Mario party has never been the main series for Mario though, nor has it ever been its bread and butter, it has also never been anything different than what it is now.

It's also S-E's fault for investing so much in the unproven new approach of Sony's next console. They and Konami will have to learn the hard way that backing last gen's big hitter blindly doesn't mean it'll be the same this gen. Everyone else was able to play it safe, but instead of try and begin damage control like Capcom who just ported everything they could to the 360, Konami and S-E are actually trying to fight for Sony in what is becomming a rather obvious losing struggle. Neither MGS or FF will be strong enough on their own to save the PS3 and that's why both S-E and Konami are panicking.

I don't think they're panicking yet. Right now it's just worry but they will be panicking soon enough if the sales for MGS4 aren't steller. I know even SE will be watching that. Granted they're 2 different genres but MGS4 needs to be a system seller.
