MGS is one of these games exclusivity matters.

It's a good game, I got it for free on my Xbone. Not surprised it isn't setting the world on fire, but it's good.

Because there is absolutely no connection between shipments and sales obviously 

/s

I believe it could have sold more if Ground Zeroes didn't come out and if it were PS4 exclusive. Because those are the only things I can see differently here besides the digital aspect.

I mean PS3 only had 13m consoles on the market at the time. Not being able to beat that with 5 platforms is telling.

Is that good compared to MGS4? MGS4 was only on PS3, which had a much much lower install base than the install base MGSV is shipping to. I suspect though that the first shipment will sell through faster than MGS4, I can't imagine MGSV only selling as much as MGS4 across all those platforms, and I'm pretty sure MGSV on PS4 will outsell MGS4 on PS3.

I would like to see the PS4 first week totals for comparison.

As it's already been pointed out, three million units were shipped, but MGS5 was available for pre-load/order through PSN and I believe the numbers for DD buys were not an insignificant total (I bought digital personally).

I would also like to see the Steam/PC numbers, which will be almost entirely PC sales.

There was next to no inventory made for the PC version, yet the game is being used to promote the sales of Nvidia cards.

"A whopping 72% of MGS 5 sales were on PS4, while Xbox One was at 22%. That's a serious divide when it comes to the console of choice. 3% of sales were on PS3, while 2% were on Xbox 360."
