The latest hardware and software sales have been published by VGChartz which I was about to report on until I spotted the sales figures for Battlefield Bad Company…
First lets post the hardware sales…
Wii – 502k (wow)
DS – 419k
PSP- 198k (Third spot.. not bad)
PS3 – 158k
360 – 130k
So another huge week for the Wii… Anyway back to those Battlefield sales.
After the first week Battlefield has sold over 470 000 units, which is pretty impressive. What is really impressive though is that the Xbox 360 version counts for 332k of those sales… Outstripping the PS3 version 2.5:1…. I can see Microsoft using that in a press statement soon enough.
However Sony will be very happy with the MGS4 sales, this week it topped over 2 million sales.. That is way more than I expected it to move in only 3 weeks.
Oh and GTAIV is about to break 10 million in combined sales…

Bad company is good and deserves good sales. I’m sure it will get to 1mil on each platform.

What did I say about MGS way back when? Kojima is the truth.

2 million isn’t enough to redefine a generation… which is one of the phrases I think you used 😛

Reminds me, I have to put Bad company down soon and play some more MGS4.
Then again, blowing shit up is just more fun! 😈

Uh. Sorry PDB. In short, No.
For the “10/10 uber most l337 awesomest game eva that pwns everything”, that MGS is supposed to be, in 2 weeks it’s still at less than PS3 GTA4 did in its first week.
Regardless of more hype than Halo, It’s still just a niche fanboy favourite, although a rather large niche.

Okay fair enough, there’s no Snake cola 😉 But the MGS4 hype machine was right there.

Every time you think of playing MGS while you’re in Battlefield, just blow up a barrel and reconsider. 😉
