Metal Gear Solid 4 Reaches 1 Million Mark
Before we get to the MGS4 topic, Gamasutra gained some exclusive sales data on a couple of PlayStation 3 titles.
Sony has been promoting LittleBigPlanet, hoping it would be a system seller. When first launched the game hardly made a dent on sales. It continued to descend into the month of November. But sales had picked up in December. Bringing the total sales of LittleBigPlanet to 611,000.
The sequel to Resistance which was a launch system seller had fell in the month of December. Resistance 2 had some strong sales in November, but lost the steam into December tallying the total of sales to 598,000.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a great game, which was emotional and fascinating in quality. From the action to the cutscenes. Game winning Game of the Year from a few sites out there. It’s a great feat that this title has already sold 1,000,000 units. When originally launched back in June, it sold a whopping number of 775,000 units. Between July-December the game only managed to sell 301,000 units, bringing it to one million. Now the sales are only of the boxed versions, it doesn’t include games bundled with PlayStation 3’s.
