According the the latest numbers in Japan posted on NeoGAF, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots sold 300,000 copies when it was released yesterday in Japan. Those copies consist of 130,000 normal editions and 170,000 limited editions. I wonder how much the United States and Europe sold.

    Hmm…US I’m guessing 800,000? Europe maybe around the same or a bit more.

    Great game, just beat it 10 minutes ago. Total time of completion for me was 18 hours and 41 minutes.

    It’s funny, I read a blog on Wired yesterday where the poster said that the was very little fan fair about this game in Japan and no one seemed to care. Guess he was wrong. I bet sales would have been higher if the launch event wasn’t called off.

    Well I think MGS4 will easily meet that goal Konami has set for it during it’s first week. Didn’t they say something like they need to selll 1 million copies just to break even?
