Why doesn't Sony listen to Square Enix?

MGS4 will not be affected by any of this. PS3 owners will buy this game because its a proven franchise and PS3 owners are hungry for great games. Now that GTAIV is delayed til 08, this plays into Sony's hands, because you have two proven franchises releasing within months of each other. Now setting everything aside, do you honestly think that the 360 in four years can keep 2nd place in the console war? Without support in Japan there is little chance that the 360 can maintain 2nd place this gen, in fact, they have practically gave up on Japan.

 Since the 360 doesn't brag about games as far in advanced as Sony does it's really hard to say. But since GTAIV will be on the 360 with extra content you can count that out automatically as a big seller for the PS3. MGS is a proven franchise but it really doesn't sell that much and one could argue that everyone who was going to puy a PS3 for MGS4 already has since it's only been hyped as one of the primary reasons to own one next to Blu-Ray. MGS4 will sell well, but don't expect too much out of it.

In fact GTAIV and MGS4 commng out so close together is bad for MGS4 as everyone will be buying GTAIV.

Most likely for the 360 too.
