Do you really think it didn't move consoles or did you post this thread to troll? MGS4 did move a significant number of consoles for the week it released and is on it's way to selling 4 -5 million copies as many of us predicted.
Regarding the Sony can't be saved by x-game nonsense. Just stop. Sony will outsell the 360 by a substantial margin this year at a significantly higher price point. Also, they have a number of software releases in 2008/2009 that will bring in significant revenue. MGS4 is just another brick in the wall.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
