Critically acclaimed stealth action romp Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has now sold over 4.75 million copies globally since its launch in June 2008, Konami said today.
The Japanese software giant also confirmed that the game’s accompanying online segment, Metal Gear Online, has attracted 1.3 million users worldwide. Pro Evolution Soccer also proved popular among consumers, with the series shifting 8.5 million units last year.
Sales jumped 4.2 percent this past fiscal year, though profits are down by 40 percent, clocking in at 10,874 million yen (£2.1 billion).
