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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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...

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

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.

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....

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.

@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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It all looks abit suspicious, thats all.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
