Who says PS3 games don't sell? Konami should certainly be happy with the success of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots sales. With sales now over 5 million for the PS3 exclusive, Metal Gear Solid 4 is now one of the best selling PS3 titles. With sales in this fiscal year over 650,000 for the franchise, the series continues to sell strong.
Telling the final chapter in the long legacy of Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid 4 was loved by many and will likely be remembered for the amazing movie experience the game delivered. While some had a few problems with some of the gameplay choices found in the game, most still enjoyed the game for the heart-moving experience.
Pushing the PS3 to a new level of graphics at the time, Hideo Kojima wanted to deliver an experience like no other on the PS3. Love or hate the game, it rightly deserved these 5 million sales. With sales now over 5 million, this makes the game the best-selling PS3 exclusive.
There are many million sellers on the PS3, with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves just recently selling over 2 million worldwide. Prior to Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue was the top-selling PS3 exclusive with over 4.6 million units sold.
