Metal Gear Solid 4 exceeds one million in sales for first week in Europe |
Ó
Indy may have won the battle, but it looks like Snake's won the war. Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has sold more than one million units within its first week of arriving in Europe. Put another way, we're looking at over 140,000 sales within a seven-day period. On a related note, Konami also divulged that all 25,000 of Europe's limited edition MGS4 sets, which included a making-of Blu-Ray, a soundtrack CD, and an "Old Snake" mannequin, quickly sold out. This achievement effectively eclipses MGS4's previously reported success in Japan, with sales exceeding the half-million mark just five days after its release in the region.
"MGS4 is nothing short of a masterpiece – an epic conclusion to the Solid Snake story," said Martin Schneider, Konami Germany's sales and marketing director, regarding the game's sales in his region. "We are extremely pleased with the positive feedback we have received from retail and consumers alike, and will keep satisfying their needs with updates to the game’s Extra option, and via new content to Metal Gear Online."
Drop by again in case we receive any further updates regarding this news. From the way it's going, MGS4 is well on its way to setting milestones within the gaming community.

sorry it was meant to say I
This game is an absolute Masterpiece. Actually, I might go as far as to say this is the best game I've ever played. I like better than Half-Life 2. I like it more than Final Fantasy VII. This game is one for the ages. No joke. I applaud KOJIMA Productions.

Damn thats alot of sales man.
I dont want a billion fanboys trying to hang me over this. this is a legitimate question of curiosity. Did bioshock sell this well at its launch? because really somebody can look at this as the ps3's fifteen minuets in the spotlight. yeah they did it. they made it. mgs4 rocks really hard. but sooner or later lightning will have to strike again. or the ps3 fails. I say this objectivly. as I am a ps3 owner. honestly. I say these things. because I like to stir up chaos. it's the funnest part of the console wars. Fight my minions!! fight!!!! lol
why would you write "over a million in a week" then say "over 140,000 in a seven day period"? I mean... yeah it's true... but... here. let me put it another way. over 6 copies were sold worldwide!!! is there something I'm missing?
IS a good question. Did bioshock sell this well in its first week in Europe.
yea i can c ur point too.. i was sitting there for like a minute, thinking 140k, didnt they jsut say 1mil? then i realised was 140k per day haha... weird -.-
Well why isnt the game platinum already then?
Well deserve
