I buy it now but the decision to buy it was not only MGS4, it's also LBP (system seller for me), Resistance 2 (system seller for me), FFXIII (never played an FF game before, but hyped on this one as hell, system seller for me)..... Everyone see where i'm going.... MGS is the tipping point for me but my decision to get one took into consideration the other games coming out in the future as well.... MGS4 will be the tipping point of many PS2 owners and MGS fans (and other who are not) and so it will sell extra consoles... |
Either you are going to buy 4 PS3's, or none of these is a system seller for you. It is libraries that sell games (as you illustrated here) with one game being the tipping point as others have pointed out.
I think MGS4 will see a HW boost similar to GTA4, and software will also follow a similar track. Great sales, but not quite the second coming of Christ as some PS3 fans seem to expect.
