Less Than A Month And a Half, MGS4 In Bargain Bins?

Kotaku writes: "Metal Gear Solid 4 hasn't even been out a month and a half, but according to Japanese sites, it's hitting the Sofmap "wagon sale" bargain bins where it joins the likes of Virtua Fighter 5 and SEGA's PSP brain trainer. The Konami stealth game was originally released for ¥8,800 (US$82), making it one of the pricier PS3 titles. (Expensive third party PS3 titles tend to book for around ¥7,800 or $72.) Here, what seem to be new copies of MGS4 are going for ¥3,980 ($37). We're not sure if this is an isolated Sofmap store or if other shops in the Sofmap chain are picking up on this price slashing or if this is just a Sofmap summer sale thingy. Amazon Japan has new copies going for slightly above ¥7,000, while the Special Edition is going for ¥5,980. Who knows."

Oh my god! They dare selling it for less than others, so that more people can afford it easier! Fast, call Konami, MGS4 officially flopped!

A little story for everyone:
When MGS4 was released here (Germany), many retailers sold the game (the normal edition) for 45 Euros. Today, most retailers here sell it for anywhere between 55 and 69 Euros. So, did they release it as a "bargain bin" game? No. They do the same with most titles over here (Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, GTAIV, all cheaper the first day).

Man, they really use every little bit against the PS3. I have yet to see a sane person b'tching about a game being not expensive enough. That's just pathetic.

Almost everywhere in Berlin, for all I know. Every major retailer for electronics (Saturn, MediaMarkt) does that, but only for a short period after release, judging from the flyers. Dunno the prices in the rest of the country, though.

lol!!! It is sitting right next to the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive. So it is Japan, then it sits right next to an 360 accessory, but none the less it is the worst possible 1st party accessory, the 360 HD-DVD drive!!!

I love MGS4, but that is an ultimate slap in the face. In the bargain bin with the 360 HD-DVD player in Japan.

I got an extra copy of MGS4 on sale at Circuit City for $50 and received a $10 gift card in addition. There aren't too many games that end up in the bargain bin that fast.

2.2 - Mesh...

They sold 2.5 millions at $50 each... That's 125 millions dollars. If truly it costed them only 40 million to make and manufacture, that's 85 millions dollars to split between Kojima Sony and the distributors. I would say that quite likely, most people got a decent amount of money out of that game no? Why do you think they didn't made a profit? Even if Kojima himself got only 1% of that, that's almost 1 million dollar!

Is it any wonder your down to 1 bubble with idiotic comments like that! MGS4 without a doubt is one of the best titles to come out this year. An absolute gem of a game.

As with any big selling game, with so many copies sold, it is only a matter of time before it winds up in a bargain bin, just like GTA4 and COD4.

$50 each my @ss. I paid 59.99 not including tax so they made more like $149,975,000.

And that figure is not including the Limited Editions that sold for $69.00

if you add those in they made even more, but I don't know how many they sold so far.

It seems that you forget that there are some of us gamers who don't live down the street from you. Some of us do live in Japan. I guess by your logic I should be asking who the fu** cares about news for games in America huh? That's it! Turn in your avatar!!

Seriously tho, I was in Softmap in Nagoya yesterday and saw this bin. I didn't really think much of it, but if I didn't already have the game, I sure as hell would have picked one up. But don't worry. Softmap tends to have strange discounts like this, so I don't think that it's a trend or anything. These discounts are usually pretty short.

I also picked up a 500GB portable HD for almost half the price that other stores were selling it for at the time. I think it's store strategy to keep steal some of the traffic from the much bigger Bic Camera store across the street.

3.2 - The point being, CrazedFiend

is that Kotaku isn't generously handing out free advertising on Sofmap's behalf. Tacki was pointing that out, and you missed it, but not before you went on a sarcastic rant, that Kotaku is tabloid sensationalism. They thrive on the fringe elements of the gaming community that are choking the core game-hobbyists to sleep.

MGS4 on sale? Grab your wallets and stand in line!

MGS4 not selling well because someone took a picture of a bargain bin somewhere in Japan? That's "cutting edge" Kotaku journalism.

i wouldnt say its a bad thing!!

The speed at which people trade in games these days disgust me. Within a week of release, I see most high profile titles ready to go for the low low used price of $54.99. Gamestop, both as an employee and as a consumer, is a joke, but a joke we are stuck with. The titles I've seen most of, as far as traded in en masse and fast, were Halo 3, GTAIV (Both systems), Crackdown, Gears of War, and Call of Duty 2. Mileage at your stores my vary.

