[Ryoku]

Pretty good game. Fuck Konami.

 

[matrix-cat]

Lucky they got rid of the guy who made that failu- oh wait

 

[RandomExpletive]

Do we have an estimate on how many sold-thru to consumers?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Man of course the only thing we get global is fucking Yugioh.

 

[FZZ]

I see they have FUKKYOU planned for Spring 2016

ayy lmao

 

[Chinner]

 

[SJRB]

Usually with these kind of numbers I'd say something like "nice, good for them", but considering this is Konami, and this is MGSV, I'm struggling to find anything positive to say.

 

[random25]

A new Yu-Gi-Oh! for the 3DS? That's a surprise Konami lol.

 

[Tagg9]

Not a lot of titles planned for the next quarter... Fuck Konami.

 

[Yoshi]

If she is breathing through her skin, doesn't she risk drowning here?

 

[Vasili2K38]

Even with its tacked on online shenanigans and the "incomplete" Chapter 2, its an amazing game. One of the best stealth sandbox games ever made. But for Konami even with this numbers it will be a waste of money -_- .

 

[RandomExpletive]

If she is breathing through her skin, doesn't she risk drowning here?

If she were fully submerged in water, yes. Typically showering doesn't do that

Also she drinks through her skin, so...

 

[cloudzack117]

heh heh heh heh heh heh .....................................

thanks for reminding me i need to replay this game again

 

[Yoshi]

If she were fully submerged in water, yes. Typically showering doesn't do that

I would think quite a lot of water must reach her lungs in this case. Yes, she still can breathe in some air, but putting lots of water into your lungs isn't really helping .

 

[JayEH]

Well Konami may still be horrible for all the shit they've done to the game post launch (and during dev) but it's still a great game and I'm glad that it's doing well.

 

[timetokill]

Konami thanks you for your patronage!

 

[kiunchbb]

Nano machine will filter out most of the water from her lung.

 

[Anth0ny]

nice number.

fuck you konami

 

[Aequitas]

I find this to be very bittersweet.

Spoiler

#FuckKonami

 

[Ibuki]

No, pretty sure she would need to be fully submerged for that to happen.

EDIT: Beaten like a POW

 

[nekomix]

A new Yu-Gi-Oh game for 3DS? Hope they don't forget multiplayer this time.

 

[Jigorath]

Looks like they're losing money on their Pachinko machines.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I don't think it's going to her lungs.

Her lungs were completely burned by the fire, they might be going literally straight into mah veins.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

Nano machine will filter out most of the water from her lung.

Don't you mean...

parasites

?

 

[R-User!]

They drank our milkshake. They drank it up!

 

[SJRB]

parasites

?

Yeah, the parasites absorb the liquids through her skin, and nourishment through photosynthesis.

General rule of thumb: can't logically exlain it? Then it's WOLBACHIA.

 

[OléGunner]

Those are pretty good numbers but I hope that's the limit after Konami have been actively gutting MGS V since post launch.

So yeah Fuck you Konami.

 

[Terrell]

Looks like they're losing money on their Pachinko machines.

Good.

 

[ninjablade]

great numbers for mgsv.

 

[Chola]

And then there is mgs gz

 

[Dragon Puncher]

I hooe high numbers mean we eventually get another "real" Metal Gear game. I would still like to see what that series is, in the hands of someone else than Kojima.

Check out Ghost Babel, the best game in the series and one not by Kojima. It's seriously fantastic.

 

[Possumowner]

Not really surprised, it was in general a great game.Can't wait for the sequel....ON MOBILE

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Good numbers. Congrat Konami, also FucKonami.

 

[Alo0oy]

Do we have an estimate on how many sold-thru to consumers?

Since they shipped an additional million, that means the sell through is higher than the previous shipment, so >5 million.

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

Good for the end of Metal gear.
Eat shit konami.
How about them numbers?

 

[Roufianos]

Not very impressive, didn't MGS4 sell 5 million on PS3 alone?

I'm pretty sure it would have sold tonnes more if they had actually advertised it.

 

[hal9001]

Isn't that over lifetime? This is just under 4 months.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Great numbers for MGSV.

Also #FucKonami.

 

[Ban Puncher]

MGSV sells gangbusters and their pachinko sales are down.


There ain't no schadenfreude quite like Konami Schadenfreude.

 

[Hentailover]

You know, the whole quiet ordeal may be gross, she may be awkward and silly, and kinda embarrassing. But she has nice butt and I enjoyed lookint at it!

There I said it!

 

[Griss]

I'm kind of out of the loop on typical sales numbers for massive blockbusters. These seem good but not amazing for a game with that amount of dev time and manpower? I mean, it's no GTAV, anyway.

I'm guessing that when you add in Ground Zeroes they did massively well out of the whole development, but still.

MGS was always a big seller but never to the extent of nowadays blockbusters (> 10M).

Metal Gear Solid sell in as December 2004.

Metal Gear Solid: 5.51M
MGS Integral: 1.27M
Metal Gear Solid 2: 5.64M
MGS2 Substance: 1.39M

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Well, looks Like this game won't break 10 million LT, probabily something Like >8 million... Which is surprising and sad For me.

I expected why more. Even if i don't Like Konami the game deserve a good success.

well, you can make 3 MGS V with GTA V budget.

 

[gtj1092]

Glad the game continues to sell.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Awesome work Kojima.

Fuck Konami

 

[Moon_frogger]

Awesome work Kojima.

Fuck Konami

Yup. Best action game of the generation. At least it's gonna be hard to top. Can't wait to see what Kojima does next.

 

[JadedWriter]

They drank our milkshake. They drank it up!

Does this mean the head of Konami is going to be beaten to death with a bowling pin?
