Forums - Sony Discussion - Can Metal Gear Solid 4 sell more than halo 3 in first week sales?

no it won't

GT 5 & FF13 will though.....easily

Absolutely no way. Metal Gear Solid games have never sold as well as Halo games, and that was on the two biggest selling consoles of all time. MGS4 will be lucky to get 5 million copies sold in it's lifetime.



My consoles and the fates they suffered:

Atari 7800 (Sold), Intellivision (Thrown out), Gameboy (Lost), Super Nintendo (Stolen), Super Nintendo (2nd copy) (Thrown out by mother), Nintendo 64 (Still own), Super Nintendo (3rd copy) (Still own), Wii (Sold)

A more detailed history appears on my profile.

If the 360 version of GTA 4 couldn't beat halo 3's launch, even though it had a much larger userbase then I really don't see how MGS4 could beat halo 3's launch. It's going to sell very very well but the week one hype for halo 3 was huge.



i doubt it, it will probably sell 1m+ week 1, but 3m, id be very suprised.



The answer is 'yes', if by 'yes' you actually mean 'no'.

hahahahaha
is this serious?
Halo 3 sold 3 mill plus first week.
Snake Eater sold barely above 1 million first week, and by that time there were an userbase of almost 80 million.
No way
It will probably surpass 1 million, but that is all.
I dont really understand how people can thing MGS4 is going to save PS3 in Japan, dont they know Metal Gear always strugle to get over the million in there?

2 million for first week of MGS 4 is most likely.



If this sells more than one million in the first WW sales it will have sold more than I expected.






I dont think so but MGS4 will sell so well.

I wish it would, but there is no chance at all.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
