Nah, not really.

That's what I think. Especially with how low 360 and PS3 are this week in America, if the PS3 can just sell 200 - 250k more consoles than XBOX in June (4 week month), it will double 360 sales. I don't think that's too hard of a stretch, but I'm no Pachter.

MGS4 is a success no matter what happens, since it's an awesome game. But sales-wise, I'd call it a disappointment if it didn't outsell 360 by 1.5:1

What I don't get is the contradiction.  Some people are saying the PS3's slight Japan bump was due to MGS4 coming, but label its poor NA sales as a bi-product of people waiting for MGS4.

 

 


I think the slight Japan bump was just that, a 2k bump from last week, nothing that special.

EDIT:  

The problem is, fanboys of all consoles tend to over-analyze every piece of data, good, bad or indifferent, and something like a 2k boost has to be effected by something, when it's not really all that serious.  A bump that small in magnitude is minute.  now if it jumped to 20k that'd be a difference, but that 2k bump is nothing.  People tend to overthink things that are simply anomalies in data.
