The MGS 4 bundle is a replacement for the Motorstorm bundle, which was discontinued to clear the way. there is also the gunmetal grey one, which is a limited edition

KingofWale works in a VERY LARGE bestbuy (I think its bestbuy)..in canada

well, there goes the old dipped-in-shit nonsense of taking the previous game of a series as reference for sales (in this case MGS3, which sold with a PS2 installed base millions bigger, yada yada yada). Oh, how haters loved to mention that crap to understimate MGS4. But let me not thrive in hate , it's all good now and MGS4 rules solid.

it seems my prediction was too low

well i think for europe maybe about 1 million in about 6 days from release day, and for NA too 1 million, and for japan maybe around 500k, that´s about 2.5 millions

If they keep the bundle then i think by the end of the summer MGS4 will be easily sitting between 4 - 5 million and if they by any intelligence manage to convert it into a $399 bundle before the holiday period then 7 - 8 million is not out of question at all..

Hardware
Japan: 70k
NA: 140k
Europe: 180k

Total= 390k

Software
Japan: 400k
NA: 500k
Europe: 800k

Total= 1.7 million

==> +1000 for the comment about all the people trying to predict the futur by looking at the past.

It only functions on text software : Copy/Paste ...

First week sales break downs

PS3 HW:      Others = 300k            NA = 150k              Japan = 50k                 Total= 500k

MGS 4:         Others = 1.4million     NA = 1.0million         Japan = 0.6million      Total = 3million

Does anyone think that Sony is going for a more sustained effect by not shipping out hundreds of thousands of the 80 gig this week?

The eighty gig is really wanted, and by keeping it out there a la the Motorstorm bundle, the hardware sales won't dip off so much, so quickly.
