Sony may have already paid them off in some way. And as for sales, this game will be the first KNOWN AAA title for the PS3. It will have a larger install base than Gears of War with more hype. And it will sell in EVERY region. This game will hit atleast 5,000,000 lifetime. It will more than cover production costs. And dont talk about attach rates, just look at Assassins Creed (better on PS3) and COD4 (better on Xbox360 but within 5%) |
hum, sorry but no. Sony is a bigger company with a bigger turn over, but it's way less profitable than MS and they have a lot less money "at disposal".
Maybe MGS5 will sell well. But you cant' be sure. With a larger install base of PS2, previous installment of MGS did barely 4 millions units. And there, you're expecting an attach rate for MGS4 that would be around 50% of PS3 install base ? A bit optimistic IMO.
And we can talk about attach rates. So, the PS3 get good attach rate on COD4 and Assassin, and even GHIII. But what other games did well ? This good results were, sadly, at the expense of the great R&C and UDF. At the same time, Xbox 360 owners also bought RockBand, Mass Effect, Madden, NFS, Halo... Attach Rate is not "per title", it is "per console".
At some point, the question is : will MGS avoid GTA ? Cause if not, even 3 millions can be a far figure for MGS.
