MGS3 did not sell a milion in Japan lifetime. Expecting 700K opening week is ridiculous.

Metal Gear Solid 3 + Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence = 1.01 million

The fact that you had to add the sales of two different versions together just to crawl over the million mark nicely illustrates my point.

I completely agree that his 700k claim is ridiculous, and I said as much just three posts above yours.

However, MGS does break the 1 million mark.  The Subsistence version of the game was essentially a Greatest Hits version with a few extra features thrown in.  Why shouldn't it be counted?

Funny fact: MGS3 actually outsold MGS2 in Japan (though barely), despite decreasing in sales in all other territories.
