@Seneque:
This is in the Q2 report:

Computer & Video Games business: METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS for PlayStation 3 was released simultaneously worldwide. Truly overwhelming in scale, this is the first PlayStation 3 title to use the full capacity of a Blu-Ray Disc. It received accolades even before its release and was honored with the prize of excellence in the Entertainment Division of the 11th Japan Media Arts Festival sponsored by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. The total number of the copies shipped has already passed the four million mark and the sales are still steadily increasing — testimony to the prowess of the METAL GEAR SOLID brand.
So it does seem like the game shipped over 4 million by now, unless that last line all of a sudden is about the whole brand.
