Your right. Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2 are not even related. Its like comparing the Final Fantasy games to the Doom series. No relation what so ever.

You can't compare a prequel (MGS3) to a sequel (Halo 3). Its a fact that Prequels never sell well compared to a sequel. (Devil May Cry series) MGS3 was designed for the more hardcore MGS fans, and would never reach MGS2 like numbers. Halo 3 is the last installment of the series, and anyone with a 360 would buy it. It won't make sense to compare these two games.

True, prequels usually don't sell quite as well. But it's still relevent that no MGS game has outsold a Halo game.


A good comparison would be Gran Turismo and Halo. Not MGS and Halo.

I'll take the case!!!

Dont forget that Gran Turismo games usually came bundled with the PS2's around the holidays. Thats why the numbers are so high. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2001/vgnews/062601/gt3_thumb001.jpg

No, more like relating a Final Fantasy game to Final Fantasy Tactics.

I was wondering why it was so high, Eugene.

The original Metal Gear Solid outsold Halo. MGS2 is debatable depending on whether you count Substance or not.

Stop using Wikipedia numbers just because they back up your opinion. Seriously. You're only making yourself look like an ass. 


Another typical douche. Wikipedia is far more reliable than vgchartz when it comes to past video game sales and information in general.The numbers for some huge games are still at 0 or they only display sales for one region.

And just because i'm using the site, it doesn't somehow make vgcagrtz infallible. What a pathetic argument.

Everyone knows wikipedia is unrealiable. I can go and change MGS's sales to 0 right now if I wanted to..

Douche? That's smart to reduce to name-calling on a moderator. Consider this your first and only warning.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread. Go ahead and quote Wiki numbers all you want but no one on this site will take you seriously.
