Wow impressive...especially when you remember back before MGS4 came out, many said that MGS doesn't sell, or move consoles as a Killer App.

Go Snake!

-----------

In before Wii Fit, COD, or Halo Comparison's! :P

In before it's declared this is a poor, sad sales number...:P

Best selling PS3 game? 5 million? How sad.

This just proves that a large percent of PS3 owners bought the console mainly for Bluray.

EndorphinMaster

Yeah, it's very sad. :( :cry:

When it comes to thinking of the word "sad", this will probably be the first thing that pops in me noggin'! :P

It's a coincidence probably too...but I was just telling my buddy, Chadwick Reginald P. Gooberwinkler not even a fortnight ago that 5,000,000 :shock: (FIVE Freakin' Million:o ) is a very depressing number with regards to anything...what a small world.:lol:

I must confess, having one of the best Blu-Ray players on the market is a huge plus, for HDTV owners. I can understand their dilemma.;)

Are you looking forward to Zone of the Enders 3 being announced, or are you waiting for Metal Gear Peacewalker or Metal Gear Rising?

You know the 360 fanboys, PS3 games could sell 10 million each but as long as Halo has sold 10 Million and 1, PS3 games don't sell well enough.

You forget man. This is SW. If it doesn't sell like Halo then it sucks. So what if every other game besides a handful can sell over 10M copies... :roll:

I am very happy that over 5 million people got to play one of the finest games this gen, oh who am I kidding THE finest game this gen. Here's hoping MGS4 can exceed MGS2 numbers, and that we get a trophy patch, that would surely make it sell another million, lol.

Of the major systems I'm aware of, the PS3 has one of the lower limits on best selling game. 5 million is actually amazing for a single game, I'm just comparing. The Cube, Old box, PS2, PS1, N64, Wii and 360 are all above it comparing 2 gens back. Its not bad (as I said its a solidnumber) but I'm simply commenting in comparison fashion lol. Halo and Mario kart are simply different beasts.

When GT5 comes out it will be the best selling exclusive on the PS3. I think it will surpass 9 million units.

I think they are taking so long because they are guarenteed to make all their money back and then some. As for me I lack a PS3 and sim aren't really my thing tbh.

Konami is certainly happy as the exclusive PS3 game is now above 5 million units sold making it the best selling PS3 exclusive

Same here. I will not buy some older games from 2007ish that lack trophy support. I know this is lame, but I really do enjoy that little "ting" when I am awarded a trophy. There is so much enjoyment for me. Of course, I bought games before the trophy support, but I like it so much more now with them.

I do :D (assuming that you meant "still own") bought it one month after launch. I sort of regret it since it's budget price now but it was great and lasted me until R2.
