The E3 trailer said it would be a worldwide release, and I'm pretty sure a few others have said that as well. I don't think the game will be able to sell 1 mil. in one day, however it will come very close, and it will definitely surpass the 1 mil. mark for the week. I think Ryan Payton was exaggerating a bit when he made the 1 day comment. If it sells well enough in the first week, I don't see why Konami should be worried. It will definitely sell at least 4 mil. lifetime, and possibly even more, since it's the first "next-gen" Metal Gear. MGS2 sold almost 3 mil. more than MGS3 (7 mil. vs 4 mil.) and GT3 sold about 6 mil. more than GT4 (14 mil. vs 8 mil.) for this very reason. It's an old franchise wrapped in a new shiny package, which attracts more people than just the fans of the series. |
Actually, Gran Turismo 4 sold 9.52 million - http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html
I really wouldn't trust this site for sales. At least not for older games.
