keep in mind that mgs4 was released on the 12th and the reporting period end is the 14th.

 

Why is it that every game release has someone who points out that it was only available for 2 days?

Isn't the average game get 4 days of release in the EU? I wouldn't know, but it's something I'm wondering.

Not looking very good for PS3 and MGS4. While Halo 3 had more than double that during the release of the biggest sports games for EU(FIFA 08) and 360 had about a 100% in HW sales MGS4 and PS3 pale in comparison even with the same install base.

Wow, this is so hilariuos, rofl. People predicting 2 million+ WW first week for MGS4 and a total domination in HW front. Also mocking users who made more realistic predictions. WW sales will be close to 1.3 million but for the WEEK not first day.

Not the results a lot of fanboys were expecting at the news section on the 1st day sales.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Yeah, the whole point of first week sales of big games is, for a big part, pre-orders.

However, it should be said that games usually have bigger legs in Europe than in USA and Japan.

...wtf?

Considering that MGS4 was released on the 12th of June, the numbers are pretty good. It amazing to see just how much the DS sells every week in Others.
