| Skullwaker said: I mean big as a relative term. Of course, nothing touches Final Fantasy, DQ, Pokemon, MH, YW, etc. And the best selling MGS games in Japan have sold .96m, .87m, .83m(x2), .78m and .38m, respectively. Not as big. |
Just checked and Chartz numbers for MGS in Japan are undertracked, you can check my signature for something more up to date (although maybe it is because chartz uses MC & I use famitsu)
Still, you have to take into account that Zelda started in the gaming boom of the Famicom a time in which pretty much everything Nintendo put out sold 1m, Metal Gear wouldn't hit big until the PlayStation, if we to compare Zelda vs MGS since then then MGS win, the last Zelda title to outsell a MGS was Ocarina of Time, both MGS2 & 3 greatly outsold Wind Waker, MGS4 sold more than Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword combined.
This is home consoles of course where both series are stronger, in the handheld part makes it more even for them, but as far as consoles go, MGS is bigger.
