GTA4 since it's multiplatform, but it's going to be a huge seller regardless. I personally don't like the GTA series but most likely GTA4 will probably be the biggest selling game of 2008.

As much as I'd love MGS4 to sell more, GTA IV will be the winner.

I can't wait for MGS4, but...

GTA IV, it won't even be a competition. GTA is probably the most popular franchise right now, probably moreso than Halo.

On PS3 only, should be neck and neck. But, if you include 360 GTA, then GTA wins by a longshot.

There won't be any comparison, especially since GTAIV is going to the 360 as well.

GTAIV may break sales records, even though after SA, I don't know how people can still think these games are so great. Same damn thing every game since GTA3. Vice City was an upgrade, SA did nothing special and added some really stupid features. I have low expectations for GTAIV and most likely will never buy it. These games sell so well, not just because they are(used to be) fun, but because it's the epitome of games when it comes to 13-15 year olds sneaking to buy or begging their parents to buy the game for them because it's "so cool."

Anyway, I'm just ranting. MGS4 WILL be a better game, but it has no chance to sell near as many copies. In a couple-three years when ps3 is dominating the market, and people realize just how amazing MGS4 was, MGS5 could break through, too bad there won't be one.

I am a bigger MGS fan , but GTA IV will double MGS4's sales (at least). That is just counting the ps3's GTA IV sales.

i wont say its more popular than halo, but its definitely in the same league. and i think GTA IV will easily outsell MGS4, even on ps3. the mgs series is great, but i think its more of a required taste, where as the GTA games appeal to a larger group of gamers. both great, great games though.

I realize this is the last-gen of Halo, but we can't compare current gen at the moment.

Top Sales Figures from 2004 - console games

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2) - 5.1 million
2. Halo 2 (Xbox) - 4.2 million
3. Madden NFL 2005 (PS2) - 3.2 million
4. ESPN NFL 2K5 (PS2) - 1.5 million
5. Need for Speed Underground 2 (PS2) - 1.4 million
6. Pokémon FireRed (with adapter) (GBA) - 1.2 million
7. NBA Live 2005 (PS2) - 1.2 million
8. Spider-Man 2 (PS2) - 1.1 million
9. Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox) - 1.1 million
10. ESPN NFL 2K5 (Xbox)- 1.0 million

Other than GTAIV being multiplat, it also has much more mass market appeal and should run circles around MGS4. I wouldn't be surprised to see it triple MGS4's sales.

I think the MGS series does its job better than any other series in the genre--its main competition being the Splinter Cell games-- but I don't see how GTA IV wont outsell it. GTA IV has a mass appeal to people because it can bea game that makes you think, or a game where you don't need to think at the same time. Some people buy the game and never do most the missions. They just want to run around and kill people for fun. You can't really do that in MGS and get satisfaction out of it.

I would say GTAIV will sell more due to the fact it is more widely known. Like i would say 95% of people at my school would have heard of GTA, but maybe 5%, if that, would know what MGS is.

if they were both multi-platform.

probably theft auto.. cuz even though MGS has unparalleled story quality in a game, you more or less create your own story-feel in GTA so GTa ftw.

i think GTAIV will beat MGS4 by a mile. MGS is more of a niche market than gta, and everyone hu has ever played a videogame has heard of GTA. ill still be buying both though.

GTA 4,cause you dont have to play the previous gta's to really get into the game,whereas a lot of people might be discouraged from playing mgs4 cause of it's long and convoluted story line that spans 3 games(they are really missing something though)...I'll be getting both.....hey wait I got get a ps3 first...:(

GTA IV. It has a much bigger audience (And I'm not just talking about consoles, the genre has a much bigger audience compared to MGS4)

If GTA IV gets AO, then that would be different. Go Jack Thompson go, make MGS4 the winner this year :)

If you mean just PS3 then MGS4... all PS3 owners in Japan will buy this game while none of them will buy GTA4... if you mean total then GTA4 because a majority of 360 owners in the US will buy GTA4... and there are 13,000,000 360's in the USA...

Without a doubt GTAIV will sell more than MGS4. The reasons for this are many, but game quality is not one of them.

Maybe I should have my ps3 taken away but I'm really looking forward to gta4 and not so much mgs4, but of course I'll buy both and most likely be pretty impressed by MGS4. If you look back the ps2, the GTA games were higher quality than the MGS games (sorry but its the truth) I guess we will find out when they are released. My prediction is GTA wins, but not by much, because of its broader appeal.

I'm sorry my friend, but I'm not able to agree with that one. :) GTA is more popular in USA market (only) for many reasons, but it's not the quality of the game, especially not when compared to Metal Gear Franchise :)

If GTA sells more copies than MGS on the PS3 (only), then I officially lost all hope in humanity.

The GTA series became garbage stemming back to Vice City.

I'm pretty sure GTA4 will sell more then MGS4 because it's more casual and well known, this doesn't mean MGS4 will sell poorly because truth be told GTA4 will sell higher then every other game. MGS4 will no doubt be the highest selling exclusive title by year end.

GTA4 will sell many times more IMHO. The 3 GTA games last gen were the number 1, 2 and 3 games sold. I doubt any MGS game was even in the top 10 sold last gen.

lmao GTA is definately more popular than Halo...come on the first GTA IV trailer shut down the internet...and that was just a trailer. To the topic though GTA IV will sell more since its multiplat.

u say it like its way more popular, when actually it isnt. and considering GTA:SA came out a few weeks before halo 2 that year, the sells are about equal. u cant just say GTA is definitely more popular without bringing up some facts. atleast that other guy gave those facts.
