| shams said: Guys, lets not forget just HOW top-heavy this game will be. Its THE game everyone will line up for, to score on day#1. 300k is a fantastic result for day#1 sales (esp. excluding bundle) - but don't be shocked if it does 400k-450k for week#1. That said - 600k *is* possible. The last game to do something like that... Monster Hunter... ... Metal Gear Sold 2 launched with about 300k (day#1) in Japan, and did 470k for week#1. Sales week#2 dropped to about 100k, and it ended up selling about 900k lifetime: http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=3774 ... I (for one), would LOVE to see MGS4 do exceptionally well in Japan - and reinvigorate the PS3. The charts have become a little "stale" recently... |
well. this game is special. its remarkable and its also going to be THE game people pick up all summer with their PS3....i think its legs will surprise you. It can be played more as a shooter....and with major publications raving about it and great first day sale si japan word of mouth will spread. This game could be a phenomenon.
Stealth games arent for everybody but Kojima opening it up and embracing some heavy action sequences may be the most brilliant thing hes dont in the series, imo. Such a masterpiece.
