Forums - Sales Discussion - Konami(UK):MGS4 pre-orders are "Huge",midnight opening at Zavvi @ Oxford St

If the numbers are poor, they won't give you numbers. They'll just say the numbers were amazing.

Or, if the numbers are enourmous, and therefore vague, they can't give an accurate estimate, so they say huge.

NA is more front loaded than Europe though. So it is likely that MGS4 will sell more first week in NA. Europe will have better legs though.

Maybe they just don't have the precise numbers yet of actual pre-orders, but they know they are selling fast

Two million worldwide week 1 possible?

Possible, but not likely. If Europe was as front loaded as NA then I would say more than likely.

Japan - 350k

NA - 750K

Europe - 700k

Total - 1.8M

I think that is best case scenario. Close to 2M but not quite, in my opinion. Europe will have better legs than NA, so MGS4 Europe > MGS4 NA.


 Yeah , I dont think that it will hit first week 2 neither ... the game will have pretty strong legs tough ...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

@tombi123

I guess so....but remember there's a 80GB bundle in NA thats out....so it would "look like" the legs are better in NA
