Franchise fatique: This isn't Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, FIFA etc. There was a 7 year gap between mainline titles. That is almost an entire console generation.
Unnecessary entry to the saga: With that logic, Zelda, Halo, Uncharted etc would all be selling poorly as they have done little to progress their respective sagas. We know that is not the case.
Waiting for Christmas.... 4 months away.... Don't see it happening. This isn't a holiday people are booking.
Boycotting Konami... Aside from the hardcore Konami/MGS/Kojima fans, I don't see this being valid. Certainly not the the extent where it would affect it significantly.
Boycotting Kojima... This is possible especially considering how bad I thought MGS4 was in terms of gameplay. But like above, I don't see it killing sales significantly.
Piracy.. Is there a mod chip available for the X1 and PS4 that allows you to connect online that I don't know about?
Used games... Have been around since the dawn of time. Brand new AAA games are actually cheaper now than back in the SNES/Genesis/PS1 era. Very little has changed.
Too expensive for its value... Over 100 hours of gameplay in the single player alone. Yeh this is that is the next The Order 1886 right there.
Not having a go at you personally, but I don't see these factor being the reasons why. But alas, I don't know why... You could be right and I just don't see it... How many PS3's were sold by the time MGS4 came out?
