Will MGS4 numbers be > or < than GTA4 for PS3?

This is some serious delusional thinking taking place on the first page of this thread. (Second page is a lot more sensible.) Seriously - it's Grand Theft Auto! The only game on the PS3 that has a chance to outsell it is Gran Turismo. Nothing else will get even remotely close.

Some of you are going to be very, very disappointed when June rolls around.

This is correct.

Why don't people just scale back their expectations a tad? MGS4 will almost certainly be a great game and even more certainly sell very well. Can't we just be happy with that? If you expect MGS4 to rival the very best selling games on the platform, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. It doesn't conform to historical precedent in the slightest.
