Forums - Sales Discussion - MGS 4 First Day sales = 1.8 million

Hephaestos on 13 June 2008

in a series that sold 5.5 M on 120M consoles you expect 3M first week on 13M consoles??

that would mean PS3 will stop selling at 20M for the gen

Oh friggin god. Hell no.

The sales of the MGS series have been declining. The first week sales of Japan have actually LOWERED even with inflated bundle sales. But you expect it to sell 700K in the Americas. That is 5x higher than MGS3 with a userbase (at its release) nearly 10x as much.

My predictions are this:

JPN: 300K (already)
NA: 400K (due to infation of bundles)
PAL: 350K

Total: 1050K, or 1.05 Million.

The bundles will not increase sales to drastic immensity.

Japan first day sales = 300k copies of MGS 4
Europe/Others sales = 750k copies of MGS4
America/Canada sales = 750k copies of MGS 4

Combined first day MGS 4 total sales = 1.8 million


Expected First week worldwide sales of MGS 4 around 3 million copies.
PS3 weekly sales 500 000 consoles for MGS 4 week launch.
Comment people.


*cough*

errm no.
similar to your last "prediction" thread in that is is vastly implausable.

I will ignore 1st day sales and concentrate on week 1.

Japan: 300-400k
Europe/other: 400-500k
Americas: 200-300k

1st week sales: 900-1200k

Max 1500k if it suprises me in America.

----------

PS3 hardware will be lucky if it manages 300k WW never mind 500k. I expect more like 200-250k

---Edit, if the Japan 1st day numbers in that other thread are correct, then my Japan 1st week may be a bit low, it will probably fall between 400-450k


Considering it has been confirmed that in Japan first day sales of the game is 300k without the bundles your estimation is off. Japan will at least be 600 - 700k for first week.


That's a little bold. No PS3 game has doubled it's first day sales yet, or so I've been told, and what, you think the bundle will move 100,000 units of PS3 in Japan, effectively multiplying regular PS3 sales by a factor of 10?

 

I'd go 500-600, sure, but 600-700 would be spectacular.

So many fanboys.

So little time to kill them in.

Sigh.

Get a grip, PS3 is a money sink for everyone. MGS4 cannot save it.


There was me thinking the ps3 had outsold the 360 since last year. It is your first post though so obviously you must be correct

Yes - this game will sell better first week than any Wii game, and any X360 game except for Halo 3 first week. 

Austria will also win the Euro 2008.

So its going to sell better than GTA4 first week? 


This may be a new concept for you, I mean it's pretty far out, it's called sarcasm

that's not how it works at all.

The fact is that a smaller userbase has a much higher attach ratio. Predicting software sales based on userbase numbers is the worse thing you can do.
