Are you saying it's crazy because he is overestimating it or underestimating it? We only have complete launch data for MGS3 which launched to a sizeable PS2 userbase (~70 million according to VGC numbers for end of '04) and that barely squeaked over a million. I know the bundles will help along with bringing back the 80 gig SKU but I still don't think it's hyped enough to beat MGS3's launch. |
Flawed argument, MGS2 sold much more than MGS3 with a smaller install base, if anything the PS2's install base at the time was probably around the same as the PS3s at this time. Not to mention MGS4 will have virtually no competition. I will make a bet with anyone that doesn't think MGS4 will sell more than 1 million units during it's first week on a world wide basis.
OnT: and yes, I think the install base and marketing for the PS3/R2 will be enough to get to 1 million WW.
