Forums - Sales Discussion - MGS4 Ships 3 Million

Don't think this has been posted yet.

"With Metal Gear Solid 4 confirmed at half a million sales in Japan and one million in Europe, the big question is, just how many copies has the game sold overall. While we don't have sales figures just yet, we do know the game's shipped number: three million."

So so far, konami managed to sell 3 million copies, then they should be making a profit.

So NA and Japan have too be 300k each to make Total Sales 2.28 with having 720k on shelves to make me believe it isnt undertracked.

Edit: and we know Japans sales are 67k so NA's sales have to be close to 500 k

or... there could be more than you think sitting on shelves AND in transit to retailers AND in wearhouses ready for shipping.

why?in Italy for instance we know (gfk) that were shipped about 90k copies of mgs4...43k were sold in the 1st week:  half of the copies still sitting on the shelves.

 yup around the world everywhere they only sold half the shipment. okay that makes sense.

Even though reports of sell outs in under an hour in Japan and NA... but yup Italy sold half of stock so did the rest of the world



Good news for Konami.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
