Best selling PS3 game? 5 million?How sad.

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

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?

What's sad ( to me ) is that 5 million copies sold means that only roughly 1 out of every 7 people who own a PS3 have purchased MGS4... this game should be enjoyed by every PS3 owner... they shouldn't even sell you a PS3 unless you agree to buy MGS4...

Considering Sony's biggest game isn't out, it is pretty impressive

How many of the 5 million people who bought Gears 2 still have it? It's a pretty common bargain bin game at Gamestop.

In his mind, why not? It didn't sell as much as Halo 3, so you should sell it. :P

EndorphinMaster

I'm sure some bought the PS3 as a BluRay player when it was pretty much the best deal for one on the market.

But here's some interesting math for you.

The 360 has a tie ratio of ~8.8, on 38.7 million consoles sold, indicating 340.6 million units of software moved over a period of 4.25 years, or roughly 80.1 million software units per year since launch.

The PS3 has a tie ratio of ~7.6, on 33.5 million consoles sold, indicating 256.4 million units of software moved over a period of 3.25 years, 2.75 years in Europe, so an average 3 years, or roughly 84.9 million software units per year since launch.

MGS4 still have many haters, it has been 2 years, and yet lemmings are still willing to pay anything to have it on their x360.

keep on hating and bashing the game, what you want will never happen.

Good sales for a good game. But they seriously need to give it trophies. I'd love just one more reason to go back and play that game!

Wasn't it already at 4.something million sold at the end of 2008? A few hundred thousand copies sold in a year is not so bad.

Well I don't think any game has ever sold a single copy on the 360.

See, I can make claims with nothing to back them up too

I wouldn't buy it and I won't buy Rising either.

I never attempted MGS3 for my PS2, so it's totally the object of my envy:roll:

I have priorities. Like MechWarrior.

Good for them, though I think Uncharted 2 should probably be both the most critically acclaimed and the best-selling PS3 title. I'm really shocked at how poorly it has sold -- it hasn't outdone Assassin's Creed II, for God's sake, and it's a much better game than ACII (which itself is a very good title). I don't get why the Uncharted series doesn't have mass-market appeal -- it's not a hardcore game like Demon's Souls, nor does it have limited appeal in the way a title like Heavy Rain would.

And yet they still won't make trophies for it

RedCat65
Trophies? I want a theater mode. First time I beat it, I thought there would be a theater mode...silly of my to assume. So I had to beat the whole game over again just for one stupid cutscene. But I did it right this time, I made a different save game right before each great cutscene. I understand the reason they don't have a theater mode is because the game "installs" over the previous act each time to switch acts, but I would gladly give up my entire HDD for a theater mode.

The best selling exclusive for the PlayStation 3 is from a 3rd party. Good stuff. It should certainly entice other developers. It's also nice to see that Sony has to compete for space on its own platform.

Great news for Konami, hopefully this is a sign that if a game is great it will still sell!
