Why Microsoft Needs a Kick in the Pants (and Why I hope MGS4 does it)

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.

 

 

First off, welcome back Starcraft.

Second, I kind of do believe this thinking because Sony officially annouced the 80 gig bundle in April.  Anyone who wanted both, held up at that point and said I will wait for the bundle and then get GTA4.  At least that is what i would have done if I didn't have the 60 gig already.
