No way in hell MGS4 moves more software on the PS# than GTA IV. It's got a snowballs chance of surviving while being thrown into a volcano.
Or in plain english, NO CHANCE. I mean I know we live in the information age and there's a lot coming at you at all times, but have you people thinking this will sell more than GTA IV been paying attenion lately. GTA IV has been a monster, EVERYWHERE, EVERY SITE, it has reached ICONIC status. Metal Gear Solid while a great franchise appeals to "niche" cult type gamers. The people that get into that game are already vested in it. Sure it'll turn new people onto the game and series. But GTA IV sold like 5million + IN A WEEK. You don't just do that unless you're on another level, and I'm sorry to break it to you all the bundles, hell even super hype is not going to help MGS4 sell more than GTA IV, not now, not lifetime, not EVER. Anyone that believes this I will make a monetary bet straight up!
I mean look at the midnight release for GTA IV, MGS4 may not have that many people supporting the game for the first couple weeks. I say after the first month MGS4 has 3 million sales World Wide tops. I could be wrong give or take a million or two. But I can't see how any sane person can say that MGS4 LIFETIME numbers will beat GTA IV LIFETIME numbers. Maddness.
And MGS4 DEFINITLY WON'T HELP THE PS3 BEAT THE WII IN SALES upon it's release nope, nope and nope.
That being said it'll sell though, I'm actually going to borrow my boys PS3 when it drops and give him my 360 for a week or so.
