Official numbers are yet to come in regarding Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots sales in the United States, but earlier this morning Konami was ready to let everyone know how well the game’s doing across the pond in Europe. It happens to be extremely well, as they announced the game has sold one million units in its first week.
“The Metal Gear Solid series has again proved its huge potential, and we are delighted with the fantastic response the game has enjoyed at retail,” commented Martin Schneider, Sales and Marketing Director Germany for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “MGS4 is nothing short of a masterpiece – an epic conclusion to the Solid Snake story. We are extremely pleased with the positive feedback we have received from retail and consumers alike, and will keep satisfying their needs with updates to the game’s ‘Extra’ option, and via new content to Metal Gear Online.”
With numbers like that for Europe, it’s going to be very interesting to see the numbers for our neck of the woods whenever Konami decides to tell it.
