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.

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.

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

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

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? :/

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 posted 18/07/2008, 04:27
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...

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.

IF there is a decline in the American market, it's because they're waiting for the new bundle shipments....

while sales most certainly won't go up, i'm not expecting a huge decline in Week 2 (except for, of course, in japan).

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.

@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 posted 19/06/2008, 12:00
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.

If it wasn't Spains first week I'd say 130k in Others.

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.

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.

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.

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
