mgs 4 drops out of top 10 u.s. games sales charts!

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6195969.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1

wtf? after such a stellar launch of the game where it almost sold 1 million copies in the u.s. alone, it tottaly dropped out of the top 10 charts. that is super baffling to me. with a growing userbase, i just don't see what happened. don't tell me everyone that wanted mgs4 already got one.

any thoughts?

yea it doesn't appeal like halo or gta, but its the flagship game for ps3. just can't believe ps3's first AAA exclusive only gets love for one month.

but it does say something those ps3 gamers who love their exclusives. konami mite want to port to make more money.

thats what i'm saying.

but i don't know how you can make the fanbase an excuse or the low user base. its supposed to appeal to a wider audience and a blockbuster seller. i'm guessing even mgs3 had a better 2 month start than mgs4

what r u sayin? mgs3 sold 3.7 million copies, mgs4 has sold more than 4 in one month

NPD dosn't include bundled software.

MGS4 shipped between 3.5 and 3.7 million copies in June --> if Konima manage to ship another million for the 3 months ending 30st September then they will be extremly pleased with MGS4's sales. Afterall MGS3 failed to break the 5 million barrier -- while MGS4 should do that easily.

well, the bundles are still flying off the shells.

I knew thins game was going to sell like 4.5 million copies, which is very, VERY good.

It's a bummer.

I'm still playing through campaign mode, and I continue to being amazed and awed with how beautifully done this game is.

It is indeed a shame that the MGS series is no Halo or Grand Theft Auto, but it doesn't mean those two are better of this. Sales don't make the better game.

Not to bash Halo or GTA or anything - which games are better is really up to personal opinion.
But for me, MGS4 totally wins.

I'm not surprise at all, even if though I still see those MGS4 tv ads.

Well, MGS4 has had impressive sales. And wait for the holiday season, sales will start to go up again.

Perhaps unsurprisingly the game is doing much better in Europe, where the PS3 is much more popular (more PS3s sold than X360s).

Anyway, I'll say it again. EVERY Playstation 3 owner should buy MGS4. It's just one of those games that will always be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

The link you provided no longer works... could it be gamespot is retracting the story?

If not ppl have already posted answers as to why this is happening. MGS4 has already done amazingly well but yea, its not going to be as mainstream as games like halo, gta or mario, thats just how it is. Shame too as the game is soooo AMAZING!

ohwell MGS4 had a good run.

Huh! in the UK it sale's like hell
