting bundles? O_o And I just beat Laughing Octopus... WOWWOWOWOW Does it really get better than that later on? :O |
| el_rika (on 09 September 2008) yes, HW bundles for MGS4 aren't counted by NPD hence aren't counted by VGchartz. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 08 September 2008) cowboy are u sure about that? |
| el_rika (on 08 September 2008) @darthdevidem01 ...how could i forget GT5 ?!? Yes man, you are right, GT5 is will be untouchable this gen. |
 | Strategyking92 (on 08 September 2008) bundled success :P |
| Cowboys4u86 (on 08 September 2008) 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. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 08 September 2008) @el rika as much as I love MGS4.... GT 5 will probably pass MGS4's total within a few weeks of its release itself... |
| el_rika (on 08 September 2008) It just doesn't wanna stay down @_@ I think MGS4 will be the best selling exclusive PS3 game of this gen. |
| Aprisaiden (on 08 September 2008) 800k untill it breaks that 4 mill barrier. Come on MGS4 !! |
| s-grandi93 (on 08 September 2008) best game ive ever, ever played |
 | Retrasado (on 07 September 2008) @ssnake if you can find me a MGS4 bundle in ANY store, I MIGHT believe you. If so or not, you are crazy. It's a great game. that's why it sells. |
| ssnake87 (on 07 September 2008) the only reason it has such impressive legs in America is cause of the bundle. For the whole month of Augest the only PS3 available, for the most part, was the 80gb MGS4 bundle. Thats not to sale MGS4 hasn't sold amazingly well. Its sold better then Snake eater on a console with a fraction of the install base. I dont think it will sell better then MGS2 though. |
 | niksta2 (on 07 September 2008) lol, and people said that it would sell less then snake-eater |
| iron_megalith (on 07 September 2008) 4M HERE WE GO!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 September 2008) if it keeps selling 70k a week it will get to 4 million easily |
| blazinhead89 (on 07 September 2008) Nice |
| Barozi (on 07 September 2008) impressive legs especially in America |
| darthdevidem01 (on 07 September 2008) @xxxvitoxxx n the holidays will lift it to 4 Million minimmum..... |
| darthdevidem01 (on 07 September 2008) another great week! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 07 September 2008) 3.20 woot =) next week will get 3.27-3.28 |
| freemanluke08 (on 06 September 2008) I think this game has a 1 in 4 attach rate in japan so you cant ask for more than that, also anygame that will go onto sell 4 million plus like this will, well I dont think there complaining, Also be good to see what they change and add when mgs4 substance comes . |
| Simulacrum (on 06 September 2008) Dont know how come Europe is getting beat up by America.. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 05 September 2008) damn mgs4 is dead in japan =( |
| Skeeuk (on 05 September 2008) act 4 is awsome, the way kojima brings back memories from mgs1 mgo is also superb |
 | victor28 (on 04 September 2008) good game... |
| jerseyboy609 (on 03 September 2008) lol at Aj |
| Aj_habfan (on 02 September 2008) Wtf is exoexted, lol. |
 | whofwhof (on 02 September 2008) best game ever |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 02 September 2008) yea but the others made 800k so i exoexted more damstr8 |
 | Billy D (on 01 September 2008) The Sauce said that this game would not hit 1 million until Christmas 08. Big time fail up in VG Chartz |
| Damstr8 (on 01 September 2008) @xxxvitoxxx pretty much every game dies in japan |
 | playnext3 (on 01 September 2008) yeah it has |
| Aj_habfan (on 01 September 2008) No, it doesn't. Should reach over 2 million in America and Others though. |
| s-grandi93 (on 01 September 2008) does this game have a chance for a million in japan? |
| Gearbox (on 31 August 2008) i bought this and can't really say im getting into it.. i keep trying and trying to like it but so far im only giving it a 7/10.. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 31 August 2008) man mgs4 is dying in japan =( |
| Stats87 (on 31 August 2008) sales in NA went up this week! Highest since Week 5 |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 31 August 2008) I hope Kojima decides to make an integral, substance, subsistence version of MGS4-- I would buy that in a heart beat. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 31 August 2008) SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!! I think in 2 weeks MGs4 will outsell MGS3's total in NA! |
| DMeisterJ (on 31 August 2008) MGS3 just hit 3 mil even. So only .88 to go until it tops MGS3 |
 | Soriku (on 31 August 2008) 3.12 mil? I thought it was at 3.90+ mil... This game has some pretty good legs. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 31 August 2008) mmm it could reach 6million with GH but im beting 5million |
| s-grandi93 (on 30 August 2008) also... this game is a visual masterpiece, and anyone who owns a ps3 should own this game |
| s-grandi93 (on 30 August 2008) will this game reach 6 mill?? |
| s-grandi93 (on 30 August 2008) @challis dude wth this game is teh best! |
| foolpittier (on 30 August 2008) 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. |
| challis (on 30 August 2008) 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. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 30 August 2008) Having my second playthrouth now. Shame Konami probably wont implement trophies. |
| Roy03 (on 30 August 2008) Sales even went up this week to 80k+ |
| ruibing (on 30 August 2008) 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. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 30 August 2008) amazing it will sell with japan another 80k this week |
| luistomas8782 (on 30 August 2008) there's a lot of trolls in here. go and drink your milk. MGS4 rules |
| blazinhead89 (on 30 August 2008) NA Sales up from last week again :D |
| Jason77 (on 30 August 2008) mgs4 is good but snake is too old. i still like the mgs3 snake. |
| Damstr8 (on 29 August 2008) yea this game is soooo front loaded,wont have any legs at all.... |
 | swyggi (on 29 August 2008) MGS4 actually EXCEEDS the hype it's so good. |
| insomniac_dog (on 29 August 2008) I bought it this morning, and already this game has ABSOLUTELY blown me away. However Kojima made this game, he made it extraordinarily well. Deserves every sold copy. |
 | Pristine20 (on 29 August 2008) mgs4 is coming for motorstorm and cod4 next! |
| nordberg (on 28 August 2008) agree also with superbeast1370. GTA IV disappointed (best gta is SanAndreas and my second best game) MGS4 is the best game ever! |
| project76dodo (on 28 August 2008) best game ever. only game to make me put ocarina of time in 2nd |
| danielhiru (on 28 August 2008) Loved every chapter in this game, chapter 4 is mind blowing, reminds us how far games have come since those days, Kojima Give us MSG5 ! |
| jerseyboy609 (on 28 August 2008) This game is about to outsell resistance 1!! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 28 August 2008) i agree with superbeast |
| superbeast1370 (on 28 August 2008) GTA IV disappointed. MGS4 delivers on all fronts. |
| foolpittier (on 26 August 2008) This game is the best ever. Hopefully the re-release will have plenty of awesome features |
| Skeeuk (on 25 August 2008) next mgo, a free game that comes with mgs4 |
| Jo21 (on 24 August 2008) best game this generation yet :) |
| Skeeuk (on 24 August 2008) act 4 omg, its flipping stunning. theres nothing on the 360 shelfs in gamestation that i want, mgs4 is the greatest game this gen so far |
| Jason77 (on 24 August 2008) Very interesting |
| Gamer4eva (on 23 August 2008) Best Game Of All Time |
 | aavidbacon (on 23 August 2008) if it keeps it´s atach rate, in a year it can sell 1,4 millions more. |
| CrazzyMan (on 23 August 2008) Eh, NA numbers of first 3 weeks are still underctracked. MGS4 sold over 1 mln. in NA during June. NPD numbers + bundles. I hope, later this will be corrected. =) |
| DMeisterJ (on 23 August 2008) It did But now america does v |
| Aj_habfan (on 22 August 2008) Am I crazy, or did Japan use to have the highest first week? |
| GetALife (on 22 August 2008) goooooooooo snake, the mgs world and the legebd that is big boss, proper creeeeazy, im glad its selling well everywhere, the only problem is that online its been getting ramparted, the we need nore servers, wheb the game gets good online it gets crazy |
| jerseyboy609 (on 22 August 2008) I just beat this game yesterday, and here are my afterthoughts...BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 21 August 2008) ok so if things go has this week it will reach 3.10 next week =) |
 | segajon (on 21 August 2008) 3.03million through first ten weeks, not bad at all. Well done Konami!! |
| el_rika (on 21 August 2008) Cowboys4u86 MGS4 will definitelly surpass MGS3 in sales, it is not even debatable. As for MGS and MGS2, who knows, the ps3 is still young and MGS4 seems to be showing some huge legs. |
| Cowboys4u86 (on 21 August 2008) There won't be a port, the game has made huge profits and it can't be done on the 360. there are too many contracts and hardware differences to make a port. Also, you say that people keep saying there will be a port. I say, people have been saying there will be a re-make of FFVII and we are still waiting. Don't hold your breath, because it isn't going to happen. This game also has no shot of being the best selling in the series. The PS3 doesn't have a big enough install base. |
| el_rika (on 21 August 2008) The game already brought a profit of at least 150 mil $ not including hardware bundles and peripherals or franchise goodies. |
| DMeisterJ (on 21 August 2008) I mean, apparently it needs a 360 port in order to be profitable. At least that's what everyone says, so I believe them. Where are my six discs at? |
 | DeadOnArrival06 (on 21 August 2008) Glad to see this bad boy hit 3 million. This has got to be the BEST game I've ever played. |
| Jo21 (on 21 August 2008) GOOOOOOOOO snake :) |
| sami_630 (on 21 August 2008) Best game ever |
 | obieslut (on 21 August 2008) this game deserves all the sales it gets. an epic game with epic legs for a game of its type. should be the best selling fo the series |
