"Konami reported that the Metal Gear series had sold 4.33 million units from April 1 to September 30, 2008."

taken from: http://www.konami.co.jp/zaimu/0809/english/supplemental.pdf#page=5

So, just wait till the end of April to compare the sales of these two games (that's when the same amount of the time will pass after the release date), oh and that 3 million figure was shipped, not sold.

Really you have to wonder how many copies actually sold from april to may. 50K of the previous metal gears max.

[QUOTE="byge"]Take out The Agency and DC Universe Online. After seeing sony fans whine about 360 games not being exclusive due to them being on pc as well you gotta wonder. :|WatchmenWatchUs

[QUOTE="deathtoallgods"]Honestly TC, do you want a cookie? What does that prove? MGS4 got a 10 too.Fumpa

I remember people saying it would outsell MGS4's lifetime sales first month. Doesnt appear that way, Still great sales for a great game. I think it and MGS4 will sell about the same in lifetime sales.

The problem is that MGS4 stopped selling too fast

Gears of War 2 -- 3.30 million

MGS4 -- 3.50 million

Gears of War 1 -- 5.50 million

As you see, Gears 2 is already almost at MGS4 number after a few weeks, and had a 3x better startup than Gears 1, which reached 5.50 million, so Gears 2 could go to 7-8 million by its life end, far surpassing MGS4 numbers

And Gears 2 does that wihtout counting japan sales at all, while MGS4 has 500.000+ sales in Japan, so its numbers come from 3 major regions, unlike Gears 2 that covers two regions only

Now imagine how much better Gears 2 is selling than MGS4 in Europe and US

What about handheld games?

Nobody is talking about that... yet it's pirated to death.
