A thread was needed to highlight a small change in MGS 4 sales? Last time I checked a few months ago it was around 4.08 million.

MGS 4 is a great game and probably one of the best games on the PS3. Now MGS 4 is a Platinum title at $30 brand new. MGS 4 should see more sales over its lifetime and get to 5 million sales ltd.

MGS 4 managed to outsell MGS 3 because it was the first MGS game released on the PS3. It was hyped and marketed a lot which helped boost its sales.

PS3 is the only console that is pirate free for now - but the hackers will hack it eventually. Piracy of software is rampant worldwide which adversely impacts on game sales. PS1 and PS2 along with all other systems as well as PC are so easily pirated it is a joke.

Well apparently you found it interesting enough to post in it.  I also feel like it is made pretty clear in the original post thatI wanted people to talk about why MGS4 was able to not see a steep decline despite selling on a much smaller userbase comared to the games last gen.  It's not about the change in sales of MGS4 over the last couple months, but compared to the sales of the franchise last gen.
