The 3.94mil was for the end of June. It will be really interesting to see how many they shipped during the last Quarter.  If they shipped none then it appears are data is fine.  But if they shipped more, then our data looks like it may be wrong.  Since i doubt there are that many copies of the game at retail.

 

No, Konami did not report 3.94 million MGS4 units shipped by the end of June. That's simply wrong. The actual number was not given, but is likely closer to 3.3 million.

Konami reported 3.94 million copies of Metal Gear shipped last quarter, which everyone assumed meant "Metal Gear Solid 4." However, they went on to mention boosted sales of MGS2/3 as a result of MGS4, and said that MGS4 had "shipped over 3 million copies."

 

3.3 million is just an estimation, but if it were 3.75+, they almost certainly would have said, "nearly 4 million copies."
