I will also add here (forgot to place in the prior post) the entire feeling I got out of MGS4 hype was that it served as fanboy console war ammo, in that it HAD to be good, to be able to strengthen the case for getting a PS3. MSG4 couldn't afford to stand on its own merits, it HAD to be more. FF 13 I would also say was similar, until it went multiplatform, then it got dumped on, because it stopped serving this purpose. On the 360 side, I would argue the original Gears of War fit into a similar boat as MSG4, in that it couldn't stand on its own merits alone.
