How much did the Source predicted?

The Source predicted 200,000 first day, ioi predicted 215,000 for the first day.

I could believe such numbers being true for 1st week, I expected 800k for MGS4 first week and maybe 20-30k ps3s sold. We'll see when we get official numbers in.

I'm not so sure about it breaking records, as MGS games are known to have pretty poor legs. Time will tell.

Let's see what the official tally is from VGChartz. =)

So, 300k first day, 450k first week, 850k lifetime?

HD gaming just moved a finger in japan!

shanbcn said: So it sold over 1 million WW on first day? Konami already making profits.

Let's keep it real, shall we? The game supposedly costs $ 75 million. I hope you can see that a million isn't nearly enough to make a profit on such a game. I'd say 3.5 million is break even point.

Nevertheless, Japanese first day sales are very good. Game has a chance to break a million in Japan, which it quite far above my prediction. I think I predicted 800.000 for Japan lifetime. 2 million ww first week would be very impressive.
Sound like the game deserves it from all the reviews and reactions.

Square-Enix YOU have NOTHING to worry about FF13 sales...

So, 300k first day, WITHOUT Bundles. =))

And usually First day sales are 2/3 of Weekly sales.
So it should be ~450k only sales of game alone + ???k of bundles or +100-150k.

But yeah, 600k for FIRST week.. well, MGS4 is ANOTHER level of GAMING, so who knows. =))

Wii Fit cost - 8,800Y
MGS4:
Normal Edition - 8800Y
Limited Edition - 9800Y

@BengaBenga, so THINK AGAIN. =))

Awesome!

So MGS4 could become the best sold PS3 game for Japan week 1!?

It's kind of surreal to hear that from you.
Maybe you should think again. I'll give you one hint: retailer price =/= Konami revenue.
