Forums - Sony - Will MGS4 numbers be > or < than GTA4 for PS3?

No. MGS is consistently overestimated, from a sales perspective, and GTA is one of, if not the, most popular series of our time.

people have neem waiting for MGS4 for a long time now, and the hype building up around this game is big. i would not be suprised if this game outsells GTAIV on the ps3. It will defo move more hardware tho for obvious reasons i dont really need to rant on about. But however by the end this generation GTAIV would have sold more than MGS4 because the gta game is going to be the one with the longer legs.

 

Edited: i change me mind MGS4 will sell more than GTAIV

Long term... MGS4, if it stays the primary PS3 bundle all the way through the holidays, but it will be close.

 Good point about the bundle.

Unless the bundle is long term I think MGS will sell less software and less hardware. No PS3 game has had a bigger boost than GTAIV and none will until FF13 comes out.

If only MGS4 would outsell GTAIV... :'(

MGS4 will have trouble breaking 1.3 million worldwide, let alone in NA.

MGS4 barely breaks 1 million lifetime in Japan.  700k first week is insane.



dude japan loves mgs4 as much as americans love gta iv

the ps3 can do a 3:1 attach rate like ps3 did whit a none exlusive gta iv in america


700k is very posible in japan

If we are talking worldwide comparing MGS4 sales to GTA4 for the PS3, I would say MGS4 has a very good chance. Anyone that has been holding off, even after GTAIV, will jump at the 80GB MGS4 bundle.