| insomniac_dog (on 21 August 2008) 3 million! This game THOROUGHLY deserves it. A genuine masterpiece of storytelling and interactivity. |
| Deviation59 (on 20 August 2008) You keep on waiting. Have fun. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 20 August 2008) amazing legs on america |
| ruibing (on 20 August 2008) Have fun swapping between 6+ discs. |
| DMeisterJ (on 20 August 2008) So... I am also waiting on the port to the XBOX 360. |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 20 August 2008) Not saying that there is one. |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 20 August 2008) I guess Konami can cancel that port? |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 20 August 2008) 3.5 by the holiday seasons? |
 | gimmebanana (on 20 August 2008) i ruv this game |
| Skeeuk (on 20 August 2008) next stop 4 million, these numbers are not sold to retailers at all |
 | Beja-Beja (on 20 August 2008) 5th ps3 game to sell over three million copies |
| Probotector (on 20 August 2008) no idiot, 3 millions of copies were the number of copies that konami gave to retailers. this game will hardly sell 3 million copies. It doesn´t appear in the top 50 in japan anymore, and it was not in the top 20 NPD in August. |
| Gearbox (on 20 August 2008) 3 million mark waqs reached by week 2 as said by gamespot. this is more like the 4 million mark. |
| el_rika (on 20 August 2008) American HW bundles included this should be 3,3 mil easily. |
| Jason77 (on 20 August 2008) Solid Snake we salute to you |
| sergiopepeu2 (on 20 August 2008) 3 million!! Great Legs! |
 | colonelstubbs (on 20 August 2008) 3 million down....thankfully. Now it cant be classed as a flop whatsoever. 4 million next! |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 20 August 2008) Great that this game has made it past the 3 million mark, it took Resistance well over a year to get there and this has done it in a fraction of the time :-) |
| Roy03 (on 20 August 2008) wow great legs in America :) |
| Munkeh111 (on 20 August 2008) Konami were happy two weeks after launch when they had shipped 3m then |
 | whacker41 (on 20 August 2008) 3 million. Konami must be happy. |
 | animefobber (on 20 August 2008) and theres the 3 mil mark, wonder how long it'll take to reach 4 mil |
| segajon (on 19 August 2008) Could it wrap up the first 10 weeks with at least 80k sold in each? I hope so!! |
| deathgod33 (on 19 August 2008) if you include the bundles it should be 4 million. |
| DMeisterJ (on 19 August 2008) 3 million this week! Also, the legs of the last three weeks have been good. sustaining 80k a week is awesome. |
| Gearbox (on 19 August 2008) Ok we must all remember that gamespot says they reached 3 million units sold in the first 2 weeks. So add all the other stuff to the 3 million mark to see just how high it is. 3.9 (also if the first to weeks are undertracked then so are the others, most likely) |
| Gearbox (on 19 August 2008) "they just stoped tracking the game fr Japan and America" What? They just don't have the data in yet. Notice how on the home page others is the only section that says the 16th of aug. america and japan are still at the 9th and 10th of aug. |
| blazinhead89 (on 19 August 2008) so close to 3 million |
| KingGohan (on 19 August 2008) they just stoped tracking the game fr Japan and America |
 | Tyrannical (on 19 August 2008) That Edge article also calims that MGS:4 won't even make the top ten US sales for the year |
| Skeeuk (on 18 August 2008) act 4 omg, it has a small part playable from mgs1 with ps1 grafix, u also get a new face mask fom mgs1 with ps1 textures its amazing. |
| el_rika (on 18 August 2008) Ok, so NPD officially is not tracking hardware bundles http://www.edge-online.com/features/in-depth-analysis-games-and-console-sales?page=0%2C1, then how does VGchartz still include those HW bundles in America as they have been saying ? |
| Skeeuk (on 17 August 2008) act 3 is amazing, one of the best games thus far. the cut scene at the end of act 3 beats any movie scene its staggering, and all in game grafix |
| Jo21 (on 16 August 2008) great legs even if people said it would not have. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 16 August 2008) my estimate is that by dec 2008 it will have 3.70 .70 in japan 1.5 in america and europe |
| Aj_habfan (on 16 August 2008) Don't get too excited, the bundle sales will end within the next couple of weeks. |
| Slavedemonxi (on 16 August 2008) I think mgs4 can reach at least 5 million. |
 | kazuyamishima (on 15 August 2008) If they put the bundle in Others there easily the legs will be at 60000+ and about 110000+ WW for this week |
 | Mirson (on 15 August 2008) mrstickball said: "Looks like MGS4 will be fortuate to crack 3m WW." :) Anyways, Act IV is my favorite. Will probably sell 4.5 - 5 million lifetime. |
| segajon (on 15 August 2008) this will be above 50k a week all year long!!! |
| obieslut (on 15 August 2008) 3mil next week whoop whoop |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 14 August 2008) omg mgs4 doenst drop form 80k awsome |
| Damstr8 (on 14 August 2008) 3 mil next week |
| Zuhyc (on 14 August 2008) The legs are huge in America, but not so in Europe. I guess it's because off the bundle. |
 | woj (on 14 August 2008) Best game on any console ever! |
| Skeeuk (on 14 August 2008) the grafix on act 2 are compelling |
| Skeeuk (on 14 August 2008) will easily hit 3 million , i predict near 5 million at years end |
| insomniac_dog (on 14 August 2008) That was a big adjustment. Huzzah! MGS4 is ever closer to the 3 mil mark! |
| gimmebanana (on 13 August 2008) mgs4 numbers are off by a few 100k !!! |
| blazinhead89 (on 13 August 2008) Nice Adjusted 3 Million next week? |
| Gearbox (on 13 August 2008) O ok i was wrong, it's only off by a few hunderd thou. |
| el_rika (on 13 August 2008) @ erikguy what's perfect for you, isn't perfect for others and vice versa. The generally accepted consensus is that MGS4 is the best MGS game yet though. Question - were the sales updated upward by a few tens of thousands (other than the Others number) ? |
| erikguy (on 13 August 2008) I dont understand why this game will outsell MGS3. While good, this game DID NOT reach the outstanding perfection that was Snake Eater/Subsistence. |
| erikguy (on 13 August 2008) "vg chrtz if off by 2 mill + gamespot says they SOLD 3 million FIRST WEEK" No. the article says "3 Mil in 2 WEEKS" Go read it again.... http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearsolid4/news.html?sid=6195475 |
| outlawauron (on 12 August 2008) @ bleu Oh, no. It'll do way more than 3.5 mil by Jan 09. Im thinking 3.75 mil easy. |
| Deviation59 (on 12 August 2008) MGS2 sold something like 7 million so there's little chance MGS4 will approach it. It should top MGS3, however. |
| DMeisterJ (on 12 August 2008) Finally the adjustment. Still needs a little more adjustment as the 3.5 million or so it shipped is still unaccounted for. But this is a start. |
| kazuyamishima (on 12 August 2008) Well they Fix "The Others" Chart for this week, incredible that in about maybe 10 weeks a metal gear solid game reach the 3 million mark |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 August 2008) i think it will reachn 3.5 much sooner than that ocelot |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 12 August 2008) Nice sales for MGS4. 3 million in 2 more weeks. 3.5ml by January 09. |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 August 2008) see people vgcharts was undertracking it |
| tombi123 (on 12 August 2008) adjusted up in others by over 100k. |
| Gearbox (on 12 August 2008) vg chrtz if off by 2 mill + gamespot says they SOLD 3 million FIRST WEEK |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 12 August 2008) they claim they do but it just feels weird that 750k mgs4 are sitting on the stores =/ vgcharts atleast is off b 250k |
| SchumiF1 (on 12 August 2008) http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/3579.html Konami shipped 4 million, sales are around 3.5 million. I wish VG Chartz actually counted bundles. |
| Gamer4eva (on 11 August 2008) This might become the best selling Metal Gear game, if it can make 3.5 Mil before holiday season, then it should be at 4.5 Mil after the holiday season. |
| keselfesday (on 11 August 2008) MGS4 Price 8,480 yen are 2,980 yen a drop in price at last successively http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org0175.jpg The MGS4 bundling version is 39,800 yen that are discounted by 10,000 yen from price 49,800 yen http://img.akibablog.net/snake/2008-08-07-102.jpg |
| GetALife (on 11 August 2008) i really have to put it out there, this game was like a final fantasy game for me, i played the crap out of it first time round with finishing it at 32 hours. so much funny stuff i did throughout the game, the game works wonders and i love that its epic, i wanna say stuff but i dotn wanna spoil it |
| insomniac_dog (on 11 August 2008) Amazing sales! Go MGS4 Go! |
| Damstr8 (on 11 August 2008) i wonder how well it'll sell around christmas... |
| blazinhead89 (on 10 August 2008) Next target 3 Million!!! |
| TuomasMetal (on 10 August 2008) Fantastic game! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 10 August 2008) can we see another 80k next week? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 10 August 2008) This is the second time the American sales have increased over the last week. Those bundles sure do wonders. |
| el_rika (on 10 August 2008) VGchartz says it counts hardware bundles as well... ...anyway, seeing how the game is selling like hot cakes still, those Konami numbers will soon become reality on this site as well. |
| SHMUPGurus (on 10 August 2008) @ Cowboys4u86: They might as well count Wii Sports out! Well, It is harder to determine if consumers prefer the 80 GB bundle over the 40 GB one, but still...! o_o |
| Cowboys4u86 (on 10 August 2008) The MGS4 sales don't take the Bundle's into account...these are solely game sales not including the bundle...hence, why the numbers on this site are lower than the actual numbers. |
 | 4lc0h0l (on 10 August 2008) nice NA sales probably bundle |
| Zuhyc (on 10 August 2008) w00t the game went up in NA! |
| xxxvitoxxx (on 10 August 2008) awsome legs!!! |
| Munkeh111 (on 09 August 2008) The NA sales for this week have not been put up this week |
