Holy Crap!!!!!! MGS2 at 1.8million sold!!!!!!
« on: November 28, 2001, 04:35:46 PM »
Konami of America announced today that more than 1.8 million copies of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty have now been sold into the retail channel since the game first shipped on November 13, 2001.
"We\'re thrilled with the business that Metal Gear Solid 2 has done in its first two weeks on store shelves," said **** Wnuk, Executive Vice President of Konami of America, Inc. "Reorders were coming in from the retail level by the end of the first day of sales. We knew that there was going to be a huge demand for the new Metal Gear, but even we have been surprised by the overwhelming reaction from gamers across North America."

Now that was fast!!!!!! Just think guys this game is only out in the U.S. as of now. That is just too sweet their. Btw, MGS2 is perhaps the best game ever and deserve the sells.

I saw you post this exact same thread at TeamXbox and I\'m going to say what one of the people other there pointed out.

Its only 1.8 million sold to retail chains. Not actually sold to customers.
Still, it probably has very good sales numbers anyway

I hate to bring everyone down but that makes me kind of mad.

North America is probably the most loyal to the MGS series, and we get none of the extra little goodies?

kind of a downer...we spend all the money on the game to make it a super success and we don\'t get nothing little special in return..

No surprise there.

Best selling Ps2 game ever.

I met him 15 years ago, I was told there was nothing left, no reason, no concious, no understanding and even the most rudamentory sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong, I met this 6 year old child with this blang pale emotionless face and, the blackest eyes, the devils eyes, I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up because I realised what was living behind that boys eyes was purly and simply evil.

at the moment its still final Fantasy 10 with its well over 2 million sold in an even shorter time.

but both have still to be released world wide so we will know who sold the most by the time of the PAL launch.
