I'll make this prediction: It will sell better worldwide opening week (or even month) but in lifetime sales, GTA IV will definitely outsell it. @Fastyxx: Higher userbase, lower attach rate. MGS 4 will attach much better than MGS 3, plus first MGS of the gen, etc.

sell more what? software or hardware. You guys may be close in the hardware part, seriously expect disapointment when the software numbers are released.

This is some serious delusional thinking taking place on the first page of this thread. (Second page is a lot more sensible.) Seriously - it's Grand Theft Auto! The only game on the PS3 that has a chance to outsell it is Gran Turismo. Nothing else will get even remotely close.

Some of you are going to be very, very disappointed when June rolls around.

Like I said before, I'm seriously considering to purchase PS3 bundled with MGS4 and i'm sure many people will.

Will MGS4 sell more softwares?

It's bundled so it's a plus and  it is an exclusive PS3 game.

What do you think? 


 MGS4 will sell less than GTAIV but will sell way more consoles. I know lots of people that will buy a PS3 when MGS4 comes out. I expect MGS4 to sell about 2m WW in the first week. Compare that to GTAIV's 6m... lol

 GTAIV is a sales moster...

OKay. So Metal Gear 3 sold 3.75 million units total on a platform install base of like like 75-85 million at the time?

And MGS4 is going to sell how many on an install base of 12 million?


Some of you are out of your freaking minds on your predictions.

MGS2 released on a platform with 16 million, and sold around 7 million (according to most other places).
With that said, there is no chance MGS4 will outsell GTA IV.

On top of that Bod, GTA4 for PS3 will sell alot less than any PS2 version because 360 is getting a HUGE chunk of that pie.

By the way, XBOX360 just called me, they said, "Wooohooo!"

Week 1; 1.5 million, lifetime sales; 5 million (Japan 600k, Eu/Others 2.4 million, NA 2 million).



Bloo! on 06 May 2008

Lol, Metal Gear Solid won't even come close to Wii fit.



 

Old Brawl code..ask for my new one..

People need to come to sense................. MGS4 has not a single chance to sell nearly the number of GTA4.
