It probably won't be number one more than 2 weeks, since it is pretty frontloaded. Also, I highly doubt that it will have a huge impact on hardware. The numbers you offered are obscenely high. PS3 sold around 1.85 million units between December 2 and January 6. Are you seriously suggesting that one game is going to cause it to sell greater than 2 million?! That is simply riddiculous. You also seem to think that the majority of people care that it is the last Metal Gear Solid. It will NOT sell better than 1-3. MGS 3 sold LESS than MGS 2, despite debuting with a much larger userbase. MGS 2 launched at 15.5 million userbase, much larger than the 9.22 million userbase the PS3 has now, which won't grow to be that size by the time Metal Gear Solid launches. |
but you guys are not understanding me, since the ps3 lacks a TRUE AAA game this is going to be the one thats everybody has been waiting for, thus people buying a ps3 just for this game. i already know a bunch of people who said there getting a ps3 JUST for this game. thats why i said the attach rate will also be 100% .................. think people, think.