| blazinhead89 (on 09 August 2008) Wheres the NA Sales? |
| Obliterator1700 (on 08 August 2008) Whats so good about this game? |
| Munkeh111 (on 07 August 2008) @ erikguy, I have seen that fact elsewhere |
| erikguy (on 06 August 2008) I'm sure you guys have seen the Gamespot article that says 3 mil were sold within 2 weeks.... http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearsolid4/news.html?sid=6195475 |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 06 August 2008) actually mpo could be selling a little bit since it got to GH |
| DMeisterJ (on 06 August 2008) 4 million shipped but only 2.69 sold? I fail to believe that 1.31 million units are sitting on store shelves. Also, I fail to believe that Metal Gear for the PSP is still selling enough to make up a large portion of "Metal Gear" units sold this generation, Out of the 4 million Metal Gear games shipped, at least 3.75 million are MGS4 as MGS: PO isn't even selling anymore. |
| el_rika (on 06 August 2008) Ok guys, let's all give VGchartz a break, they are doing their best and others is a very difficult region to track. Though i'd presonally love to see updated MGS and MGS2 numbers if it is possible as they are off by at least a million each. |
 | KylieDog (on 06 August 2008) "freemanluke08 posted 06/08/2008, 01:21 http://kotaku.com/5033383/metal-gear-solid-4-is-a-giant-angry-sales-pac+man-ships-394m-copies" It says right there in the title shipped.... |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 05 August 2008) Yeah it'd have to be atleast a million undertracked... Alot in Others and a little in America I reckon. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 05 August 2008) i was gonna post that lol yes vcgarts is WAY OFF this is easy 3.5 million |
| blazinhead89 (on 05 August 2008) Wheres the NA sales lololol |
 | AaronSOLDIER (on 05 August 2008) Just passed 3 million - http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20080805/konami.htm (Its in Japanese) |
| Dark Odin (on 05 August 2008) by the end of holidays maybe 4 million |
| Simulacrum (on 04 August 2008) I think total sales will be 4 m or 5, it has better legs than i thought. |
| squibbfire (on 04 August 2008) This is deffinatly a must have for any video game fan....fanboy chatter aside...when PS3 starts taking over.....this is still gonna be selling... |
| deathgod33 (on 04 August 2008) 6 million by mgs5? or more? |
| SHMUPGurus (on 03 August 2008) Kojima totally delivered with this one. He didn't miss a single detail about anything! It is definitely my favorite game this generation, and probably the best end to a series ever. *SPOILER* I wonder though, why did Naomi copy a file about Solid Snake on a disk? I feel like I missed that part or something...? |
 | sc94597 (on 02 August 2008) Great game. Definitely the best in the series. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 01 August 2008) Maybe because Halo 3 is a fun game with a really good online system. But no, it sucks...for no good reason. |
 | CATCHORA (on 01 August 2008) @ gearbox simple minded ppl my friend simple minded ppl ... lol |
| Gearbox (on 01 August 2008) 3 weeks and it will pass 2.8 mil what really annoys me is how halo 3 sold over 3 mill first week and the game stinks... |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 31 July 2008) hell yes next week 2.70-2.73 |
| jerseyboy609 (on 31 July 2008) hell yeah!! |
| outlawauron (on 31 July 2008) Great sales. Drops, now, aren't that bad. |
| Simulacrum (on 31 July 2008) Yep.It keeps on selling when Ps3 is selling. And ps3 is selling. |
| CATCHORA (on 31 July 2008) I predict this game will hit 1 million hits.... lol |
| Loud_Hot_White_Box (on 31 July 2008) funny to see the little jabs at MGS4 on this board. 10/10 jealousy, confirmed. |
| Gearbox (on 30 July 2008) OMG guys these numbers are very close to what the actual sales are! Shipped and bought are 2 different things. |
| Aj_habfan (on 30 July 2008) That was shipped to retailers numbers, these are sold to customer numbers. Learn about the site before trashing it my friend. |
| SchumiF1 (on 30 July 2008) Seriously, WHERE are those numbers from? VG Chartz is so off with their numbers. Konami can CONFIRM they've sold over 3 million some time ago. |
| Aj_habfan (on 30 July 2008) It won't have the bundles to carry it anymore though, once those new 80GB's hit then the bundle is over. Still, it should keep strong numbers and make the 4 million mark. |
| Gearbox (on 29 July 2008) @ iron_megalith man u just belive what others have said dont u.. 1.6 to .4 is a smaller drop then 3.8 to .7 (HALO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!) |
| Zkuq (on 29 July 2008) They removed 'Others' weekly sales. I wonder why... |
| iron_megalith (on 29 July 2008) The biggest drop I have ever seen.... Anyway a Fantastic game it is. |
| keselfesday (on 29 July 2008) Only In Japan: Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins? http://kotaku.com/5029830/less-than-a-month-and-a-half-mgs4-in-bargain-bins Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins? http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-176175.aspx?CT=1#Comments |
| el_rika (on 29 July 2008) @erikguy You honestly think it'll only do Motostorm numbers ? Be serious. Despite the price and userbase it is the fastest selling MGS title and it is already 2,6 mil after a month. It will be a 5 + mil lifetime easy. There will be price drops and there will be hollydays which will boost sales. |
| erikguy (on 28 July 2008) 3.5 mil Lifetime with the price of the PS3 and the game itself..... I dont see it outselling MGS3. |
| LOL MATURE (on 27 July 2008) people said this would not even come close to 500k in Japan. |
| Gearbox (on 26 July 2008) @ el-rika yes the bundles ARE tracked. |
| outlawauron (on 25 July 2008) No they do track bundles. The Source misspoke and TheSource corrected himself later in the news post as ioi also corrected him. |
| Heavenly_King (on 25 July 2008) GO MGS4!!!! :D |
| el_rika (on 25 July 2008) @Gearbox last i checked VGchartz didn't track hardware bundles for MGS4. It does for other games (Wii sports for ex) but MGS4 definitelly not. |
| Gearbox (on 24 July 2008) @ Yakuzaice - ur right I didn't notice it @ Bleu-ocelot - VGCHARTZ does track bundles... |
| toastboy44562 (on 24 July 2008) who named this game japan |
| Yakuzaice (on 24 July 2008) @Gearbox The US numbers were adjusted. The first week had been just over 500k, now it is 665k. Some other weeks may have been adjusted as well. |
| sizynski (on 24 July 2008) Still sticking with my guess of 7 million units for lifetime. If bundles were included, it'd probably be about halfway there. |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 24 July 2008) Vgchartz doesn't track bundles. This game could be 3mil already. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 23 July 2008) next week it should be at 2.65-2.70 |
| Gearbox (on 23 July 2008) They should make all bundle packs include this game forever. Then this game will be the most sold game in history :) |
| Gearbox (on 23 July 2008) No they have yet 2 be adjusted, but as every1 is telling me its way undertracked.. |
 | akuma587 (on 23 July 2008) Wow, did these numbers get adjusted upwards recently or what? |
| Pristine20 (on 23 July 2008) The more ps3's sell, the more people will buy this game because its still the most impressive showcase of the ps3 hardware to date! |
| Heavenly_King (on 23 July 2008) GO MGS4 & PS3!!!! |
| outlawauron (on 23 July 2008) @ vito No, they are counting it. It was a misunderstanding b/n TheSource and ioi. |
 | EdGuila (on 22 July 2008) First release day game I've bought in a long long time...and definately delivered the merits I expected. 10/10 |
| Aprisaiden (on 22 July 2008) 2.58 million is pretty good. The game should break 3 million soon. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 22 July 2008) MGS4 is having good legs in America. Bundle, or just spread out sales? |
| Gearbox (on 22 July 2008) Konami actually said 1 million shipped as I belive, but I have yet to find where they actually said it to double check. Can some1 link me it? |
| Funglip (on 22 July 2008) Gearbox, look at the top of the page. Week 1 480,695 665,902 463,673 1,610,270 |
 | Blackcum101 (on 22 July 2008) Konami said that they sold 1 million in Europe not shipped a while ago |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 22 July 2008) are u sure Skeeuk cuz they count wii sports but not this? |
 | jacks81x (on 22 July 2008) @Gearbox Actually, the numbers on VGchartz refer to copies sold, not copies shipped. Konami already announced that 3 million copies were shipped by the 2nd week. So obviously the 2.5 million refers to copies actually sold. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/884/884552p1.html |
| Skeeuk (on 22 July 2008) they are not counting the bundles on vgchartrz. mgs4 is better than anything on 360 ps3 has just got 360`s highest rated game boishock, better grafix better sound better everything. no reason to buy a 360 over ps3 |
| Gearbox (on 21 July 2008) K guys it didn't sell 1 mill first week! They SHIPPED one mill not SOLD. There is a difference. If you get proof that they sold 1 mill then show me it and I'll belive you. |
| el_rika (on 21 July 2008) 3 mil by September ? |
| Gamer4eva (on 21 July 2008) Europe is undertracked, should be way over 1mil |
| Simulacrum (on 20 July 2008) No bundles included..So about 3m? |
 | Leetgeek (on 20 July 2008) The best game I ever played. Amazing. Sales should be no surprise and will continue through Christmas season. Games this good have legs. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 20 July 2008) adjusted yay!!! but still it sold 1 million in europe |
| 321tttrini4everz (on 20 July 2008) @Dark Odin it already sold 1million in europe in its first week |
| Dark Odin (on 20 July 2008) GREAT VGC! (but I still thin that in Europe sold more... hehe) |
 | kamil (on 20 July 2008) First week for America adjusted up 160k. |
| DMeisterJ (on 20 July 2008) Fucking right! adjusted. |
| SchumiF1 (on 20 July 2008) Metal Gear Solid 4 SOLD 1 million copies in Europe in two weeks! It's been reported several times by many known websites! http://www.mcvuk.com/news/30959/Metal-Gear-Solid-4-hits-a-million-in-first-week |
