Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to mention that MGS4 was heavily bundled, so it's probably not the best example for you to use.

And it was bundled with the last of the BC PS3s, too. In my case, it was the BC feature that sold me on the bundle (I don't like Metal Gear at all yet here I sit with a copy of the game!).

 

you are just a tangent variable. While I dont deny that there are probably other like you out there, it is optimistic to think that this is a huge number by any standards.

There are plenty of little tangents that have some swaying of the verdict yet not enough to push it to either side. Like the fact that many games this gen are timed exclusives, varry in quality over the platforms, 360 frequently gets DLC exclusive, or the fact that PS3 versions come standard with extra content.

I don't doubt I'm in the minority as far as getting the MGS4 bundle while not giving a tinker's damn about MGS. However, the bundle was the best deal at the time for those in the market for a PS3, so it's not illogical to believe that a lot of people who don't comprise this "loyal fanbase" wound up getting a copy of this game, thus helping it to post sales comparable to (though still less than, so far) MGS games on PS2.

At any rate, I have to conclude that we'll simply have to agree to disagree if you can really so confidently assert something like, "All the sales of the PS3 version would have been for 360 latter in the years." I don't think I can disabuse you of that notion, and you'll never convince me of it as I find it simply mind-boggling.
