MGS4 may have trouble outselling the latest 360 Tom Clancy (splinter cell conviction?) game in the US.
Why would MGS3 sell so much less then MGS2 even when the PS2 install base was much higher at the time? Competition from ubisoft's tom clancy series.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
