Forums - Sales Discussion - MGS4 IN UNDERTRACKED, PROOF!!!

Ok, so right now MGS4 is sitting at 2.69 Mil on VGCHARTZ. There is an article (below) which say it has shipped 3.94mil by the end of JUNE.

So, now it is the start of August which means they MUST HAVE SHIPPED over 4 Mil and VGCHARTZ sales show 2.69 million SOLD. So that would be according to us, there are 1.4 + Million copies of MGS4 sitting on shelves. This i find hard to believe.

So, in conclusion Ioi needs to adjust the numbers over 3mill.

P.S - Yh, if u look at the comments people are calling this site "CRAPCHARTZ" and "FAKECHARTZ" as well as other swear words. Not nice in my opinion

EDIT: TITLE SHOULD READ "MGS4 IS UNDERTRACKED, PROOF!!!"

No matter what people say, that's not too much stock for a game.

Consider that consoles often have stock levels near a million. It's not surprising a big game can have more than that, at least I haven't seen many stores with more consoles than games. There's a store nearby with just two 360s and more than 10 copies of Gears of War.

I'd like to see an estimate of how many game shops there are in the world. Using that number, it probably works out to be a quite small number of units per shop.

EDIT - aren't there also tons of PS3+MGS4 bundles sitting on shelves or being shipped right now?

Unless MGS4 sells like 500k this week, then yes, I'd say its undertracked.



As in go buy us some coffee.

You also neglect to mention that there are a few people on there sticking up for VGChartz. Not to mention, VGChartz doesn't garuntee the numbers..so as long as you aren't betting money that the numbers are right, calm down (and if you are, you have gambling issues..). Theres always a margin of error - give ioi time.

That said, MGS4 deserves every sale it gets. The game is amazingly fun. I'm going to play through it again, but I'm going to wait and see if they have a Trophy update while I let my brother-in-law borrow it.

Good Stuff.



It says Metal Gear shipped 3.94 million, not MGS4. There are PSP and PS2 games that sold during the period.

It says 3 million MGS4 shipped. Not 3.94 million and not sold to consumers.



I'm locking this, you don't have to put in bold VGC UNDERTRACKS. For crying out lous, don't be an ass.

"Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of The Patriots" shipped over 3 million units worldwide."

 

Looks like a pretty good job by VgChartz to me.
