MGS will sell more. Its a stealth action game by default - easier to explain/understand and get behind if your new.
Old heads and new ones will eat this up.

It happens to be my favorite series of all time.
 
Metal Gear.

The gameplay in Death Stranding 2 has been a big disappointment to be honest personally, no challenge and the repetitiveness and grind defeated me.

Can't wait to play mgs3 with modern graphics
 
If we take the same remake of Silent Hill 2 - if I remember correctly, the last one published figures of 2 million copies. DS2 at the moment seems to have something around 1.3-1.4 million within one platform, not counting the PC version (which will naturally be released). It will depend on how well the remake is done and how much players really miss the MGS brand. But in the end it may well turn out that all 3 games will have approximately the same sales.

It's a remake of a niche, old ass game. What do you think the game will realistically sell this year?

Old ass game, sure, but niche? c'mon man.

And I think it's gonna do decently, maybe not CoD or AC Shadows numbers but it will probably do decent numbers, with Madden releasing the same month, it's probably not gonna be the #1 game of the month but I wouldn't be surprised if it bypasses DS2 easily.

Let's make it simple Do you think it cracks the top 20 YTD chart for 2025?

I think it might be close to a tie. MGS is overpriced. Silent Hill 2 had a lot of hype and didn't sell tons either.

The original Silent Hill 2 sold aprox. 1 million copies...MGS3 without counting the remasters and bundles has sold 4 million... so its a much more popular game.

Having said that.. SH2 remake already sold 2 million copies, a mark that I think DS2 still didn't hit (people can correct me).

Both games are niche but MGS3 much more so in 2025. The game is 100 years old at this point. If demand was that strong the recent MGS classic collection would have lit the charts on fire.

Death Stranding 2 will do better overall because it's a brand new game from Kojima, not some sloppy seconds.
 
I enjoyed MGS series especially Mgs1 and Mgs4. For me it depends if MGS3 remake is technically good for it to attract allot of buyers. I saw some footage and there still some technical issue for me. DS2 for me is a generational game because it is so beautiful, epic scale and cerebral. And along with E33 and DKB, Ds2 is one of the leading candidate for game of the year candidate.

What happened to Kojima old and new creations that their games were degraded to Niche status?

MGS is a franchise with almost 70 million sold games.... while DS2 is the definition of NICHE game, it wont sell even more than the first game because a lot of people bought and hated (me included) ... I think you coudnt be more wrong about your evaluation of a MGS remake. Its the easiest crow to serve in history
 
Right now, I'm going with DS2, because of marketing reasons, and how Sony handles first party, their scope and budget.

The MGS fanbase is an aging, very adamant fanbase, and without Kojima, it's hard to penetrate this ceiling. No, I'm not talking about Survive here.

Another important thing to note: Snake Eater was the least selling entry in the franchise, before Peace Walker and Portable Ops (mainline entries). Though it was significant, it was ~5 million or slightly more (not counting the Subsistence versions).

The real comparison will be when DS2 is out on PC, Xbox and Switch 2 later.

I want to see MGS outselling DS, but it's going to be very tough.

I think that some of you thinks that Kojima relevance when is come to sales is more important than really is… IMO the Metal Gear franchise is way bigger than Kojima in that respect. Will see what happens with Metal Gear Delta.

DS fanbase is the exact same one of MGS (minus a lot of people that didnt like DS proposition).... I would say even more.. DS fanbase its the extreme Kojima fanbase... I highly doubt this extreme fans that adore even his mailman simulator will not buy this MGS3 remake (which many consider to be his best game). And than there's all the rest of potential buyers.

MGS3 has sold 4 million copies according to Wikipedia. I think it can sell 10% of that on the first year, easily.

It depends on the marketing campaign, IMO. It comes out in a bit over a month from now, so if Konami is going to give it full support they should start in the next few weeks.

I'm loving DS2 but I think it has less appeal than MGS because of the topic and the genre. Also Delta is multiplat.
 
MGS3 is an all time game, I think it will do well if it is faithful. DS2 is new and improved. But I don't know that is has the name recognition of MG
 
DS2 is probably close to 2m now.
I think if delta gets 7-8/10's and reviews that say it's nice to play again but not perfect, it'll struggle to beat DS2 - but if it gets a lot of 9-10/10's and 'this is how you do a fucking remake' reviews, it'll beat it out easy.

MC score is irrelevant when it comes to sales…
