I could believe such numbers being true for 1st week, I expected 800k for MGS4 first week and maybe 20-30k ps3s sold. We'll see when we get official numbers in.

I'm not so sure about it breaking records, as MGS games are known to have pretty poor legs. Time will tell.

Let's see what the official tally is from VGChartz. =)

Wait... You expected MGS4 to almost catch the other MGS games in a single week??

  Given that MGS4 is probably one of the top most anticipated games, and the PS3 having over a million units sold in Japan (with those owners being "core" gamers), I don't think it's a far fetched thought. People flock to the big games right away, leaving few sales left afterwards, because everyone who wants the game already bought it. Heavily frontloaded with weak legs.
