MGSV has shipped over 3 million.

Nice! Really good start!

[BananaKing]

MGSV has shipped over 3 million.

it will be a 10 million seller when all is said and done.

[Kerotan]

So 10 million initial shipment.  Word of mouth will be better for this than mgs4.

That was targeted at the fans.  This is a fiest of gameplay and will appeal to a much wider audience.

Playstation is like soccer.  It's the world wide brand.  

You mean football... 80% of the world didn't know what soccer is.

Xbox One is like soccer... only US knows it.

MGSV has shipped over 3 million.

Bad.
MGSV on PS3 only shipped the same.

Bad.
MGSV on PS3 only shipped the same.

I'm part of the 20% that knows what soccer is and most of us call it that because we have our own sport we call football.  BTW I'm not American.  

BTW I meant 3 million in my post above not 10 million.

And I think that's good they matched the mgs4 sales.  Word of mouth and legs will be better.  Especially with the number of platforms it's on.

Word from Japan suggests a 300k mgs5 launch on ps4 only.  Would be epic if true.

GFK Chart-Track

Solid Start

07/Sep/2015

'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' lands Konami their first No1 of the year.

It also marks the series' return to the top of the All Formats chart for the first time since 2008. It's a new week 1 high for the series beating the opening week sales of 'Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty' by just under 37%. It's enough to put it at 3rd place in terms of first week sales in 2015 (behind Batman: Arkham Knight & The Witcher III: Wild Hunt). PS4 takes a commanding 72% share over Xbox One which has 22%, while PS3 edges to a 3% share over Xbox 360 with just 2%. Unable to threaten the No1 spot ahead of Metal Gear, Warner Bros' post-apocalyptic open world 'Mad Max' still makes a solid start driving in at No2 in its debut week. After winning the battle of the format exclusives and claiming No1 last week 'Gears of War: Ultimate Edition' (-64%) makes way for the new guys dropping to No3. It remains ahead of Sony title 'Until Dawn' (-52%) down two places to No4, while 'Disney Infinity 3.0' (-35%) also slides two spots to No5.

While the rest of the Top 10 has a somewhat familiar look the Top 40 welcomes another pair of debutants this week. Koch Media bring 'Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse' to Xbox One and PS4 (The PC version was released in 2014) and the title makes it to No35 in its opening week. With the tournament proper on the horizon Big Ben Interactive and Ubisoft bring 'Rugby World Cup 2015' to a host of formats (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, Vita and PC) landing at No39.

Wow, shocker.


Were we seriously discussing VGChartz preorders here?

The regular numbers are like NPD compared to the preorder numbers. They're that bad.

Bad.

Globally in the US

[Aura7541]

Oh man, that's over a 3-to-1 ratio favoring the PS4 version of MGSV. Should be the same in the US, too.
