The sales figures have yet to come out but what is known is what the overall shipped number of copies has reached the three million mark. MGS4 has been released June 12th and has made quite a showing in sales ever since. The game has also reached a million sales in Europe and 500,000 copies in Japan.

Famitsu.com, in its coverage from a Sony investor meeting in Tokyo today, reported that the game has topped this milestone in worldwide shipped units. Speaking at the meeting, Sony Computer Entertainment president Kaz Hirai also noted that the game helped shift hardware.

Games were put a bit on the back burner for this particular briefing though, as Hirai announced a number of non-game initiatives for the PS3 and PSP, including new video and news services.
