MGS4 sold what it did because of the ip and fans. Correct the J man if he is wrong but MGS 4 got minimal marketing and sold what it did due to the ip.

It had like 4 bloody years of hype on Internet forums and magazines, a worldwide release, different bundles and a party with Hideo Kojina on the US. ....... Is that minimal?

 

You can hype a game for years and it will not generate sales (lbp as an example) . What the J man means is that the general public has no clue what mgs is (to the best of their knowledge they might know who snake is as a character) but it still sold 4 mill which is roughly 21% of the ps3 userbase.

So how did that happen?

The answer is that the fans of mgs 4 were eagerly awaiting this game and bought it , and mgs 4 sales are in line with the rest of the series games so that should tell you the story. There may have been people who bought in to the hype but the number of fans who bought in to the brand and story far outweigh them.

 

KZ2 doesnt have this luxury so it will be very , very dificult or it to even pass 2.5 mill let alone pass mgs 4