Death - 521 days 22 hours ago

12 - If it's an isolated incident, it means nothing,

If after 45 days it's a trend, that means MGS4 has already fullfilled most of the demand and sales have stagnated. That's probably a bad sign, but on par with Metal Gears average tie ratio. I wouldn't get too excited though, as more consoles are sold there will be more demand for it. This is true for all triple A titles on all consoles.

We'll have to see if its just an isolated incident or its cuz of too many copies in the channel. But surprisingly the game that was supposed to be the biggest title till date on ps3 hitting bargain bin within a month sure sounds like trouble for devs making exclusive games for ps3. I still see games like Halo3, Bioshock selling at regular prices and those have been out for 7 plus months.

Kotaku hates ps3, it finds any reason or excuse to write a 'story' which moans about the ps3. That, in turn is then posted to N4G, by probable anti-ps3 'contributers', who as contributers are suppose to post news items that will interest gamers. However, we get some tosh, this being one of them articles, I just wish more people would reach this articles and report them before they become mainstream.

I dont think it will have big numbers there again for MGS4 unless they have some good bundles with the game.

In other areas though, expect pretty good sales for MGS4. I still think there are tons of fans waiting for a bundle seeing that amazon seems to be selling out of MGS4 bundle packs everytime they restock. I also know that as new ps3 owners come along, this will be prolly there first purchase, if not then I dont know why even buy a ps3 for unless there just using it as a movie player since MGS4 is the best title u will find on the ps3.

if a game is in the bargin bin that means that there is not much demand for it, at that price. its the same as when the ps3 or xbox 360 have a price drop, its not because the hardware is cheaper to make, its because most people willing to buy the product at that price have already bought it.

8.7 -

25-26 hours my first time
20 hours my second time (got assasins creed clothes)
17 hours my third time (messing around with stealth camo)
almost 5 hours on my last time
(i got spotted to much so i didnt get big boss face camo )

For a total of about 68 hours of the best gameplay i've ever had.
And that's not counting the 100+ hours i spent on MGO.

So it's desperation to offer a broader range of scores as opposed to your two scores? I guess that's the droid way of thinking.

10.4 - scores don't mean a thing

play the game! in many real GAMERS opinions it is one of the best games ever made!

360 people will say this game sucks until they announce it will be coming to 360.

one of the top 3 games of all time IMO

11 - lol

We're not sure if this is an isolated Sofmap store or if other shops in the Sofmap chain are picking up on this price slashing or if this is just a Sofmap summer sale thingy.

lol i love the couple 360 fanboys response to this....its why kotaku even posted a story like this

Here is a idea since they seem to be a gaming media site! If your not sure if this is a isolated store sale why dont you do some leg work and find out!

Times must be slow for real gaming news over at kotaku or maybe they dont know the difference between news and flamebait...

btw if you can get this game for 40bucks i advise getting it!

12 - haha, this is pretty fake.

Their not even sure what stores are doing this. Kotaku is a pretty terrible news site. They don't really have anything thats ever real on it. MGS4 has been selling like crazy. It was The num 1 best selling game last month. Kotaku are just a bunch of fanboys, they really seem to hate the ps3 for some reason. On G4 when the sony presentation was about to start. they were talking to the editor and chief from kotaku, he seemed really pissed off that he had to be at the sony presentation. You could tell he wanted to go kick a ps3 over. Yep, more BS.

Correct me if am wrong but i don't think those are Japanese copies. Japan got the art drawing box art i remember everyone complaining that they got the better looking box art.

Maybe thats why they are in the bargain bin because Japanese gamers aren't buyin the American version. I don't know am just sayin anyway.

Why do bots keep saying it's a 5 hours game? You can speed run the game in 5 hours skipping all the cut scenes, but normally it will take around 20 hours or so.

Just like the guy above me said halo speedrun takes only an hour more. I guess halo 3 is a one hour game haha.

19 - If your wondering if ppl even play MGS4 anymore???

Check the number of ppl playing MGO around 5pm your time... There's atleast 2900 ppl playing MGO. Most of them have the Expansion too...so... why is this even an issue??? Now ppl can offord the game to play MGO and buy the expansion plus have some extra cash.

MGS4 sold over 4 million copies so Kojima isn't losing at all and it's a way to get more sales for the game in Japan.
MGS4 is by far the best game I've played this gen.
Great story, Game play is superb, best graphics, etc.
PS3 Rules!
Play Beyond or don't play at all.
