I wish people would realize one or two games won't suddenly boost a console sells and pull it out of any kind of slump or whatever.  Not saying the PS3 is in a slump, I'm just saying MGS4 isn't suddenly going t oboost sales by 10 million.

 Want proof?  Look at the Gamecube.


You can't compare the PS3 to the GC.  The market has changed too much, the PS3 sales will blow the GC away.  The GC also had a very bad Zelda in the wind waker, and a bad Mario game. The GC also had very front heavy sales, while the PS3 sales will continue to get stronger.

Yeah, the Gamecube doesn't have a bad Zelda game, but a "very" bad Zelda game:

96 is a bad score. Everything from 97+ is good. Everything below is garbage. Yeah...

Oh, the Gamecube has a bad Mario game. Not a "very" bad Mario game, but a bad Mario game:

92? Wow, that's so low! Super Mario 64 got 94, but Sunshine got 92? That's pathetic. I didn't even know that scores went that low.

Gamecube didn't have a single Metroid game. For shame... for shame...