| outlawauron (on 19 July 2008) 4k drop! About right!!! |
 | SpeedBreaker (on 19 July 2008) and who said PS3 couldn't sell 3rd party exclusives? MGS4 is golden. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 19 July 2008) Woahz, that's more like it. Now I'm gonna win BIG on the predictions league for the first week if ioi ever decides to pay us back >_> |
| Gearbox (on 19 July 2008) Sony is on a role now, two good things have happend l8ly by them. First, they made this a bundle. Second, instead of a price cut they are going to make another 80 gig model with no play back abilites and sell it for the pricve of the old 40 gig one! |
| CrazzyMan (on 19 July 2008) Weren`t 1 mln. MGS4 sold in USA already on week 4? =) I mean, 743,119 in US only + 50-70k in Canada? and +200k from bundles, since ps3 sales went by 200k higer then they were in May.) In Europe 1 mln, shipped and only 680k sold in 2 weeks? it should be like 800k i belive. =) Anyway, Great sales for MGS4, especially during summer.) |
| MontanaHatchet (on 19 July 2008) Damstr8: Damn straight they were adjusted! |
| Damstr8 (on 19 July 2008) numbers adjusted? |
| Blackcum101 (on 19 July 2008) the bundles are not being counted and they said that they sold 1 million in Europe and Shipped 3million worldwide not sold |
| erikguy (on 19 July 2008) I think some of you are getting confused with units SHIPPED vs. actually SOLD. I read that article on Gamespot too. If you read carefully it says "3 Mil SHIPPED" not sold. |
| erikguy (on 19 July 2008) I dont think the PS3 bundles are being counted..... Im not sure tho. |
| JEstevens (on 19 July 2008) One of my favourite games :D I hope that it will reach 3.5M 4 M |
 | Auron (on 19 July 2008) Vgchartz is weak...... |
| SchumiF1 (on 19 July 2008) Haha! This is a joke! It's the last time I use VG Chartz! It's been reported several times that MGS4 has indeed hit the 3 million mark, yet your numbers are completely different. MGS4 sold 1 million copies in Europe alone, in under two weeks! Yet you still have it under a million... |
| saberlam (on 19 July 2008) This big selling game is obviously showed that people prefer game that has more video and also more beautiful girl and handsome charactor. |
 | SOLIDSNAKE08 (on 18 July 2008) vgchartz have something against the ps3 and sony. |
 | goyolap (on 18 July 2008) yeah man that really suck I dont trust this site that much |
 | JordanBlack68 (on 18 July 2008) If the Wii Sports gets counted why don't they include the MGS4 bundles |
| goyolap (on 18 July 2008) this chart really incomplete because in europe the game sold 1 million copies without the bundle and this should say like 2.5 or 2.6.So can we trust vgchartz? |
| Dark Odin (on 18 July 2008) I agree. and it´s always with PS3 games and hardware.. |
| el_rika (on 18 July 2008) VGchartz should count hardware bundles as well. They are still copies of the game sold and in MGS4's case it's a good extra 300k copies WW so far. It's up to VGchartz and their policies though. |
| LOL MATURE (on 18 July 2008) Dark Odin. Probablly over one million in NA since it is almost one million in US alone. And on top of that there is an extra two weeks of sales now. NPD's data only covers 3 weeks of MGS4's sales. Like I said... 3 million shipped after 2 weeks when VGC had 2 million sold after 4 weeks didn't make sense |
| Dark Odin (on 17 July 2008) I just knew that the sales in NA were higher. So, one million already in NA, and in some weeks in EUrope. Good MGS4!!! what I dont get is that yakuza 3, dynasty warriors, DMC4, etc all come with bundles in Japan, and the numbers were added... |
 | FinalEvangelion (on 17 July 2008) The last big third party exclusive... |
| Stats87 (on 17 July 2008) So with Bundles this is around 2.5 Million right? not bad |
| LOL MATURE (on 17 July 2008) Aprisaiden - NPD also only includes US sales. VGC apparentally covers Canada. Also Konami announce THREE weeks ago that they shipped 3 million. Sorry VGC but NPD's numbers just fill in the blanks better on this one... ~350k undertracked imo. |
| Aprisaiden (on 17 July 2008) NA sales are under tracked -- NPD has it at 774k + bundles = just under 1 million... I wonder when we will get more sales data for shipments made?.... |
| s-grandi93 (on 17 July 2008) this game doesnt interest me but im tempted to buy it from all the great feedback its been getting, what do i do? |
| Dark Odin (on 17 July 2008) it´ll pass one million in Europe in 3 weeks. maybe 2.. who knows |
| Gearbox (on 16 July 2008) Wow this is selling way better then I thought it would! It will definatly pass Assassins creed within 2 months tops. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 16 July 2008) to 3million!!!!!! |
| nordlead (on 16 July 2008) what in the world are you talking about Montana? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 16 July 2008) Whoever keeps on putting the Japanese names as the English name needs to stop it right now. |
| skeezer (on 16 July 2008) This game is AMAZING!! |
| Munkeh111 (on 16 July 2008) Bundles coming back into stock next week should help NA sales |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 16 July 2008) Metal Gear Solid 4 is still going strong in NA. |
| insomniac_dog (on 16 July 2008) Umm, why is this game over 500,000 hits??!! Oh, that's right.. because it's AWESOME! Anyway, very much expected sales. Congrats Konami! |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 15 July 2008) with japan andm europe this game should be 2.15-2.20 this week |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 14 July 2008) MGS4 is niche!! It can have so many hits! =p MGS4 will have strong legs and jump back into the top 10 come the holiday season. |
 | fuegonian (on 14 July 2008) This game should have incredible legs, it should keep selling as long as the PS3 does... I see no reason why people who own a PS5 in 15 years won't download it and play it too. |
| blazinhead89 (on 13 July 2008) GOTY Candidate. I think it This Game is absolutely amazing. Thank you Hideo Kojima :) |
| Skeeuk (on 13 July 2008) lol i cant belive the grafix on act 2 they are to good to be true. this is not just a great game its a flipping great game. i wonder how many sales at xmas 2008 for this game? |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 13 July 2008) to 1 million hits xD |
| playnext3 (on 13 July 2008) wtf 500k hits incredible |
| Gearbox (on 13 July 2008) why does halo keep getting hits|!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 | konnichiwa (on 13 July 2008) Wow so many wall posts and so many hits =p... |
| segajon (on 12 July 2008) should be getting this game soon!!!!! |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 12 July 2008) well savior it has a chance |
| SaviorX (on 12 July 2008) @vitoxxxxxxxxxxx MGS4 will pass 3 million no problem. What I want to see later on is if it passes that 5 million mark. |
| vitoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (on 12 July 2008) well this game is bundle in all regions so it will easly sell 3-4 million...just give it time |
| keselfesday (on 12 July 2008) MGS4's heritage is at once its greatest strength and most damning shortcoming. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 11 July 2008) lol, 300k hits. So every single member of VGChartz has viewed this game page 12 times? 'kay... Who keeps doing this? I remember when my profile got ten thousand random hits one day... |
| Jason77 (on 11 July 2008) lol I guess Xbox fanboys are jealous. |
| Dark Odin (on 10 July 2008) Act 3! It´s so good! but I´m not a good player in MGS I confess hehe |
| Gearbox (on 10 July 2008) OMG i think i no what a hit is the ammount of time some1 views a page it gets a hit am i right montana? HAHAH im right. I just did that 2 a game with 2 hits about 5 times then refreshed the page where the game was and it went up 2 7! |
| Gearbox (on 10 July 2008) @foolpittier When u find out tell me :) |
 | YoppaDo (on 10 July 2008) Both this and Halo 3 have rocketed to the top of hits, lol. |
| foolpittier (on 10 July 2008) can someone please explain to me what hits are? |
 | RockSmith372 (on 10 July 2008) Montana well someone really wanted this on top. 300k of hits. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 10 July 2008) Rocksmith: Only a couple thousand on Uncharted. Not that it mattered. |
| Skeeuk (on 10 July 2008) im only on act 2: lol i need to get more time on this thing, my job is ruining my gaming:). btw i just could not belive the grafix in act 2, the scenery and far stretched landscapes was simply stunning, i hear act 3 looks even better than act 2 |
| Gearbox (on 09 July 2008) next week this game should reach 2.1 to 2.2 mil |
| 321tttrini4everz (on 09 July 2008) sold to retailer=shipped bought by customer=sold 1 million sold to customers through retailer in its first week release in europe.....that should be clear for you..lol |
| toastboy44562 (on 09 July 2008) i think they ment sold to retail |
| 321tttrini4everz (on 09 July 2008) yea this game sold 1 million in it's first week in europe(confirmed by konami) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mgs4#Sales |
| RockSmith372 (on 09 July 2008) montana did you do this? |
| kamil (on 09 July 2008) Wow! So how many hits this game got in last 24 hours? 50,000 or more? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 09 July 2008) Be careful Meow, that wouldn't agree with his fanboy rantings. |
 | MeowTheMouse (on 08 July 2008) @SchumiF1 maybe ur talking about shipments ? |
| SchumiF1 (on 08 July 2008) It bothers me how off all the numbers on VG Chartz are!! Everyone knows that MGS4 hit the 3 million mark already some weeks after it's release. And it has sold over a million in both Europe and America. A lot of other websites acknowledge that, but I guess VG Chartz won't! |
| SpartanFX (on 07 July 2008) hope the bundles last as long as motor storm bundles. |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 07 July 2008) Resistance sold 3 million lifetime.MGS4 will sell 6 million at most or more.There's nothing to be disappointed at. |
| Snake612 (on 07 July 2008) Its a great game. I'm sort of disappointed in the sales. I expected it to sell more the first two weeks. I hope resistance 2 will sell more. |
 | Twisterdk (on 06 July 2008) Awesome game! what more can be said. im at my 3rd playthrough at The Boss Extreme level atm. just pure awesomeness! |
