To be honest, even Japanese Peace walker sales aren't that great all things considered imo. Konami really went out of their way to try and make it a game that would expand the MGS audience and appeal to the active PSP base (co-op, MoHun tie-in, etc) and it still seems like it's only sold to the same series faithful. Series sales comparisons...

MGS1: 705k
MGS2: 798k
MGS3: 820k
MGS4: 706k
MGS5: 728k

...and with rereleases and budget reprints...

MGS1: 905k
MGS2: 1127k
MGS3: 1118k
MGS4: 853k
MGS5: 728k

That sucks. Another PSP flop in the US. Then again I haven't bought a new PSP game in almost a year.

It's just that simple.

I recently went to a popular bit torrent site, I am not going to name the site because I don't want to encourage anyone else to download the game for free. But from what I could see the game is very popular with over 300k downloads. I forwarded all the info to Konami, I just hope they read it and fine all those A holes 10k each per game they stole.

If shio has taught me anything it's that any downloadable game shall be assumed to have sold a billion copies until proven otherwise (unless it's on XBLA).
