Not until Famitsu releases its september digital estimates. Going to take some time.
I think the release window is still Q4 2015. It will be playable at TGS, so I expect a release date announcement there.

A pretty solid (no pun intenteded 
) start for Metal Gear Solid 5. I expect some decline in overall LTD, but the LTD might not be as bad as some of the other big franchises we've seen dropped in this generation.
) start for Metal Gear Solid 5. I expect some decline in overall LTD, but the LTD might not be as bad as some of the other big franchises we've seen dropped in this generation.I wonder if there were any licensing issues for this in Japan. From what i know, the Mr. Dream version never came out for Famicom, no?
475,129 in total (Xbox One version included)
Well, PS3 after >600% boost in Thanks Metal Gear is dropped by Over 70% The Second week...
But This time The boost is small than 200%, so, PS4 should drop by ~60% next week or so, that's mean >20k again, not bad for me.
3 platforms, actually
Oh You.

I guess next week will show which tracker was closer to the truth with MGS (If Famitsu has steeper drop for MGS)

Code:
01./00. [3DS] Super Robot Wars BX <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.08.20} (¥7.171) - 98.184 / NEW <80-100%>
09./01. [3DS] Super Robot Wars BX <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.08.20} (¥7.171) - 12.695 / 110.879 <80-100%> (-87%)
19./09. [3DS] Super Robot Wars BX <SLG> (Bandai Namco Games) {2015.08.20} (¥7.171) - 2.539 / 113.418 <80-100%> (-80%)I don't remember seeing two consecutive +80% drop for any game unless it is facing severe supply issues or the word of mouth is very toxic. I don't know if that's the case for Super Robot Wars BX.
Even the extremely toxic Tales of Zestiria didn't drop by 80% in its third week, although it was very close (-74%).

No estimates, but we know that the absolute minimum is around 2650 going by the japanese PS Store (only those who have bought it could have ranked it). In reality, its higher because a lot of people dont bother raking, but thats the number that we know for sure.

Where can I find the Japanese releases for the rest of the year?
He talks for sw and you bring up hw. I don't know how this works.
well bloodborne sold like 45k if i remember correctly
If that's the case I'm guessing 10-20K.
If it's something similar for MGSV (though I would expect the number to be higher in this case), the overall number should be close to or over 500K.

Because KooopaKid wasn't talking about PS4 numbers.

Doesn't the "80-100%" means the percentage of stock sold? Then it may be supply.
Even looking at sw, MGSV still sold incredibly well.
Sure it does for big sellers.

Maybe, but considering the natural increase in budget MGSV would have received compared to MGS4, not having any user growth to accommodate that increase might negate the strength of the amount of units sold. Sometimes numbers don't really add up. I don't know though, since i'm not a Konami accountant.
Not only Japan...

Why do ppl keep bringing up the two platforms thing?
I could understand if it was x1 and ps4 being the two platforms (outside of Japan) , but ps3 and ps4... Obviously, alot of those users have upgraded from ps3. Are u expecting them to buy a ps3 and ps4 copy?

Well then Japan is the wrong place to look at. West is where the gains could be made (In UK at least MGSV opened higher than MGSIV).
Wut?
Outside of Japan is where the series sells the most and the more open world aspect of MGSV is definitely aimed at that audience.
I'm sure Konami is happy with consistent Japanese numbers considering how dead ppl think console gaming is in Japan.
Yeah in the end Japanese market will be like tenth of the overall gaming market (or even less). At least Japanese devs are seriously prioritizing Western market more and more..

Even if you look at sw, I don't know how anyone would find those numbers disappointing unless they expected it to outdo MGS4's debut by a significant margin. It's a very good debut, especially with consoles being in the state they are in Japan.
are there some DL Cards or Bundel Games?

WOM seemed good when the game launched. I saw it had some supply problems on Amazon last week.

You have to have perspective.
Took two versions of Metal Gear Solid 5 to do it too.
Speaking of Splatoon I wonder if after the holidays it maxes out at 1 million in Japan. Or very close to it.
169,880.

If you had told me 6 months ago Splatoon would possibly outsell MGSV I would have locked you up and thrown away the key.

Wait, what?
Metal Gear Solid is not a big enough seller for it to matter significantly. Famitsu openings for MGS2-5 are all in the same ballpark despite some radically different userbase sizes (2M to over 15M).

If ps4 and ps3 didn't have the same audience it would be disappointing that MGS5 sold less then then MGS4
Well, if you include digital sales, it's extremely likely that TPP did better than 4.
This is actually one of the few franchises that showed growth, not decline, on next gen.
