First week MGS 4 /PS3 sales are as follows:

MGS 4 SW = 3 million.
PS3 HW = 500k


This is clearly too high.

We just got more data (look at the updated article) and first day sales are roughly 1.3 million now. The article said hardware sales will more than double, not more than tripple


What is your expections for first week in NA and Others?

I´d say somewhere around 1 million for Metal Gear each, with 120k consoles in America and 150k in Europe. That´s nothing official, though, just predictions. Japan should see sales of 50-75k PS3 and 400-500k Metal Gear Solid units... but I´m not that good in predicting things...

 


I'm going to say a bit more console sold in US... around 140K, A lot of places have people lining up for MGS4 bundle and almost completely sold out at this point.

I will say PS3 outselling Wii this week in Japan.


 140k is still possible but so far I´d rather go with 120k.  But yeah, the PS3 will likely outsell the Wii in Japan this week, though.

 1 million in NA with just 400.000 on first day? This is because the game released on thursday? One thing is clear that first week expectation were exeeded now LTD is left.

 Yeah, maybe a bit lower than 1 million but I´d expect it to break 750k.

 no such thing, Sony will have enough to go around soon enough.

 

Let me just say.. bundling in MGS4 and DS3 is going to do WONDER to PS3 hardware numbers.

if so PS3 sales will be LOW the week after MGS4 then shoot up again..

Shouldnt NA move more HW than Europe, thanks to the come back of 80GB and a better bundle deal?

 What I'm saying is, the MGS4 bundle is here to stay much like the MotorStorm bundle.

So I don't see what the big deal is.

According to his other thread he works at a BestBuy in Canada, maybe his store says they are getting more units.
