Why do people keep claiming MGS4 is PS3's saviour?

Well if you can't see the spike before GTA Iv and now a constant of 90K + instead of 70K then I don't know which graph you are seeing

GT 5 prologue cause a HUGE spike & has a solid pro-longed effect....

 

 And now it is about 80k, thus, going down. All reality is no single game has had lasting affect.

Plus, why are some of you focusing on one little territory?

Focus on the big picture people. WW trend for PS3 has been going down for the 1st half of the year. 

 80k? That now is really what I call rounding down numbers. Since when does 96K qualify as 80k and not 95k?

I guess people don't realize that when 1 game comes out no console will increase 100k per week. Although increasing 20K per week as it did after the release of GTA5:p and GTA IV is considered a rise in sales.

If MGS4 also does this we are looking at 100-110K per week insead of 90k. Now how anyone says that isn't a long lasting effect needs to have their eyes looked at, and quick.

GT5:p is showing a long lasting effect in EU and GTAIV is doing well too (remember it was multiplatform?), with an increased library of quality games it will only increase.

Even if it only raises the PS3 sales 10K+ per territory it is still considered a long lasting effect, no matter how anyone here tries to spin it.
