I think this game will be 1 on the gamerankings list, and outsell metal gear solid 1.

I even think it can make 8 million copies sold. MGS is by far the best franchise in the history of video games. And Ive played alot of video games.

All of them are 100% false but the second maybe 70% true(6million)

#1 in Gamerankings? Come on, You are hyped with this game, but not is the best game in history, a few games better than it TLOZ: OT, SMG, SM64, Metroid Prime, etc.

8 miilion sold? You think this game will sell better than GTAIV, and GT and FF in PS3? false, the best selling MG game sell 5.59 million you expected at least 2.41 million more in a userbase 100 million less, you are crazy

The best franchise in the history? only have 5 games count the first in NES and the next MGS4, the best franchise in history is Mario, have +20 years, save the videogames, have 4 games in the best selling videogames all the time and his games have very good critic aclaim.

PD: sorry for my bad english.

How can you say they are better than it when you have not played MGS4 yet?  Also I usually see sales figures for MGS and MGS2 at around 7 million, granted VGC says otherwise.

The first was on the MSX2, and later ported onto the NES.  The Metal Gear series has also been around 20+ years, and has seven games (including MGS4), not five in the main series.
