| Soriku said: How are you guys saying MGS4? GeoW sold 5 mil+ copies while the MGS series has been in decline (sales-wise). MGS3 didn't even break 4 mil. GeoW2 is likely to sell more than GeoW if not a bit less. |
MGS3 was a prequel, whereas MGS4 will be the direct sequel to MGS2. Also, you have to include the sales of MGS3: Subsistence when tallying MGS3's total sales. MGS3:S sold an additional 470k, not including European numbers (MGS's biggest market) because they have not yet been posted.
And, as others have said, MGS4 will be the first "next-gen" MGS, getting a sales boost as such.
OT: I think that MGS4 will outsell Gears 2.
