i see a 6.5/10 in Rising, the only sales will be from mgs4 ultra fans (still a lot of people)

I dont think the game will even make it to half of what mgs4 sold, even with both consoles combined.

hopefully it will cause something like this to never happen again. It is completely blatant, and should be to all of you that there was some huge amounts of money thrown around for this title on 360, and it has become very clear that kojima really wants nothing to do with Rising, but is getting paid a big wad from konami to pretend hes all for it (which he isn't doing a good job of).

Microsoft pays a huge sum to konami, konami pays a huge sum to kojima, and all 3 of them end up making big in profits. So in other words, if this game doesn't sell very well, it is going to crush both companies.

Naturally MS paid money and that is the ONLY reason Rising is on 360 - it has nothing to do with the fact that 360 has a larger userbase.  Plus, Kojima's recent relationship with MGS has been stormy to begin with.  He was not originally going to have anything to do with MGS4, he complained about MGS 3.  Frankly, if someone else wants to take the reigns, great!  I tire of MGS anyway, now maybe he'll do something else - like SNATCHER.

Also, since PW is on PSP, that makes a Wiimake very possible.  And, before you say, "Kojima hearts Sony", well he practically begged for Snake to be in SSBB.  Also, we know that he and Shiggy share a great deal of mutual respect.

Oh and, Rising will sell very well, but - even if it didn't MS won't be crushed.

I find it amazing that - since Rising is on 360 - it must be bad.  Fanboys are amazing!  Good god, I don't own a 360 (only PS3), and I am happy that it is on 360.  More sales, more opportunity.
