Konami has announced it has shipped over one million copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 for PlayStation 3 across Europe during the game’s first week on sale. High sales have been confirmed in all European territories and the game has secured the No.1 position in all the relevant sales charts.

Additionally Konami has confirmed that the limited edition MGS4 set that comprised a ‘Making Of’ Blu-Ray, soundtrack CD and ‘Old Snake’ mannequin was sold out of its 25,000 unit run almost immediately.

“The Metal Gear Solid series has again proved its huge potential, and we are delighted with the fantastic response the game has enjoyed at retail,” commented Martin Schneider, Sales and Marketing Director Germany for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “MGS4 is nothing short of a masterpiece – an epic conclusion to the Solid Snake story. We are extremely pleased with the positive feedback we have received from retail and consumers alike, and will keep satisfying their needs with updates to the game’s ‘Extra’ option, and via new content to Metal Gear Online.”
