Got anything to back up that 95-97%?

@Solid_Raiden

The majority of those games could be MGS4, that doesn't change the fact that the number is not just for MGS4.

Games that I think are included in the number:

Metal Gear Solid Touch - it was launched in March, so it should be covered there.

Metal Gear Online

Metal Gear Solid Mobile

 

 Metal Gear Online isn't a game you can buy. It's the online mode of MGS4. And I don't think they shipped MGS Mobile to retailers. lol I'm not sure about MGS Touch but isn't that only available as a download also? Aren't these SHIPPED figures? As in shipped to retailers? Or am I mistaken?

There is a standalone version of Metal Gear Online, only in Japan.

Metal Gear Solid Mobile was released in NA.

The exact words are: "The METAL GEAR series steadily increased its sales, with total units of this series sold surpassing 4.75 million worldwide."

From Konami's perspective the games bought by retailers are sales to them, because the retailers had to pay them money.
