Are you ready John Lucas?

Just because a game is running on a system at E3 doesn't mean that it will ever actually be released for that system ...

His prediction can come true up until the day the game is actually released

I never understood the logic behind that prediction.

Coming to another platform is one thing, but not coming out for the platform it was originally developed for - is another. There is no reason for them to NOT bring it to the PS3.

I agree with the bundle screwing part, however:


My opinion? Don't buy. With an estimated 4 million unit shipping before the end of the year, I have a hard time believing you, Joe Consumer, won't be able to walk into Target, a Best Buy, a Circuit City, and score one, along with games you actually want. Rage against the bundle machine! Don't let the Man dictate what you buy!


Excellent example. I kinda doubt a kotaku writer will stop by to accept his dish of crow, though. But if they happen to ...


 Great picture. Mind if I steal it?

It woul be good to show this when someone is proved wrong.

Do as you will, in the name of crow eating, of course!

and after that he told us how amazing it would be to swing our tennis racket to play a game.

Well we seem to agree on one thing for the first time ever (maybe last?)

Also, he had a theory about how Kojima hated HD or something among other stuff. Basically taking a bunch of stuff he said in different interviews and putting them together and coming up with the fact that the game that has been in the works for a year is actually just going to be completely dropped....  

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I don't think it is a likely situation, but similar things have happened in the past and will likely happen in the future ...

My point was that Metal Gear Solid 4 doesn't have a solid release date so it is possible that it could switch platform if Konami wished it. It is also possible (however unlikely) that Konami could decide that they would never recover the ammount of money currently spent on production of MGS4 by releasing it on any next generation platform and they could cancel it rather than take greater losses; most games are canceled for this reason and the only thing that makes this unlikely is the number of copies MGS would sell on any platform.

But, if he is right, then we all expect you to be in here with crow in hand, ready to eat...


If the Wii gets 240 million in sales like he said, then I'll gladly eat crow.



Wow at some of the people that are going to be having crow for dinner in the coming weeks.

I would like to thank FishyJoe for posting the information first and making this crow session possible

Look at it this way. Sony is in the hole deep. Now tell me, are you going to lower the sales cost and lose even more money on each PS3 sold further compounding your losses over the holiday season or are you going to keep it 600 and gradually lower production costs allowing for a better return and let the Holiday season sell a boat load of the more expensive units before considering a price cut? Besides I don't think a Single Sony fan should want a PS3 price cut, if they have so much faith in the games, they should relish the fact that Sony will be making their money back sooner by keeping the price where it is.

Also, think of the psychological fallout, a price cut sounds good to you who already owns a Ps3 and wants more people to own one, but at this point it wouldn't sound too good to a perspective buyer. Crazy you say? Hear me out. Imagine a console dropping in price, $100 or $200 dollars in its first year, not even the Dreamcast went down the shitter that fast. You drop the price on the PS3 now and yeah, you'll have a considerable sales spike, but no where near what it could have been because you've just scared off the majority of potential buyers by taking the action of a company trying to liquidate stock before abandoning a product. Who wants to buy a console that's about to die? And even though the PS3 isn't dying, try telling that to the casual consumers whom don't keep up on Sony news and whom you've just made shit themselves.
