Forums - Sales - MGS4 Japan --- First day sales

I was wrong...I thought it would be less than 250,000 Day 1 with less than 350,000 for the WEEK. Meaning with the bundles, it may have sold around 350,000 already 1st Day...

Call me impressed. If it hits 450,000 1st week with Bundles Included...it will probably sell at LEAST 1.5 MILLION WW first week. Call of Duty 4 & Assassin's Creed didn't even get CLOSE to that. In fact, neither of those even did 500,000 first week ww on the ps3.

Lol, makes me wonder how much FFXIII will sell first day in Japan?

Well using an online translator;

- PS3:"Metal gear solid 4 SP edition/regular version"
- DVD:"2 metal gear solid Bandodeshine"
- Book: "Noberaiz version METAL GEAR SOLID GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS"

start"
【 related article 】"Metal gear solid 4/MGS4" impression of PS3
recruitment on a large scale

PS3 real start title "Metal gear solid 4/MGS4" finally put on the
market.
As for the sales number at the first day, a special version with the
privilege was about 170,000, and the regular version became 300,000
first-ever first day over title about 130,000 as software for PS3.
This is only a figure of a soft unit to the last.
Figures of the main body bundle versions such as "Steel" and "WELCOME
BOX" are not included.

If you can extend the figure well in this vein on the weekend
Did the possibility of repainting a successive record of software for
PS3 that PS3 "Everyone's GOLF5" had (about 390,000) only with the
sales number during the first go out, too?

The expectation heavily was put if it thought about the successive sales number
of the series "MGS4".
The first mission seems to be able to be said that it is clear for the time
being.



It kind of makes sense no? =P

 hmm, if it hits 450k in Japan, it will hit only 1.5 mil worldwide?

you are expect that US market + European market to sell the same as Japanese market, when it's really clear that they are much bigger and much more MGS friendly. :P

 

Come on. :)

I know the poster Kurosaki Ichigo because he is spaniard and posts in EOL a spanish videogame forum. His data is very reliable, all weeks he advances the first day sales in Japan and that data is always correct.

Lol, I'm a pessimist.  I'd rather predict pleasantly low and be happily surprised.  In all honesty, I'd be aiming for more like 750,000 US, 750,000 EU...for a total near 2 million....but I don't want a bunch of people ripping on delusional "Sony" fans if I'm wrong.

Which if it does break 2 million for the week....all I'm going to say is that...DAMN, that's impressive.

woww nicee



 

 

 

great sales



Um... I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but is this "Sinobi" website reliable at all? As in, is this guy an authority on data-collecting somehow? I just ran the page through Babelfish, and it doesn't appear as though he has any sources for his claim.

Since the only other source is a forum post (lol), I'm inclined to be skeptical.

 Edit: Just realized it's a blog post (double lol). Needless to say, I'll be waiting for the actual numbers, thanks, because those sound slightly unbelievable.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 I predicted 1.4 before... I was fearing for Haze-effect.

 

but now it's prove than the game is good (and possibly GOTY), I don't think you'd get ripped, Barring any kind of GTAIV type blacklash from Nintendo fans (which is going to be hard, because there isn't really a Nintendo title launched this week, unlike GTAIV week), I think this week belong to us. ;)

I think y-koron usually takes his data from Sinobi too, so it's accurate.

This is surprising and *may* be good news for the PS3, or it may just be that the game is more frontloaded than expected. IMO there's no reason to call it one way or the other yet.
