Konami wants 1 Million Sales of MGS4 in Japan Alone + Other Info

[Riot Of The Blood]

Konami wants the impossible—they want huge sales on a dead/failure console. Even Final Fantasy XIII would have a hard time reaching 1m on the PS3's current Japanese user base. The PS3 has had several games that are even bigger in Japan than Metal Gear, yet none of them have even reached 500k. I don't know what makes Konami think that Metal Gear Solid 4 will get a near 50% attach rate when even Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games don't even get that. Metal Gear just isn't a huge IP in Japan, and even if it was, the PS3's user base is not big enough for those type of sales.
