- Sell-through and first week shipment estimation by Media-Create:

DMJ2 - 66.80% => 934,000
MGSPW - 56.89% => 764,000

PD: The text editor is driving me nuts :(

Woah!  Both these were badly overshipped then... how long until their bomba binned?

 

I don't think DQMJ 2 was that overshipped, the previous game had pretty nice legs 633.084 / 1.467.179 43,15%, even if this sequel is much more front-loaded it won't have any trouble selling the first shipment.

On the contrary I see MGSPW struggling hard to sell its first shipment, they expected to expand the audience with the ad-hoc and Monster Hunter features hence the huge shipment but they failed since Metal Gear is a very hardcore and hostile franchise for newcomers.

Edit: These numbers put things into perspective. The first shipment was totally crazy.

Metal Gear Solid --- 316.833 / 705.376 44,92%
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty --- 456,747 / 832.719 54,85%
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater --- 487,156 / 819.807 59,42%
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots --- 476,334 / 706.461 67,42%
Metal Gear Solid: Peace walker --- 764.000 (First shipment)
