Congratz MGS franchise.

Yeah, it's about 200k lower in JP than MGS3, but America could easily make that up.

It looks like MGS4 will stop the downward trend in sales the series has had.

I wanted to add, you have to take account the bundles. Bundles did play a part in this, like it or not.

This isn't like wii sports or uncharted or some other game that comes with your system no matter what. This was a limited time bundle that only saw 100,000 or less units made I believe and sold out instantly everywhere. Those people obviously were wanting the mgs4. So those copies of MGS4 would have been sold either way. I guarantee you this game would have seen the same sales as it has. This wasn't a bundling situation like most other games.

Metal Gear Solid 3 was a better game though....*sniff*

It's the moustache. People dig the Chuck Norris-like moustache. Same reason Mario games sell so well.

MGS3 LTD in Japan won't change which mean the diffrence will come down to at least 130k with 730k MGS4 shipped.

Great series, Great console, Great Future together :)
