Mgs5 gained 16 points on ps4 today at comg.  

First ps4 title to cross 250 points and still has 4 days left.  

Could end up close to 300. Can't wait for the media create numbers in 10 days.

PS3 version gained 10 too. Its going crazy right now, good to see!

Can't wait to see the hardware numbers.

MGS PS4: 350k
Hardware: 48k
Mario Maker: 135k
Hardware: 24k
My predictions of course.

Looking at amazon the madden 16 xbox one bundle looks like it wont be as nearly helpful as its last year counterpart.

Week 36, 2015 (Aug 31 - Sep 6)

[PS4] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain < 350k [PS3] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain < 150k [3DS] Dragon Quest VIII < 130k

YSO predictions

Wow, they expect almost 150k for MGSV ps3?

[Cute Pikachu]

Yep!
Since its a 200k difference in favor  of ps4 I'm gonna say 45k boost so around 50kish.

YSO predictions

Would that beat the ps3 opening for mgs4?

I believe it sold just under 500k. Growth for the series perhaps especially when you can add on digital and pc sales.

Today on comg it did great.  it's now at 270 points so will end up very close to 300 on ps4 alone.  

Weekly numbers suggest until dawn and dragons dogma will open strong.  

Ps4 hardware due to those titles plus pre mgs bump should be very interesting next Wednesday.

So GeOW beat Until Dawn, I guess that's expected. Despite that it looks like a good week for PS4

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I'd like to see numbers. I don't think either game did that great. We'll see what next week looks like. Until Dawn might take the top spot considering it was a surpise hit with reviewers.

So GeOW beat Until Dawn, I guess that's expecting. Despite that it looks like a good week for PS4

In the UK Gears would be expected to sell more but across the EU Until dawn probably sold the most.

[Aura7541]

Madden ends up selling more on the PS4 than on the XBO in the UK. I wonder if the same will happen in the US.

[Dr. Pezus]

Until Dawn is above both Disney Infinity 3.0 and Madden (all SKUS combined) though!