| RockSmith372 (on 05 July 2008) i hope they don't make another one. It ended perfect with this one. There is no way they could make it better than they did here. |
| german_strudel (on 05 July 2008) I want custom sounddtrack with it :((( |
| blazinhead89 (on 05 July 2008) Awesome Game. 3rd playthro atm on Big Boss Hard. |
| SpartanFX (on 04 July 2008) I love his game ,,,,second time on the hardest setting. |
 | crymetyme (on 03 July 2008) the game is awesome. MGO is awesome as well. If anyone wants to play MGO with me, send me your PSN ID, and also your character's name in MGO so i can add you on both |
| MontanaHatchet (on 03 July 2008) I'm trying my best to delete these stupid troll comments. Just as a warning, if you think it's funny to troll here I'll find it equally fun to ban you. |
| Skeeuk (on 03 July 2008) this game will sell well especially at xmas time. no fanboy fud can take away the fact that this is one of the best games made, there is nothing on the shelfs at game or gamestation for 360 that can match this stunning specticle of a videogame |
| goyolap (on 03 July 2008) In my opinion this chart maybe until npd give the chart this are the number.In my opinion this game sold better than I expect I was expecting like 700k in its first week and I have agree with previous comment that mgs 3 had a lot of competion that is why it dint surpass the 5 million mark.Also they say that in europe sold one million where is that million in that chart? |
| 321tttrini4everz (on 03 July 2008) this game shipped 3million copies on june 26th...and also sold over 1million copies in its first week in europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_4 |
| Dark Odin (on 03 July 2008) when the bundles will be shipped? hardware sales in NA are too low. |
 | ziss (on 03 July 2008) europe rulzzz! )) |
| chinmoku (on 03 July 2008) Congratulations for the 2 mil mark. |
| Aprisaiden (on 03 July 2008) hmm ... strange i though it would sell more this week... 940k + whateva was shipped over the last week and a bit left on store shevles ... |
| Aj_habfan (on 03 July 2008) I'm sure tons are sitting in Sony's factories with the 80GB's waiting to be shipped. |
 | PooperScooper (on 03 July 2008) 940k still sitting on shelves.... |
| MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008) I think those are pictures from old trailers and such. They may not be from the final build of the game. |
 | arsenal009 (on 02 July 2008) Are those pics accurate? Everything looks grey & green. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008) Well, it's not as simple as that Tombi. MGS3 actually had a stunted American launch due to the fact that it launched alongside GTA:SA and Halo 2, so it ended up having more legs than anything. I think this will be an important title for the PS3 so maybe 4 million or bit more. |
| tombi123 (on 02 July 2008) mrstickball - You are so wrong its not even funny. MGS3 sold 1.1M first week, it went onto sell 4M. We are looking at around 5M for MGS4. |
 | halil23 (on 02 July 2008) That funny, wiboy (trestres) & xbot (mrstickball) posting here hoping it doesn't pass 4 million. Wishful thinking eh? Don't worry it will easily pass 4 million. |
 | Apollo (on 02 July 2008) I can't believe a game like this isn't pushing any hardware? in fact hardware sales have dropped! |
 | Reasonable (on 02 July 2008) Konami better hope a fair few US gamers are waiting for more 80GB bundles... So far its actually taken hold best in Others with steady drops week on week vs sudden plummets. |
| insomniac_dog (on 02 July 2008) 2 million!!! This game more than deserves it. Solid Snake, we salute you! |
| MontanaHatchet (on 02 July 2008) I know, 3 weeks of sales is plenty of time to judge long term numbers. It's not even like there's a holiday season to help it out... |
 | trestres (on 01 July 2008) I agree with mrstickball |
 | mrstickball (on 01 July 2008) Looks like MGS4 will be fortuate to crack 3m WW. |
| leo-j (on 01 July 2008) 2 million Ouch huge drop in NA sales, |
 | Falcon095 (on 01 July 2008) where are american numbers? |
| erikguy (on 01 July 2008) radziel, thanks man. |
| SpeedBreaker (on 01 July 2008) 2 million is coming |
| MontanaHatchet (on 01 July 2008) Well, back in '06, everybody thought that the PS3 would be a one-legged horse with MGS4. Now that is definitely not the case. MGS4 might make it into the top 5 and not get knocked out again. |
| Gearbox (on 01 July 2008) This game has a long ways to go to make the top 5. I thought it would be the TOP selling game for the PS3 for a LONG time. O well 1.9 so far is amazing! Seeing as how the company gets 2/5s to a half of the money made that's a huge paycheck! |
| MontanaHatchet (on 01 July 2008) If it's missing then you either already own it or your computer is bugged (which would be a strange bug too). |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 01 July 2008) Deal with it.2 million in 3 weeks.Not too shabby. |
| viewsonic9 (on 01 July 2008) No the 'add to my collection' button is missing |
 | Radziel (on 29 June 2008) @erikguy look at the right column, under list of game owners, there's "add to my game collection". |
| erikguy (on 29 June 2008) where's the "I own it" button? |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 29 June 2008) It'll hit 3 million by september,with the bundles. |
| Kamahl (on 28 June 2008) i beat it today, what a great game :D |
| Gearbox (on 27 June 2008) awesome the salses still make it top 2+ in all regions |
 | ocnkng (on 27 June 2008) This game will have lots and lots of legs |
| Falkano (on 27 June 2008) 3m by the end of the year if it gets in the sales for xmas for sure. Not great but not bad either. If it goes multi-platform i would expect sales to at least double to 4m. Maybe they will have to to recover costs? |
| Skeeuk (on 27 June 2008) should pass 2 million by next week, but its a title that will have legs, especially the run up to xmas |
| playnext3 (on 27 June 2008) 2 million next week |
 | ZenfoldorVGI (on 27 June 2008) @nexzen Those are shipped. 2/3 sellthrough common. |
 | kingofwale (on 27 June 2008) very nice, will hit 2 million in less than a months. |
| leo-j (on 27 June 2008) It didnt make 2 milion -=( I hope it makes 4 million LTD |
 | routsounmanman (on 27 June 2008) What a game... God... 9/10 |
 | o_hadji89 (on 26 June 2008) sales are strong hope it continious. Great game my 2nd greatest game after megaman 2 nes. |
| project76dodo (on 26 June 2008) i got it hooked up through sharp AQUOS 62" HDMI seriously greatest game ever going through it for the 4th time MGO all night PSN- project76dodo MGO- dodo |
| GetALife (on 26 June 2008) i have a hd tv with hdmi on ps3, and omg, the graphics on this game should be illegal, this is what ps3 was built for |
| Aprisaiden (on 26 June 2008) Dissapointing NA sales... offwell it'll pass 2 million next week. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 26 June 2008) Those are shipped numbers, keep dreaming. |
| tombi123 (on 26 June 2008) Good legs in Europe. The worst opening week was in Europe, but after only 2 weeks, it has sold the most in Europe. |
| erikguy (on 26 June 2008) @pooperscooper yes. probably more. |
| blazinhead89 (on 26 June 2008) awesome game |
| PooperScooper (on 26 June 2008) @darthdevidem But those numbers are two months old. (Only a month worth of sales) I'm sure by now that its past 2.5 mil You expect me to believe 500-600k people downloaded this thing? |
| Munkeh111 (on 26 June 2008) 4th most viewed game on the site! |
| MontanaHatchet (on 26 June 2008) Odin, it will do a good bit more than 3.5 million. |
| Dark Odin (on 26 June 2008) this week will pass 2 million. lifetime 3.5 million I think.. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 26 June 2008) GTA4 is an amazing game and both versions will outsell MGS4. So boo hoo. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 26 June 2008) BOOOO GTA 4 BOOOO!!!! |
 | Mike92r (on 26 June 2008) it won't be more selled than Grand Theft Auto IV because GTA as more selled in first week than MGS will sell in 4 or maybe 5 weeks. But il will belike Assasin's Creed I think |
| Munkeh111 (on 26 June 2008) I am surprised by only 700k so far. As said,with 1m shipped in the first week, and I did seen it sold out in places at the start, I would expect it to be closer to 800k |
| darthdevidem01 (on 26 June 2008) @pooperscooper but thats excusable due to VG chartz not being able to track downloadable sales... |
| iron_megalith (on 26 June 2008) aw.. uncharted is ranked higher. Anyway this is a terrific game to play. Gonna make a purchase of Uncharted after I finish this. |
| Aprisaiden (on 26 June 2008) needs 260k sales in NA this week to break 2 million. Assuming 67k Japan sales... Overall the game is going preety good so far. Lets just hope it ends up with some legs-- im hoping the game will have a chance of breaking 5 million LTD. |
| Damstr8 (on 26 June 2008) i really dont get why people dont like mgo i love it |
| outlawauron (on 26 June 2008) this game is so awesome! |
| PooperScooper (on 26 June 2008) But look at GT5:P Polyphony says 2.23mil 2 months ago and we only have 1.8 mil |
| PooperScooper (on 26 June 2008) "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... I believe it is undertracked. |
| ruibing (on 25 June 2008) @darth Yeah, I remember reading that too. With the reported high demand and a million shipped, along all the good reviews and word-of-mouth it got, I feel this title is starting to get severely under tracked. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 25 June 2008) I find it hard to believe there are 300K MGS4 copies just sitting in EU cus Konami said they shipped 1 million |
| darthdevidem01 (on 25 June 2008) just realized MGS4 could be close to GTA 4 PS3's 2nd week....GO MGS4!!! |
| leo-j (on 25 June 2008) dam its possible.. it needs 260k in NA for it to make 2 million this week. |
| leo-j (on 25 June 2008) @soriku I dunno but they fixed it XD |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 25 June 2008) Hopefully the bundles last a while. |
| Soriku (on 25 June 2008) Why does Snake have a green mustache on the pic on the bottom pic of the summary? O_o |
