Metal Gear Solid 4 sells five million, becomes highest-selling PS3 exclusive
by [@salromano] at 02:17 PM EDT, February 7, 2010 .

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has done some numbers since it’s June 2008 release date. In Konami’s Fiscal Year 2010 3rd Quarter Financial Results, the publisher reveals that Snake’s latest has sold over five million copies and has become PS3′s best-selling exclusive title. In this fiscal year alone, Metal Gear Solid 4 sold over 650,000 copies.

It’s no wonder why it’s the best. This is Hideo Kojima we’re talking about, a mastermind, a legend in the video game industry. Let him take his rightful bow.

    I’ve owned my PS3 for several months now, i placed my order for a copy after a friend with an Xbox 360 constantly nagged me to buy a copy so he could play. This should have been one of the first games i bought lol.
