| Girl Gamer Elite said: Now this thread has gone from criticism of those who want to believe this rumor to sad diplays of diehards trying to rally public reassurance amongst one another that MGS4 will not only remain PS3 exclusive, but will be superior on the PS3, is under Kojima's complete control even above that of Konami's, will sell millions in spite of the PS3's userbase, and that it won't be like every other franchise comming off of last generation which up until now has had declining sales with each subsequent successor. Listen, if you're going to call the rumor mongers pathetic and tiresome you could do yourself a favor by not raising the bar yourselves in these transparent displays of insecurity and fear. You act as if establishing any sort of popular consensus here among your peers will dismiss the rumors or encourage people to buy the PS3 version the day it comes out instead of waiting to see if their is a 360 version. You act as if anything you say here can actually change anything or for that matter put your fears to rest. Since the only thing up until now that has been able to give any of you peace of mind is ignoring the issue, do yourself a favor and ignore this thread if it bothers you that much. Rumors will persist no matter what the circumstance and like it or not there is plenty of reason to suspect if not out right assume this one will come true, I think that's why you all respond so violently towards it. |
It's just sad that you don't even use the site you post on before you claim a high selling franchise is only a niche game.
| Name | Console | Publisher | Japan | America | Others | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Metal Gear Solid | Konami | 0.78 | 2.81 | 2.00 | 5.59 |
 | Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty | Konami | 0.85 | 2.29 | 2.42 | 5.56 |
| Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater | Konami | 0.86 | 1.42 | 1.68 | 3.96 |
 | Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops | Konami | 0.38 | 0.31 | 0.31 | 1.00 |
And yes, rumors will persist, but the fact remains the game is PS3 only. If it comes out 10 years later as another console's dlc I'm not sure anyone will care. It's niche, afterall.
While we're clearing up misconceptions: Gran Turismo sells much better than Halo and is up there with Grand Theft Auto in that respect. I don't think Sony will release Gran Turismo 5 on 360, either.
