Yeap... multiplatform didn't do nothing to MGS franchise.



How on earth did MGS4 almost sell as much as MGSV considering 4 was only on one console and 4 had less time in June than MGSV had in September...Even not factoring in that MGSV is vastly superior...

Franchise fatigue, unnecesary entry on the saga, waiting for Christmas, boycotting Konami, boycotting Kojima, too expensive for its value, piracy, used games.

 

Pick the reasons you prefer!

because the fanbase is mostly on PS platforms and japanese games don't sell well on Xbox platforms.


Irrelevant, because the numbers doesn't match on PS platforms regarding MGS4.



*Excluding digital sales

That's not negligible. It's probably above 1 million when you factor that in.



Digital sales are much higher now. Right now it has almost a 15k rating only in the US with 88k likes. Did mgs4 have a digital version at release? Dont remember.

It didn't. It only came out in December 2014 on PSN.
