The Metal Gear series has sold 49.6 million copies
The Metal Gear franchise has sold 49.6 million copies, as of the end of June 2016. Konami has revealed this in a press release announcing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has won an Award for Excellence at the Japan Game Awards 2016. Lifetime sales were at 49.2 million by the end of March, meaning 400.000 games were sold in these three months.
Konami writes:
Having sold over 49.6 million copies worldwide (as of end of June 2016), the METAL GEAR series of video games features anti-war and anti-nuclear armament themes, and founded the stealth game genre with its gameplay style of having the main characters avoid combat as they infiltrate enemy territory on solo missions. Since the release of the original “METAL GEAR” in 1987, the series’ engrossing story and cinematic presentation have led to high acclaim both domestically and overseas.
With the Definitive Experience releasing in October, the series will likely hit the 50 million mark before the end of the year.

I am curious to know if MGSV surpassed MGS2’s lifetime sales.
The franchise has sold 8.4 million since March 2015, so it could very well have.
Mmmh, so you got a that accurate estimate ? Sorry, I missed it ! 😀
It was at 41.2 as of March 2015: http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=20273
Ha, all right, just me bein nuts (must be really tired), sorry… Dunno why I read it as the overall TPP score…xD Probable wishful thinking… 😀 Thx for the answer.
MGSV will have 10 million lifetime sales in the end.
If you combine both Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain there is no question it did/will.
Amazing game. I’m still playing it to this day. The best Stealth-Action-Adventure title ever in existence.
I was looking forward to this game since it’s first reveal:

This song deserves a much better scene in the game 🙁
This, the Jeep ride totally ruined this song for me.
Hell Yeah man! MGSV the best stealth game EVER!!!!!!! Still my favorite Metal Gear title!
I still didnt play MGS4 and MGS3 but Sins of the father from MGSV is the best song from Metal Gear saga for sure!
Same here, man. Same here.
So do I (played it again last Sunday)… A true pleasure to play with this game !
Amen to that brother!
Grumble grumble, well it had a lot of potential.
(Just obligatorily inserting my opinion, hoping for an upvote so I won’t feel alone anymore T_T) Hahaha.

And big thanks to the company that made metal gear. I forgot their name
To tell you the truh, I secretly hoped for a crazy bonus ending in MGSV. Something crazy like UFO or Dog ending in Silent Hill 2. But nope, we got nothing 🙁
Well, there is still the nuclear abolition cutscene.
Lool
Funnily I was watching this when I saw he comment

What’s THIS?!
Dai un’occhiata al Tweet di @Kaizerkunkun: https://twitter.com/Kaizerkunkun/status/778507552069787653?s=09
A documentary about mad Max’s apocalyptic Australia after the lack of gasoline and other resources
Why is hard to understand?
I don’t think it’s just mad max related… I can’t do some search on the internet at the moment but I think it’s a bigger social-political project, with Mad Max scenario as starting point. I’ll check it later anyway.
But it might just be a documentary with Kojima’s commentary
But yeah
I think that’s the purpose of this kind of documentary
To use the setting of the mad max as a scenario for countries
Now that is interesting
