Wow ., this is one old comment .

Oh , and Louie ... 5-6k is IMO still a huge strugle in Japan . Afther the release of MGS4 and FFXIII I dont see the 360 even hitting 1 million ... even if it will , it willl be just waaaaay at the end of the generation ...

Of course X360 will pass 1M in Japan soon. Just look at the numbers. I'd say before February 2009, but we'll see about the exact date.

And on topic: every previous PS3 exclusive going multiplatform is a win for X360. Not that the sales for the games (in Japan) would rival those for the PS3 versions, but it would up the "plateau" level of X360 sales in Japan.

Right now Konami has to sell about 4 million copies of MGS4 to break even. And believe me, MGS is not a game Konami wants to break even with. It´s possibly their biggest game and they will want an enormous profit on it.

Say PS3 has 10 M install base by April, that means an attach rate of 40% to break even, this will be next to impossible, let alone make a profit. (For refrence± MGS 3 sold a little under 4 million on PS2).

So either Sony pays Konami a lot of money or the´ll port it to the 360.

I guess it just proves how much you can READ INTO something.

 4 million? About 1-1.5 million will be enough.
