Well it would surprise me if Spain would add much to the total, since I think the other totals is already high.

In the UK, the MGS4 sold almost the same as GT5P. Others first week sales for GT5P was 385k. So even without Spain, MGS4 sold quite a bit more outside of the UK relative to GT5P. I have a hard time believing that MGS4 would sell so much more unless the UK really hates MGS4.

Well, MGS2 sold between 300-600k in the UK according to ELSPA/Chart Track but sold over 2.4mil in the "others" region according to VGchartz so MGS may be a title that appeals to all of the PAL region and not just the UK.

So with MGS2 sales, UK represents less than 25% of total sales for the PAL region of the title.

I'm a little wary of stats that old, not to mention an entirely different platform. The demographics for the region were probably different from what they are today.

 

Yeah, well, whatever. I'm just pointing out that MGS4 seems to be falling exactly into line with what previous MGS titles have done and therefore to me there is no issue. I believe Spain get the game on Wednesday so we will see their sales soon enough.
