It will sell millions. And this not including the bundles. It could easily ship 5 million and do 4 million easy. This game will entice more people to buy a PS4 than most other games this fall. The PS4 version will ship at least 5x as many copies as tge Xbox One.

A lot...

Over 3M, that's for sure.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

12 million lifetime.

6 million in 2015.

3 million first week.

MGS4 was 6 mil on PS3 alone. This game will do 10+ mil lifetime.

I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan so let me state that first. I can see the game only doing around the 2 million mark in the first year. After that the game will likely sell more and more as word of mouth goes around but at the same time it may end up blowing though 4+ million right off the bat due to the extreme levels of hype. MGS games sell well but they also don't. They are a very tough sell that has a HUGE dedicated fan base, the game itself however is not the most accessible game and from my experience is nearly impossible for a casual gamer to play or get into.

They are fantastic games and one of my top 2 equally all time favorites series :D However they are also one the few (many) games that are dedicated to hardcore gamers and do not have casuals in mind. The gameplay, story, and concepts are not accessible to people who casually play games and throw on CoD, Fifa, or GTA every now and then while they smoke one.
