| ikilledkenny said: It's a niche title, since it's a lot of the same people buying it again and again (the friends I have that are getting it have at least played all of them, if not owned). However, this is still a 3 million niche. It really won't push hardware since a lot of the people who want it probably already have a PS3. I'm thinking that we will see a small-to-medium boost for a week or two, and then a decline back to normal levels. |
This is exactly what will happen. SONY fanboys be prepared for dissappointment. It's funny how GeOW sold more than 5mil with a smaller install base and now even diehard SONY fanboys prolly think it will only sell 4mill and largly thanks to it being bundled. I think SONY knew this would happen hence bundling it to keep it an exclusive and not make it look like a dissapointment. MGS4 is no way a system seller, its more of a niche product and the main reason there will be a HW boost is because of the new console. Atleast MS wasn't that desperate to bundle Halo 3 or GeOW cause they were confident and knew how to market their games. When's the SONY fanboys going to release if you keep believing in the hype SONY sells it will always lead to dissapointment. And also due to the speculation that it will come to the 360 sales will not even be close to what it was for Halo 3. And considering the fact that most ppl already own a PS3 want the game, its the slowest time of the year in sales and you have got the equation for major disappointment.
