Everything is on disscount in the UK, lol. Fish n chips only $20!
| gebx said: They can ship as many as they want... but apparently the game is already in bargain bins cause its been overshipped http://kotaku.com/5029830/less-than-a-month-and-a-half-mgs4-in-bargain-bins Could be an isolated incident, but it would support VGC's numbers that the game is not undertracked. |
oh stop it ! why do feel the need to enter ps3 threads and dogg the console?! (fanboism at its best)
If you're not happy with VGChartz's data :
MGS4 has not sold its first shipment yet in Italy, according to GFK : it is, as of the last report (July 20), at 81,100 units sold, out of an initial stock of 95,000 units. (GFK's Italy Charts)
It has 'only' sold between 200k and 300k in the UK at the end of July, according to Chart-Track (probably closer to 200k than 300k) (ELSPA Awards). Given that the UK usually represents around 1/3-1/4 of all Europe sales, a rough estimate would put MGS4 sales around 900k in all Europe. (first shipment was around 1 million according to Konami's own press).
It has sold 775k in the USA in June (NPD USA June 2008). First shipment was around 1.5 million. Even if you add Canada and others, I doubt it has made much more than 900k total for the month in the America. And unless it has had tremendous legs, I doubt it has made significantly more than 600k in July (in order for it to sell out its first shipment). It has most probably done way less, as those type of games are heavily front-loaded.
In Japan, the game was at 622k according to Famitsu at the end of July. (Famitsu July 27's Chart)
This game has sold around 3 million units directly to consumers at very best, and anyone expecting way above that is just deluding himself.

Heh NDP and VG chartz didn't include bundle packs so the game wasundertracked by a few 100k. Lol and by the by Jimmy, it's no longer June.

1rst : GFK, Famitsu and Chart-Track do, and I have been generous with the USA/America to account for that.
2nd : Learn to read.
Shipped, not sold...BIG difference!

It seems everyone ignores the obvious agenda this site has against MGS. |
I haven't been ignoring it. I'm going to soon launch my own website that has a heavy bias against the halo series and mario games and equilibrium will be restored to the internet!!!!
MGS4 should be less than 3.94 for the quarter, because of other Metal Gear numbers.
BTW, shipped is SOLD for Konami, since they should have been paid for those goods.
UNLESS THEY ARE ON CONSIGNMENT - which is not very likely.
So MGS4 ships 4 million. That's some 3.5 MILLION in actual sales, or over 3 million anyway. I feel ashamed even watching the VG Chartz sales for MGS4.

Actually they ship as many as retailers want. They want because they sell...
