Forums - Sales - Actual Chart-Track Numbers, and LTD numbers (SSBB > LBP > MGS4) and more!

LBP massively undertracked if i take the 4.5 number. (I thought the numbers were more like 4 for ps3 and 3 for 360 and the reasoning for that is UK is closer to US sales pattern while ps3 sells better in spain and italy)

So no-one captured the scan? :(

Has the guy been banned? If not maybe someone could send him a PM if they can remember his username.

Also, you can't just extrapolate UK for the whole of Europe, it's not one homogeneous country like the US or Japan, tastes in games vary widely across the continent.

I just realized one thing.

LBP is near SSBB....& it is ABOVE MGS4....Metal Gear fing Solid 4!!

SONY well done....hats off....this new IP is off to a great start!

 

That can be viewed from both sides....wtf happened to MGS4, and why shouldn't America and Japan combine forces to bomb the UK, because LBP was greater than MGS4?

That said, I'm not big on numbers, just people's reactions to them, so I didn't really click that link or read the OP. That's just some Zen trivia for ya, fyi.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

So true. Wasn't Singstar Abba the number one game this holiday in Sweden or some other nearby country?

MGS3 sold less than 300k, so those are pretty decent figures for MGS4 in the UK.

GTA IV 360 - 929k
Gears 2 - 594k


I'd have really liked to have seen 360 numbers for CoD4 and Gears 1 too, but I'm going to assume GTA IV is current best selling 360 game. GTA IV should eventually be able to sell over 1m, but it could take quite some time. I wonder if Gears 2 has a shot at 1m too.

@FilaBrasileiro,

COD WAW for 360 has crossed 600K at the end of december in the UK. Just FYI.

How in the world has MGS4 moved 4/4.5 million in shipped.

 

In the same way Bethsada shipped 4.7mil copies of Fallout 3. Channel stuffing.

I would've liked to seen HSG5 and Oblivion for all platforms.

So then that little math doesn't work....