| MontanaHatchet (on 25 June 2008) @Incandescence: Maybe, because of the bundles. But the other MGSs sold about 5-6 million with a far larger userbase. |
 | Incandescence (on 25 June 2008) Don't you think five million's a little low to hope for? |
| leo-j (on 24 June 2008) Here's hoping it breaks 5 million when its all set and done. |
| DeadOnArrival06 (on 24 June 2008) This game is a true Masterpiece. Thank you, Kojima for making the greatest game in history. |
| sizynski (on 24 June 2008) I am going to predict a very long shelf life. Seven million worldwide. |
| SpartanFX (on 24 June 2008) If motorstorm can sell 3.6 million with bundles ,MGS4 can easily sell 4.3-4.5 million with the bundles |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 24 June 2008) I reckon...4.2 million? :3 |
| luistomas8782 (on 24 June 2008) this would have amazing sales if this gets bundled till the end of this year, that's for sure |
| whacker41 (on 24 June 2008) 3 million lifetime? your drastically underestimating this game. I'm expecting 4 million lifetime at least. |
| Damstr8 (on 24 June 2008) best game this gen so far |
| BlackPoizon (on 23 June 2008) I'm gonna guess this game will hit 4 million by the end of 2008 |
 | bigjon (on 23 June 2008) I've seen abundent bundles. So I doupt that will be a problem |
| luistomas8782 (on 23 June 2008) This game has so many details in it. From sound to gameplay it's terrific. The quality in here is unbelievable. |
| ziss (on 23 June 2008) it's a really great game-movie )) |
 | Feniris (on 22 June 2008) IF there is a decline in the American market, it's because they're waiting for the new bundle shipments.... |
| whacker41 (on 22 June 2008) JiaJia while sales most certainly won't go up, i'm not expecting a huge decline in Week 2 (except for, of course, in japan). |
| playnext3 (on 22 June 2008) yeah i agree with you lol, |
| nexzen (on 22 June 2008) imagine dis game durin da holday time wow prob wouldve sold 1mill bundles alone |
| Chavez54 (on 21 June 2008) who cares if sales decline lol? I got my copy. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 20 June 2008) Uncharted was released during the holiday season though. |
| JiaJia (on 20 June 2008) Montana ... could happen :D Look at Uncharted ... Metacritic ... should be 110 .. sif 95 ... |
| skeezer (on 20 June 2008) This game made it to 95 at metacritic |
| MontanaHatchet (on 20 June 2008) Of course it's going to decline next week. Do you expect the weekly sales to go up? |
 | fishsteaks (on 20 June 2008) Kinda worried if it will keep selling. I mean i went to gamestop in herald sq manhattan and they dunno when stocks are coming in for the 80 gb bundle. could decline in the next week... |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 20 June 2008) I love this game. |
| Kyzumi (on 20 June 2008) I'm pretty sure it will keep selling well because I assume most people that only have a Xbox 360 or Wii never played Metal Gear before. And because of this huge success most people will consider getting this game and a PS3. |
| Munkeh111 (on 20 June 2008) The gameplay is completely different, I would never have considered playing a MGS game in the past |
| leo-j (on 20 June 2008) @donwii Did you even play the game? The gameplay is dramaticly improved in this one. |
 | DonWii (on 19 June 2008) Great Story. Same Meh gameplay. |
| chinmoku (on 19 June 2008) Look and see how many bundles were sold. |
| Gearbox (on 19 June 2008) @kazuyamishima 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? |
 | TWRoO (on 19 June 2008) 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. |
| Damstr8 (on 19 June 2008) i believe that 2 million next week is very likely |
| PooperScooper (on 19 June 2008) Gearbox 110k Japan 200k Others 150k NA Next week If it wasn't Spains first week I'd say 130k in Others. |
| cla715 (on 19 June 2008) i predicted 1.7 million first week, but whatever. glad to see its selling like hot cakes in every region |
| Snake612 (on 18 June 2008) SNAKE! |
| JiaJia (on 18 June 2008) easy 2 million .... sif 100k each .. |
| kazuyamishima (on 18 June 2008) @Gearbox Others, and Americas are only Jun 12-Jun14 wich means 2-3 days only on sales, not an entire week, Japan is from Jun 12 To Jun 16 or Jun 15 |
| Gearbox (on 18 June 2008) i dont think it will reach 2 million week 2.. i think all regions sales will drop down 2 100k each |
| leo-j (on 18 June 2008) It will get to 2 million in week 2, I just hope it gets passed 4 million LTD sales. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 18 June 2008) Ahh, it's nice to see such even sales across all three regions. This should follow the sales pattern of Devil May Cry 4, although I expect MGS4 to sell better in PAL than America. |
| ruibing (on 18 June 2008) Amazing sales considering the stabbing incident in Japan, poor advertisement in the US, and trucker strike in parts of Europe. If vgchartz tracked correctly, one of those 14 millions is in my hands. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 18 June 2008) it should get to 2 million by week 3 or even week 2 by luck |
| Blaiyan (on 18 June 2008) 15th ps3 million seller, yay. |
 | Fel_Br (on 18 June 2008) As soon as I arrive in Canada I'm buying this |
| darthdevidem01 (on 18 June 2008) BLOCKBUSTER! |
 | trancos (on 18 June 2008) and now officialy million seller! |
| Gearbox (on 18 June 2008) I haven't played this game yet but I know a bunch of people who have. THEY ALL LOVE IT! |
| Chavez54 (on 18 June 2008) This game is legendary. I'm hooked. Got it yesturday and haven't stopped playing! |
| Skeeuk (on 18 June 2008) i remeber xbox fanboys, claming that mgs4 wont sell million str8 away because of the low install base lol, they keep thinking things remain the same forever. |
 | Riachu (on 18 June 2008) I am only on act 2 but so far, this game is the best PS3 game |
| NSS7 (on 18 June 2008) All 3 regions sales almost same. NA was good. Others lower than expect. Japan was so amazing. |
| mullinsmcd (on 18 June 2008) Finished it this weekend. Prior to playing I would have told most non- fans that they might not like it, but now I would say that this is a game for everyone who wants to try the stealth gameplay. Kojima could have put out a really shitty game with a good plot and I would have been satisfied, but the bar has now been raised for all games this gen and beyond. Well done Konami. |
| Snake612 (on 18 June 2008) the hype and promotion really help. congratulaions to konami. This really helped PS3 sales increase tremendously. I hope it continues for a couple of weeks. |
| Munkeh111 (on 18 June 2008) So going to guess about 1.4m WW 1st week... not bad I guess |
| chinmoku (on 18 June 2008) All the hype was worth it. |
 | Tbone (on 18 June 2008) Great sales so far didnt expect to do much more. |
 | ProChaoS (on 18 June 2008) Epic game. |
| Damstr8 (on 18 June 2008) so far im impressed with the sales i like the game as well,im only in act 1(i got it today) and its good so far.... |
| insomniac_dog (on 18 June 2008) So close to million seller, I can taste it! Japan will DEFINITELY bring it over the line. Quite frankly, this game is the best ever made :). |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 18 June 2008) All this bitching... Really makes ya wonder how freaked out people were back when MGS3 sold 180k first week in America. So far it's only a dissapointment to people who had unrealistic expectations. At least wait 'til next week for the massive dropoff. Then you can start throwing the word flop around all you like :P |
| SpeedBreaker (on 17 June 2008) if this is a flop, then you're an idiot. The game been out for 2-3 days on the chart and already people are declaring a fail. The game is excellent and its sales are excellent. |
| leo-j (on 17 June 2008) gear box the wii sells 45k in japan average. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 17 June 2008) Uhh, what are you talking about Gearbox? The difference between the PS3 and Wii this week, so far, is only 11k. The Wii would need to see a large boost to beat the PS3 in Japan. |
| Gearbox (on 17 June 2008) so we already know ps3 sold 77k in japan for consoles. The only way for he ps3 2 pass wii sales for this week is for them 2 sell under 50k! doubt that tho. |
| kazuyamishima (on 17 June 2008) @jedson328 I Agree with you, that´s a reason the people DON´t see |
| Gearbox (on 17 June 2008) do these sales include bundles? |
| kazuyamishima (on 17 June 2008) @Aprisaiden If you see the date is Jun 14 in Americas and "Others" that´s mean thats the charts for only 2-3 days between Jun 12 when they release the game and Jun 14 as you see on the date that they put the data |
| Gearbox (on 17 June 2008) only 500k in america? DAMIT |
| kingofwale (on 17 June 2008) is there a reason for Spain's delay of this game?? and for that matter, when will it be released there? 1.4 million first week, just like I predicted, good job! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 17 June 2008) @Montana so do I....as MGS3 sold the most there....also SPAIN not getting the game in time meant no 500K in sales for week 1... |
 | jedson328 (on 17 June 2008) For all those that are saying the sales are disappointing ... this isn't a full week of sales! The game will sell multiple millions, isn't that good enough for you? Its a hit, and a definitely THE reason to own a PS3. |
| Aprisaiden (on 17 June 2008) 0.93 before Japan. Looks like MGS4 will end up with 1.4 million in week 1 sales. Not what i was hoping for -- but lets see how week 2 holds up and the game should at least pass MGS3 in its lifetime. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 17 June 2008) It was the same with Devil May Cry, it was nearly tied in all 3 regions in its first week and went on to sellthe most in American and least in Japan. I expect MGS4 to sell the most in Europe, as a matter of fact. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 17 June 2008) all said n done....in the 1st week ALL 3 regions are literally tied.... JAPAN has surprised me |
| Gearbox (on 17 June 2008) 119,590 (+29%) sales in others. when u think about how much that really is you'll realize that a spike of 29% is good! |
| Skeeuk (on 17 June 2008) @jankazimierz munkeh111 already has a ps3, i know because he is on my psn buddie list |
