it will maybe not be so popular around the MGS-fans or people who bought MGS4 and lovet it...because it is a totally different game genre-wise...the normal Kojima MGS is stealth-action...this Rising will be more action-orientated...Raiden is a Ninja...so this will be definatly kind of hack & slash like Ninja Gaiden,Bayonetta & God of War...and people who loved that game will maybe be attracted to Rising cause its elements...and gamers who rather play fast-action games like FPS instead of a more slowly-MGS4...they would be also a good audience for Rising...so if everything works right with good promoting and good reviews this could be a great AA title with a possibility to sell 5 million units...
lets say even if only the half of the MGS fans & buyers of MGS4 will buy this we got over 2.5 million buyers...with the owners who like and buy games like God Of War & Bayonetta casuals who will of course buy it cause they wanna enjoy a decent game and MGS Rising will be a nice action game from the Konami/Kojima family so with that we got maybe again 2.5 million...
plus the fact its multi...i see this game selling great in americas...of course not as good like on the PS but i can Rising see selling 500.000 there on the Xbox...maybe 300k from Europe and with a little bit of luck maybe even become a million seller...so i think Rising got a good chance of selling 5 million...
