June NPD Results: Sony PS3’s Metal Gear Solid 4 Top

[Zarif]

What does it take to top the NPD sales figures chart for games software sold in June, well it looks like Metal Gear Solid 4 did the trick for the Sony PS3.
Its said that over 1600 companies rely on the research that NPD carries out, so you have to take the results they show as a pretty creditable source.
In the past multiplatform games have topped the NPD charts but this time Metal Gear Solid has such a large following that the PS3 exclusive MGS4 not only helped sell Playstation 3 systems but also became the no.1 sold game in June.
The NPD research also showed how the games industry is growing even in the middle of a credit crunch, this June’s software sales was up 61% compared to the same period last year.
Did you help MGS4 get to the top spot and if so what do you think of the game so far?
In fifth place was Nintendo Wii’s Play with Remote (359.100), fourth place went to Wii Fit that comes with a Balance Board (372.700), third was taken by Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 (372.700), second was Guitar Hero On Tour for the Nintendo DS (422.300) and of course first was PS3’s Metal Gear Solid 4 with a massive 774.600 units sold.

Well, someone posted a thread on this weeks ago, and I don't OWN the game, but here goes:

Okay, so the game's pretty fun, but in an age where most games can shape the experiences with the player, the story here is pretty weak for a Metal Gear game. In the first one, there was Psycho Mantis. Here, they have some cool tricks (like the masochistic flashbacks), but I wish they would have thrown in more of them.

If you have a PS3, I strongly recommend this game to you.

That's why I don't have it :D

Also, I can't play M games.

This game is definitely my definition of a "Console selling game" If you have a PS3, but not this game, you need to get your head checked out.

If you liked any other MGS game, you need this one as well. Otherwise you will feel empty and incomplete not knowing how the saga ends, and you will have to kill yourself.