| MontanaHatchet (on 17 June 2008) 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. And Fazz, adding a :P after what you write is like adding a =) at every opportunity (I assume you know who we're talking about). It's pretty annoying regardless. That said, don't pick on him. Fazz is the man. |
| Mike92r (on 17 June 2008) Ahhhh MGS4, it i think il a month the game the most sell for PS3 it will moe sold than GTA IV and a good Millions Sellers :D So Happy for PS3 |
| fazz (on 17 June 2008) @jankazimierz What, didn't you saw the ":P"? |
| Half_life000111 (on 17 June 2008) Yea, this data is wrong..... it says that the sales are in other areas while it's not... the sale figures are for Japan only ....http://ps3.ign.com/articles/882/882248p1.html |
| Zuhyc (on 17 June 2008) But Munkeh is right, the sales are dissapointing and MGS deserves better. That said, how ironic that this game sells more in Japan :D I do think next week European sales will be higher than the Japanese. |
| jankazimierz (on 17 June 2008) Munkeh111 and fazz - Please stop trolling and just get a job so you can buy a PS3 and play this awesome game. |
| kamil (on 17 June 2008) Enterbrain (Famitsu) released preliminary figure (includes bundles).: 476,000 PS3 hardware: 77,000 |
| Munkeh111 (on 17 June 2008) It was released 1 day earlier in Europe than most games are |
| playnext3 (on 17 June 2008) 430k in just 2days its awesome |
| sayen25 (on 17 June 2008) best game ever |
 | rukusa (on 17 June 2008) Man this is one of the best games Ive ever played... ...and one of the best conclusions to a series. |
| reggie2 (on 17 June 2008) Zuhyc is exactly right and it's those first TWO DAYS that are the most important for sales forcasts but MGS4 has had that extra day for those figures.. |
| Munkeh111 (on 17 June 2008) Muchlower than I expected |
 | Psymatiq (on 17 June 2008) next week gonna be huge mgs 4 wise. 5 of my friends didnt even know that mgs was realesed yet and went down to buy it. Havent had contact to em since. |
 | Whitecum101 (on 16 June 2008) i dont think this numbers are right cause thet said that is sold 1.3 million the first day. 0ver 350 Japan and over 400 Americas so it would have to like 500k in Europe to reach 1.3mil and its been a couple days |
| fazz (on 16 June 2008) It didn't outsell Halo 3, so... bomb confirmed. :P |
| Aprisaiden (on 16 June 2008) Stange the first day sales VGchartz had MGS4 @ 550k in Europe... ohhwell- 450k is still preety good. Next week will be interesting though. |
| Gearbox (on 16 June 2008) half a million in others? what's disappointing about that? next week it will be around 200k i bet |
| Zuhyc (on 16 June 2008) Lol why is everyone using that 'it's only been available for 2 days' excuse on every big title? I mean, most games in EU get release on a friday, while MGS 4 was relaesed on thursday. It actually had a day extra! These sales are somewhat dissapointing. They are what I expected a week ago, but the VGChartz first day sales made me think the first week sales would be higher. |
| Whitecum101 (on 16 June 2008) if they had this game in Spain is would sold a lot more but I think it will sale just as much in the second week |
| playnext3 (on 16 June 2008) mgs 4 2million in other alone LTD |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 16 June 2008) I would have expected the 1st week of this game to be a lot higher than this, but since it was only available for 2 days the number isn't bad! |
 | PS360ForTheWin (on 16 June 2008) wow, 430k in 2 days |
| Gearbox (on 16 June 2008) also, how do u "Hit" a game? |
| Gearbox (on 16 June 2008) For those who don't no the game has brought american consoles sales 2 400 000 and 350 000 in japan, if i read the post right. I wonder what others will bring, MAYBE 1 MIL! thats a dream i'm doubting it will make but still it would be awesome! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 16 June 2008) @birchy8624 thats a very reasonable prection |
| Skeeuk (on 16 June 2008) best game ever, only 360 fanboys are trying to play this down but thier plans will fail. |
| jerseyboy609 (on 16 June 2008) 15th million seller in the bag ;) |
| Munkeh111 (on 16 June 2008) I think it will sell whatever the prelim said in japan, 1m in US, 1.2m in others |
| birchy8624 (on 16 June 2008) I predict this game will sell 600k in japan, 1 mill in america and 800k in other in the first week. For hardware it should bring it up to about 350k |
| blazinhead89 (on 15 June 2008) Best game experience ever! |
 | HanzoTheRazor (on 15 June 2008) What a game... kinda feel sorry to all the "ONLOOKERS" who will never play it though. If they only gave it a chance, oh well, I'm not missing out, hehehe. :p Oh, and to the people who doubted it in software and HW sales, tch tch, like... we all want more excuses. |
| leo-j (on 15 June 2008) Easily my GOTY |
 | nodirt (on 15 June 2008) Best next Gen game for sure. Until next. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 15 June 2008) Finished it. One of the greatest games ever. |
| Gearbox (on 15 June 2008) deep down inside everyone knew that the ps3 would win. besides 15 %ish of the 360 sales are just units that were replacing the RROD or other errors. so there are really only 16-17 million 360s |
 | solojohlo (on 15 June 2008) Bigger than anyone expected (except crazzyman) |
| Snake612 (on 15 June 2008) The start of PS3 domination begins. Lets hope it'll last for a long time. |
| Aprisaiden (on 15 June 2008) excellent first day sales - week 1 sales should be interesting 2 mil. prob ... |
| Gearbox (on 14 June 2008) 400,000 bundles in america, makes it the top selling console of the week. that doesn't even involve japan or others! HAHAHA amazing |
| akuma587 (on 14 June 2008) 2 million first week is definitely plausible if Day 1 sales were this high. |
| Slimebeast (on 14 June 2008) Finally it's released. And in a few weeks we don't have to read about it everywhere. |
| DMeisterJ (on 14 June 2008) 1.3 million day 1. 2.0 million week one? |
 | Lastgengamer (on 14 June 2008) First week in Japan should be about 600k |
| Gamer4eva (on 14 June 2008) I predict about 2 million for first week, Go snake |
| Snake612 (on 14 June 2008) i hope it will sell 3 million in first week |
 | finalsquall (on 14 June 2008) Next gen has now started with MGS4 \m/ |
| Snake612 (on 14 June 2008) This game is absolutely great. I played it for 6 hours. I didn't want the game to overheat. i bought it at the mall at gamestop. The graphics and gameplay ar awesome. |
| Q_A_X (on 14 June 2008) SNAAAAAKE |
| ruibing (on 13 June 2008) Got it at CircuitCity with a free copy of the official strategy guide. Anyone near a store should go check it out before they run out. |
| FinalEvangelion (on 13 June 2008) The game of the generation. |
 | IllegalPaladin (on 13 June 2008) I've been playing it for hours upon hours now and I'm loving it. |
 | squall747 (on 13 June 2008) One of the best games this generation. Great job to Hideo Kojima and the rest of the team at Konami. |
| Dark Odin (on 13 June 2008) so, 300k first day in Japan. 2nd week should be hoosd also, because the first only will count 3 days. |
| *bleu-ocelot* (on 13 June 2008) @Okey-This one is real different. |
 | boycop (on 13 June 2008) Even though I'm not a MGS fan. This game is amazing. Highly recommended! |
| darthdevidem01 (on 13 June 2008) BEST GAME of THIS GENERATION (BEats SMG) |
| Feniris (on 13 June 2008) Already 85 owners? Crazy... |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 13 June 2008) Damn it, this happens with every MGS game. I watch a bunch of videos and of course, it looks incredibly, unbeleivably amazing. But then when I finally play them they end up putting me to sleep. Who knows though, maybe this one will be different :) |
| Deviation59 (on 13 June 2008) Fucking amazing. Just fucking amazing. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 12 June 2008) 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. |
| SpartanFX (on 12 June 2008) this games is the best game everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 20/10 ;) |
 | Domo-Kun (on 12 June 2008) I grabbed the limited edition. Best. Game. Ever. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 12 June 2008) Just started act 2. Simply breathtaking. |
 | nextgreatchamp (on 12 June 2008) nextgreatchamp says "this game ROCKS!!!" |
 | thelastsoldier (on 12 June 2008) i just copped my copy about a couple of hours ago.....THIS is the game the PlayStation 3 has been waiting on......Its GameTime people lets get busy, lol Will anyone play Metal Gear Online....add me on PSN: SoldierofVirtue |
| nomorehalo (on 12 June 2008) 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. |
| Dark Odin (on 12 June 2008) the limited edition is easy to find for you in NA?? |
| Munkeh111 (on 12 June 2008) Will be coming tommorow morning, blockbuster was sold out.. |
| Skeeuk (on 12 June 2008) superb game, absolutly stunning, i like the sleeve thats comes with it also, i predict opening week sales as good, but will have strong legs up till xmas when people will go out and buy a ps3 with mgs4 |
| colonelstubbs (on 12 June 2008) I own this game! Woooo! |
 | FailureIsNotAnOption (on 12 June 2008) I want the reg. edition box art to mgs4 because more people will have that one anyway,plus when halo 3 came out the limited edition box art wasn't put in the game database-only the reg. edition of it is in there. 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. |
 | Jessman (on 12 June 2008) I'm in love with this game, by far the best game of 2008. I like the PAL box art better though. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 12 June 2008) Eyy, whatcha gonna do. Popular games are popular games. |
 | famousringo (on 12 June 2008) There are only ten threads about this game on the front page right now. I kinda love these launch frenzies. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 12 June 2008) Wow, I scoped so many gaming sites for the box art. Thanks hot stuff. |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 12 June 2008) Jeez Montana, ever heard of Google Image search? |
| finalsquall (on 11 June 2008) Woot - loving it... opening scene was cool as. the install was nothing :D |
| Dark Odin (on 11 June 2008) few hours... I only will put my hand on it next week. (I live in Brazil) |
