This thread is about launch sales, Immortal. And I have only mentioned launch sales about twice, but it has nothing to do with the argument at hand.

Portables Ops is a prequel, a spin off, just like Halo Wars, so why shouldn't they be compared using your logic?

MGS sold 5.59 million and MGS2 sold 5.56, where as Halo has sold 6.43 and 2 has sold 8.24 million. Proof: http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php

At the moment, Halo 3 has about the same sales as MGS3 Snake Eater in the others category. At the moment, it isn't that bigger and Halo 3 will probably surpass it next week.

Whether its a prequel or sequel, it is still the third installment in the Metal Gear Solid series.


I'm aware of the thread title but i'm talking about overall sales. I'm sure you've seen threads diverge a little in the past. Portable Ops is a spin off, but it's also a handheld game, your arguments are getting a bit deperate now, no offense.

Lol, that's your proof? VGCHARTZ is about as reliable as wikipedia when it comes to past video game sales - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games

Metal Gear Solid - 6.6 million

Halo - 5 million

Metal Gear Solid 2 - 7 million

Halo 2 - 8 million

Even without Substance which is essentially the same game, MGS wins.

And again, you're using the same argument. Regardless of the number '3' being in the title, it's still a prequel, not even to the MGS games, but to the NES games. Like I said, compare a spin-off to a spin-off.
