| crumas2 said: It sounds as if you're saying that a huge, pent-up demand for MGS4 is out there, and PS3 owners are simply not buying other games at a rate even in the same order of magnitude as they will for this particular title. From what others have said in this forum, I can imagine that there are a lot of fans waiting for MGS4 to come out, and I can also imagine it possibly selling more on day 1 than any other PS3 title has, but what is the largest day 1 sales for any PS3 title? I believe AC was a highly anticipated title, but it sold < 500K the first week, and we're talking sales for the first day.
Then again, if PS3 owners are as rabid for MGS as 360 owners were for Halo 3, I guess it could happen. But I heard this concerning other PS3 titles over the past few weeks, and it just never happened. Time will tell, I guess.

Never wrote up the 'word' huge, but the following has to be respected. And theres a large portion of gamers out there waiting for this title to hit the streets. That cant be denied.
The software sales in the states are definitely disconcerning. But on the other fronts they're actually very dangerously close to outperforming the 360 software sales. And those are the regions where the install base is actually lower compared to the 360's. So sales are actually decent if some one would care to think about whats happening outside of the states.
Dont forget, like I have mentioned in my previous posts: Assassin's creed has been an anticipated title, but certainly not compared to the grounds of Halo 3 for example. Or MGS4.
