Metal Gear Solid 4 hits 4.5 million

PS3 News | Konami posts $195 million profit.
Gamespot has recently reported exclusive PS3 title Metal Gear Solid 4 has hit a massive 4.5 million sold, shifting approximately 500,000 additional copies in the October-December quarter of 2008.

Konami has now sold 22.35 million software units across its various franchises for its 2009 fiscal year (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009), with total revenues for these first nine months growing by 5.1 percent to $2.56 billion so far. Profit margins also continued to outpace the year-ago period, with a net income rise of 17.3 percent to $195 million.

The publisher now expects revenues to rise 3.2 percent to $3.36 billion during the year, with profits now projected to grow a mere .3 percent to $203 million, due to concerns of the current global economic downturn.

Probably won't happen until Metal Gear Solid 4: Existence, or whatever they call it.

I brought my copy and don't even have a PS3. I really wanted the bonus Blu-Ray and soundtrack from the US LE.

I bought the game when it first came out, and was blown away by the gameplay and graphics. It was the first game that made me realise the PS3's gaming potential.

It was good to hear this sold well, hopefully it'd silence the people who said it wouldn't even break one million sales due to it being a PS3 exclusive.
