The average sales of the first three MGS titles was 5 million, not including spin-offs and Xbox versions.

MGS4 is tracking to come in to around 4 million lifetime according to VGChartz, unless it sees ungodly sales during the holiday period, or bundling (of which it has already had a great deal).  Given this title had an enormous budget compared to previous titles (even when taking account of the progression to the next generation), did MGS4 fail to meet its sales expectations?

Note:  Due to Sony moneyhatting, and solid sales of the game, I am positive Konami made a reasonable amount of profit on the game.

 I'll do what you always do when people say MS moneyhats (which they are actually known for)

Got proof?

About as much proof as you have that ToV, Star Ocean, Ace Combat and Eternal Sonata were moneyhatted.

Sometimes in life, we employ common sense.

 

Because Eternal Sonata was "timed" exclusive, ToV fell off of even being available on the PS3 (it initially was supposed to be on there), Ace Combat used to be PS3 exclusive, same with Star Ocean.....AND SE has even said they wanted to not favor any one company, yet SO4 is exclusive and FFXIII is multiplatform.

The moneyhatting proof is in the metaphorical pudding

 

Wrong! Neither were confirmed as an exclusive for the company. People just assumed from rumors and fanboy wishes.

 

SO4 was never annouced for the PS3. It was annouced for HD platforms. They chose to stick with the 360 for ovbious reasons. ($$$$$)
