A game this good deserves it's sales. Good to see people are continuing to buy it in respectable numbers each week, steadily increasing it to that 7 million mark it's predecessors managed. Not like it sold a crapton first day/week and everyone forgot about it . >.>

Yeah, i've seen some ads on TV... but it looks like crap compared to playing and watching it on our PS3s. Or it could just be the $3000+ piece of crap 56" SDTV in my parents living room.

This is a stellar title, and Kojima deserves and his team deserve all the success their gonna get, I hope it sells more than a lot of the other over-hyped chart toppers that have been coming out recently

No names need be mentioned.

These guys put a lot of effort, hard work, and dedication into this title, and it shows.

Cannot say it enuff, Great Game.

Peace out gamefans.

6 - wait a minute...
So about 1 mil sold in all of Europe so far according to GfK

about 544k in Japan so far according to media create

about 645k in America so far according to *vg chartz*

=OK, so vg chartz is waaay off as usual, they have MGS4 at almost 1.9 mil worldwide. Now according to their *own US numbers + these numbers its more like 2.2 mil sold so far, a difference about 300k. Now of course we have to wait for NPD to really see how much they were off in the US, but either way I doubt they will be that far off to make sonys statement of 3 mil sold (to consumers) legit, they would have had to sold almost 1.5 mil alone in the US so far to achieve that 3 mil sold figure. With all the talk by some on n4g, some might have expected much more but either way those a great sales for a great game.

Hey, I though that, according to Crytek, Europe was only good for casual gaming!
