It won't even hit 6 million. The franchise has NEVER been that popular.

It might hit 7, at best.
Many MGS fans wont care about a lousy hack n slash spinoff about Raiden, like myself. MGS was, for me about great plots and twists, and of course Tactical Espionage. Ive yet to see anything from this game that suggests it will be more of the same..........

Is there gameplay footage out there? I just assumed that it would be more stealthy nonsense, with Raiden instead of Snake. And the MGS crowd is a pretty rabid one, if not quite on the level of FF or Madden or GTA fans. I can see it selling around 3 million on each console. Only a remote chance of 5 million on each console though.

Raidens not exactly about stealth, and I heard somewhere it would be hack n slash.

You are a fine example of someone who doesn't know what there talking about.

this is one of the most popular franchise in history of gaming.

Well considering MGS 2 & 3 couldn't reach that on the ps2, Rising won't do it either. It's also a spin-off made by a different team so we dunno how good it'll be.

I agree. I don't think that there's that many more Metal Gear fans than those that bought MGS4, despite what people say about 360 porting, especially given the fact that this is a Metal Gear spinoff
