Metal Gear Solid 4 is old now and the only proven IP he mentioned besides that is God of War and Gran Turismo and they are not comming out for a long time . Resistance is about a 2 million seller, nothing massive. Xbox has Gears 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars on the horizon. |
I disagree with you because sales of PS3 games prove they're more important than you make them out to be. Resistance: Fall of Man to date has sold 2.95 million copies, which is 350,000 copies more than the original Fable did to date when Fable was released 2 years earlier. I think you're overestimating both the sales boosts for Fable 2 and Gears 2. Gears of War sold alot of games, at 5.28 million, but that's at about 2 years, and Metal Gear Solid 4 has already sold closing on half that in a little over a month.

And? MGS was pretty front loaded. Getting over 5 Million is only possible if Sony continues to pack it in for quite some time.

MGS4 will probably see a bost this holiday as well

to add to that,

a guesstimate on my part puts gears at 2.3 after 5 weeks and mgs at 2.5 after 5 weeks, so they aren't tracking far apart. so I guess you could say that gears was pretty "front loaded" as well.

Also, Gears of War was released in November which is right at the beginning of the Holidays and Christmas boost.
MGS4 had the benefit of not too much competition during its release, but the Summer is usually slower in sales.
