Metal Gear has been a franchise since the same year as Final Fantasy. And to be honest Fallout's franchise only has 2 games that people on a Worldwide level played. Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics were PC only and not the most popular games.Charcharo said:It aint about outselling (which BTW is without enough info as Bethesda and other RPGs sell over time). It is about what is more popular. I am almost 100% certain that Fallout is a more well known series world wide.AzrealMaximillion said:I don't know. No Fallout game has outsold an MGS main series title (with the exception of MGS3) and MGSV is the first in the series to not be console exclusive.Charcharo said:By a big margin Fallout.
Though both are small and niche compared to other games.
Fallout is a big franchise, but MG has been around as long as Final Fantasy.
Of course, both games cant even hope to compare to GTA or CoD and should not even be compared to WoT and LoL... as those have more people playing them per day than any other franchise can muster in its existence at this point, but that is the beyond AAA part of gaming...
Metal Gear Solid 1-5 have sold millions with each iteration. MGS and Fallout (3 & New Vegas have similar sales numbers as. Fallout it more known here in the West, but MGS is known here and in Japan as well.
I'm still giving it to MGS for bigger fanbase, its been here much longer, has more games in its franchise released and sold, and has audiences where Fallout doesn't. That and the fact that (Barring the Twin Snakes remake for GC) MGS has always been an exclusive and does Fallout sales numbers. Now that its on all major platforms its got a better chance at selling more than Fallout.
If its about what series is more popular MGS has that in its long history compared to Fallout, which really is just Fallout 3 and NV.