| MontanaHatchet (on 11 June 2008) Ehh, that box art is not very good. The problem being that I can't find the special edition to save my life. |
| smiles123 (on 11 June 2008) "Im no hero never was im just an old killer carrying out some wetworks" wise words from solid snake |
| Jessman (on 11 June 2008) Got it on the 9th, brilliant. |
| Blaiyan (on 11 June 2008) Alright. You're the GDA. It's on you. |
| squall747 (on 11 June 2008) Metal Gear Solid man it's been way to long. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 10 June 2008) To be honest, OkeyDokey is pretty much allowed to do whatever he wants. |
| Slimebeast (on 10 June 2008) I predict 94% on Gamerankings, and near 5 million copies lifetime sales. 650K in NA 1st week. 750K in Europe/others. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 10 June 2008) 26 HOURS TO GO! |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 10 June 2008) The Hudson River two tears ago. Not long now Pliskin |
| --OkeyDokey-- (on 10 June 2008) OMG 10 hours left! If I cared about this game I'd be pretty excited right now. |
 | DreadRaptor85 (on 09 June 2008) Pre ordered the 80GB bundle with MGS4. |
| darthdevidem01 (on 09 June 2008) SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEE!!! |
| cla715 (on 09 June 2008) i predict an 800k opening in america, 400 k in japan, and 650 k in europe |
 | Sicilian. (on 08 June 2008) 4 days |
 | .:Dark Prince:. (on 08 June 2008) Ugh i can't take this anymore i need it NOW!!! :'( |
| blazinhead89 (on 07 June 2008) GOTY Contender |
| Munkeh111 (on 07 June 2008) Or if you ordered from play you could already have it |
| SpartanFX (on 05 June 2008) 7 more days to sneak out |
| Gearbox (on 01 June 2008) I can't wait for this 2 come out because I think many people are goign to get a ps3 when it comes out because of the new bundle pack. That's also why I think ps3 sales are falling they all want this and not motor storm. |
| DeadOnArrival06 (on 31 May 2008) I just pre-ordered this bad boy. I can't wait. |
| SpartanFX (on 31 May 2008) 12 more days to go |
| segajon (on 29 May 2008) i can start to smell it, and it smells gr8. |
| skeezer (on 29 May 2008) Cant wait for this game, 14 more days!! |
| Str8knox (on 24 May 2008) 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. |
| nomorehalo (on 22 May 2008) @Squall_Leonhart - I guess we can only dream, but I preordered and will be buying the game yet I don't (and won't) own a PS3 (I'll find a way to play it)! Getting ready for the GTAIV shattering sales! |
| iron_megalith (on 19 May 2008) 24 days more to go!!!! |
| boycop (on 17 May 2008) @Captian_Twig as you are not even interested in PS3 (and MGS is PS exclusive), what a surprising comment. Way to go, Captian_Twig! And the world is full of idiots! |
| Dark Odin (on 15 May 2008) I think it might be at the launch week, 200-300k in Japan, 700-800 in Europe and above 1 million in NA. |
 | Marty8370 (on 14 May 2008) Have just pre-ordered MGS4 for only £34.93, can't wait. |
| iron_megalith (on 13 May 2008) 30 days more to go!!!! |
| colonelstubbs (on 12 May 2008) Snake is ready to take over the world! |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 10 May 2008) Already seeing game cases for this in the UK stores, should get a lot of advertising nearer the launch! :D |
 | Red*Pokemon*Trainer (on 02 May 2008) 1 million WW first day! |
| FaRmLaNd (on 19 April 2008) This is going to be huge. |
| Squall_Leonhart (on 19 April 2008) I wonder how many copies this game will sell on release :D |
| Deviation59 (on 10 April 2008) I came here just to add that new, sexy, sexy boxart. Glad to see it's already here. And I'm even more glad that I've already pre-ordered the LE. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 10 April 2008) Oh god, thank you! |
 | ssj12 (on 10 April 2008) changed to real final limited edition boxart |
| playnext3 (on 10 April 2008) it was confimed thats is the final boxart |
| MontanaHatchet (on 07 April 2008) Do what? |
| Blaiyan (on 07 April 2008) Nice. How did you do that? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 06 April 2008) Well there are only 3, so "one of the best" is pretty vague. It's not as bad as some people say though. |
 | kasillas88 (on 06 April 2008) I first thought this boxart sucked but Im starting to think its one of the best boxarts IMO. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 06 April 2008) Done! |
| Blaiyan (on 04 April 2008) The system had an error in it so you had to put the rd a day late to show up as the actual date. I wish I could edit the boxart and put the NA version up. |
| leo-j (on 04 April 2008) It was montana he is the one.. |
| tombi123 (on 28 March 2008) Who the hell put the release date as the 13th of June? |
| bigjon (on 25 March 2008) looks good, did never have liked MGS games though... |
| MANUELF (on 24 March 2008) Is one of the better ranking games and is not out yet, Fanboys stop voting. |
| Deviation59 (on 24 March 2008) I want this game so very, very badly. Only GTA IV can even compare for the level of anticipation I have for MGS4. |
| Soriku (on 22 March 2008) Not out yet and already 241 votes. Stop ranking games you've never played, let alone out yet. |
| HanzoTheRazor (on 18 March 2008) Sorry playnext3, I didn't relize you were quoting dumbasskira. I'm new to this, so please forgive me... |
| HanzoTheRazor (on 18 March 2008) I believe that this is the first real Metal Gear to be either complete action, or stealth it's up to the player. Also, you can either play 3rd or first person right through the game. Lets look at history; all Metal Gear Games have been killers and amazing sellers too. Anyone who doubts this game is a MORON! Can't wait. Oh, and "won't sell systems"....another MORON who probably dosn't even own a PS3. If this won't sell harware, what will? |
| HanzoTheRazor (on 18 March 2008) Yeh right KeptoKnight.....if it did come on the box, it would be on 4 or 5 discs. Dream on mate and get a PS3, or can't you afford one? Real gamers play all games from all systems, and don't bag out one or the other, thats for losers with no life and way too much time on their hands. Too bad if you don't, or can't, you just are missing out! |
| playnext3 (on 18 March 2008) Frozen says: 1million per day lol funny (-: |
| Munkeh111 (on 15 March 2008) How stealth is this game? Cause I really don't like stealth games, but I am also feeling that I cannot consider myself a true gamer if I don't get this game |
 | Lone_Canis_Lupus (on 15 March 2008) Some people play dirty tricks and take whatever trumps they can on the competition. Kind of like politics. |
 | Username2324 (on 14 March 2008) They need to turn voting off for a game until it releases, this is getting ridiculous, all the game ratings on this site are completely false, might as well get rid of them if people don't have the integrity to vote honestly. |
 | metra (on 11 March 2008) 10/10 best game ever made lolz |
| erikguy (on 10 March 2008) This game>pwn |
 | Christhor (on 07 March 2008) Dudes it's not the final box art :o |
| DMeisterJ (on 06 March 2008) This is going to be exactly like Uncharted. Everyone is going to try to give this game a one, but enough tens will come in, to keep it afloat. I'm predicting it will cross eight, and settle at 8.10. This game is *too* good. No, I have not voted yet, as the game hasn't came out. |
 | Harry Angel (on 04 March 2008) It's classic Shinkawa. Reminds me of the boxart for MGS1. Which is a good thing, believe me. |
| tombi123 (on 04 March 2008) I retract my earlier statement, it is really good boxart. |
| makingmusic476 (on 03 March 2008) I can't believe no one has updated the boxart yet. It was unveiled a week ago! *goes and does it myself* |
| playnext3 (on 03 March 2008) this game roles |
| DMeisterJ (on 29 February 2008) I agree with MontanaHatchet. This game WILL define a generation, only fourteen weeks to go. |
| TyePhoid_PAL (on 26 February 2008) People saying this will flop are basing it on the standard that they want this game but cant afforf a PS3. Pathetic. I'm sure when the Wii gets the next Zelda I wont slate it. I will get one and not be bitter. |
 | Frozen (on 09 February 2008) 1million per day ! |
| StarcraftManiac (on 26 January 2008) ^^... Sweet! I own a PS3 now... This thing won't sell nearly as good as the other (older) versions but it'll be a great game nonetheless!... I'll buy it! :-)... |
| adriano999 (on 02 January 2008) Game of the Year! |
| Grass (on 22 December 2007) There should be interest rating like in gamerankings and after the game is released then switch to the normal rating. Or disable ratings until the game is released. |
| Globox82 (on 22 December 2007) How can people vote for game that is like 6 or more months away? |
 | Faxanadu (on 10 December 2007) maybe people are rating the really bad box art? |
| tombi123 (on 09 December 2007) this game will sell about 4-5M lifetime, and sell an extra 150-200k PS3's world wide. |
| tombi123 (on 09 December 2007) @Jessman you have to kidding right? |
 | Kasz216 (on 08 December 2007) I can't tell which is worse. That this game has what many people would call a very bad average review score, or that it's one of the highest rated PS3 games on the site. 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. |
| tombi123 (on 04 December 2007) didn't the ratings used to be disabled if the game hadn't been released? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 21 November 2007) How about just disable ratings altogether? No offense, but the community of Vgchartz has shown that it's not very smart, and this is just one example of it. |
 | omgwtfbbq (on 19 November 2007) here's an idea ioi. For any game with 0 sales and no release date, or a release date into the future, you should disable ratings. At least that will stop people rating games that aren't even out yet =) |
 | Dallinor (on 19 November 2007) hey look. Yay! people giving bad scores to a game that hasn't even been released yet :D. I love people. |
| MontanaHatchet (on 18 November 2007) 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. |
| tombi123 (on 18 November 2007) I hope the game is better than the box art... |
 | pakidan101 (on 18 November 2007) How is it that this game has a rating already? |
| MontanaHatchet (on 17 November 2007) The game to define this generation. |
