Lair, Heavenly Sword, Blacksite 51, Folklore, WarHawks, Ratchet and Klank, Uncharted(good sales, but was supposed be huge system seller blah blah blah), Gt Prologue(referring to Japan on this one), Dynasty Warriors, Hot Shots Golf, UT3, Sonic the Hedgehog, Yakuza, etc. At one time or another this game were claimed to AAA systems seller by a PS3 fanboy.

That aside, MGS4 should be a great game, but it is a very hardcore game, and the PS3 has already captured the hardcore audience.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, especially on a few of those games that bombed....but...

Those games are selling systems slowly but surely. 

Regardless, those games have done their jobs. The recent sales prove it.

The ps3 is now selling between 175,000-200,000 consoles every week.

Last year at this time, it was selling 60,000 consoles a week.

So, I'd say those titles have done just fine in increasing sales. Maybe not individually on the week of each games release (which is expected, most don't buy a console for only one game), but cumulatively as a whole, they have been enough to entice people to start buying a ps3 over the 360.

Anyone that denies that the ps3 has done a 180, is insane. Things should only continue to improve.
