MGS4 sells 1.3 million units day one-And of those 1.3 M units, 70k of them were the MGS4 bundle. Pretty impressive that 70 thousand people coincidentally decided to buy the PS3's $500 High-End model, all on the same day, when there was a model $100 dollars cheaper.
It also pushed the PS3s NPD numbers up to 405.5k for that month. Now, I understand Halo 3 pushed the 360s NPD to 500k+, but understand, these things.
The PS3 was 150$ more at the timeThe 360s sales came from base model 360s (The pro was the real base model back then, as the arcade was a HUGE rippof, much more than ithe arcade we know today.The Bulk of the PS3s sales came from not the base model........but the HIGH END model, which was 500$! And even then, there were MAJOR shortages, retailers claimed sony could have sold 3-4x as many bundles if they shipped them, and they could be found NO-WHERE after june 19th (the game came out june 12th)The number i just gave you was NPD numbers, which is only the US. The bulk of Halo 3s sales came from the US, where as Metal Gear Solid has a HUGE fanbase in not only the US, but Europe and Japan, where halo/360s fanbase didnt compete at the time (also remeber, the PS3's EUROPE installbase was > 360's at this time)
I know this post is gonna get ass raped by halo fanboys, but just take a look at this game.

No need really. If you're trying to make MGS4 look as impressive as Halo, then stop it. Youre failing :lol: At least aim for something more reachable.
[QUOTE="computern3rd"]Nice, go Snake! Can we get some stats that show us how many copies it has sold and how many people are playing it now, 1 year after release? Not sure about sold, but it gets about 70k players a day i think
Im glad you didnt put the PS3 in the poll, knowing right well its nowhere near the best platform this generation:) Probably the worst actually, i have more fun on wii sports.
