This game is going to be huge, this is the Halo or Zelda for the PS3, some people will buy a PS3 just for this game. Metal Gear Solid(PS) sold 5.51 million copies, Metal Gear Solid 2 sold 5.59 million copies and Metal Gear Solid 3 sold 3.75 million copies( and I am not sure if that includes the revision Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence). This game will sell at least 3.5 million most likely over its lifetime if not more.
If this game turns out to be the last MGS game then it might sell even more and if turns out to be as good as the hype makes it out to be, it could sell even higher.
