Metal Gear Solid 4 has shipped 3.94 million units worldwide, according to a recent sales report from Konami.
We don't know the exact number of copies sold, but about one out of every four or five PS3 owners has purchased Metal Gear Solid 4. Simply put, there's a lot of tactical espionage action going on.
With sales that have started to become slightly sluggish in Japan, will the game reach the lucrative five million sold mark before the end of the year? We think so. Leave your input in the comments section below.

Snake SNNNAAAAKKKKKEEEEEE go kojima
prety amazing for an exclusiv, hope it beats MGS2
Great game. I love every second of it.
Sells will go up during christmas. I am sure there still is alot of people that did not have the money and would want it for a present.
i might get it for christmas since i dont have it and it is such a good game
Theres another thing to remember in about a year you know there will be a Subsistence verson with more content just like all the other MGS games. So theres im shure a good chunck that are just holding off for that.
It will probably get at a min 4.5mil, this is the best game on the market currently! I wonder if Little Big Planet can topple it!
the other 4-5 sobs should get right now, or ill kick them square in the nuts.lol
I'd say that it'll sell 5 mil this year.
psn id: gingo... mgs was always going to sell well but i think this is even higher than what konami expected especially from an exclusive
I told Wylie, MGS4 is going to sell atleast 5 million copies.
at least someone have faith in playstation installed base to keep it exclusive other than other people *cough cough square cough* oh excuse me
My most favorite PS3 game of all-time.
Mgs4 was the greatest game to grace this GEN thus far
Thats sad,
THATS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS WHY ALL THIS SPECULATIUON IS ABOUT MGS4 TO 360, CUZ PS3 DOES NOT SELL HUGE AMOUNT OF GAMES.
HALO GOT LIKE 7 MILLION OR SOMETHIN, RIGHT?
@ 19...y r u on this site...u fanboy
first i wanna say @19 you sound like a 360 fanboi but i call yall "gurlscouts" nobody here care about halo keep those figures to your self. now on topic These numbers will pick up. all i can say is those 3 or 4 people missed out on the best game made so far. and they need to pick this up ASAP cause theres not to many games made that good made on a console off than
i bet it will go over 5 million, no doubt. best game for ps3 so far imo
This game deserved every penny it got so far.
@19 Halo has been on the market for how long??
im gonna buy it this week :)
The best game I've ever had the pleasure of playing deserves no less.
dang i'm 1 of em :D yep it will might even beat 6mil
@19
halo's history so STFU xc0x chearleader...
anyways i say 5mill or more.. its only ben out for a month and a half and allready allmost 4 mill.. so we got another 4 months left in this year,so ima go ahead and shoot for 5.5 mill or 6.
the greatest story ever told and the greatest game ever made.
and no xbox,or xbox 360 has ever gotten as many 10's as a rating in its greedy chearleading history so booo...yaaaa mofo's.
It is my favorite ps3 game so far as well. Game is just so well put together, story/ gameplay everything I loved. Hideo Kojima is a master of game development, the most innovative. My favorite!
@19
You're entitiled to your own opinion, but not many games ship or sell that much so I don't truly understand your point in this. Also flaming the guy will(most likely) just provoke him into saying something back and before we know it we need to delete comments off of this.
Anyway congrats to MGS4 for selling this much, it deserves it.
I'm sorry 19, greater sales don't make a greater game. I'm an avid halo player, literally hours a day, but if given the choice between halo the rest of my life or Metal Gear Solid, Snake wins every time!!!!!!!!!!! It's a superior game, with superior gameplay, a superior story, superior development and it's just halo's better in every way.
Update MGS4 with Trophies :D I love this game...
/Rechain
oh ****! Mis/Mr. 19 is getting told! seems no one likes you! better not come round here anymore!
best game ever, its so emotional
great game, not had time to play much recently, but certainly one of the best games i've played in a long while!
2,6 million are sold so far to customers acording to vgchartz, so i highly doubt it is gonna sell more then MGS2 since that game sold 5 million.
But Since this game is definatly a must have game, i think sales will rise a lot with christmas
MGS4 deseverves that ammount of sales. Its so good. The graphics are unreal - Proves that the Cell isnt all that hard to work on if you actually try.
And they said it couldnt be done..
Hm.. I've got some money, a Dual Shock 3 or MGS4. That is the question.
I think I gonna buy a DS3. Because I gonna sell my SixAxiS and buy two DS3s.
I'm saving money for Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm 2. MGS4 and Killzone 2 will be later on.
Now sony, just realise that the MGS4 fever is passed. Bring us someting!!!!
I just hope Kojima is satisfied. I know him and his crew worked ther tails off to bring this epic game to the PS3. I think they will reach the 5 million by the end of the year.
to all ps3 owners go and buy this game...............................really its worth a play.
take note developers, take your time and put some good effort in your games and you will get good sales.
game of the YEAR
psn id J08hawks
MGS4 is as good as it gets. I've never played that style of game before (never even seen the previous games in the series), and I'd buy it again in a heart-beat! Really, this is how games should be. It's virtually perfect, and it deserves to sell 10 million copies... although by the end of the year I would predict maybe half that.
yeh i gotta say i always look for faults but this game has gotta be the best for this gen of consoles not even being a fanboy when i say this but it totally destroys gow 1 n 2 when its comes out,the only thing that will beat this will be a another ps3 exclusive and still this game will probly go down as a all time classic,in 10 years from now u will be telling ur kids to play mgs4.
is this the bundle cause im buying another ps3 and i want the mgs bundle... awsome anyyways
MGS4 best game ever , period.
Outstanding this is a "must buy" title for all PS3 owners!
@tabular actually according to the article here on psu, it had shipped nearly 3 million worldwide, not sold.
this is an awesome game, i don't have online but, a new game store let's you play for a very small fee. no it's not gamestop. gameplay plus, i was going to play MGS4 online tonight but, ended up playing GTAIV on x-box since it had to do that long update
I know this is blasphemy, but I kinda want to see it got to the 360 only to see how many it would sell on both platforms combined.
I think by the end of the year that MGS4 will reach at least 7 million.
