Forums - Sales - Halo 3 launch sales vs MGS4 launch sales

WEWdeadeye on 29 November 2007

Tyrannical, you have a good point. Splinter Cell completely redefined the stealth/action genre, and took it to another level completely. I think it also helped being based somewhat off of real life, in a way. As if you were a Navy Seal on a covert government operation, in the heart of another country, left to your own devices to take down the enemy. MGS enemies and scenarios, while very interesting and compelling, are extremely far fetched when it comes the the realism (I know, it isn't supposed to be, but people have a craving for more feasible/realistic games nowadays)!!



Currently Playing:

PS4 - Killzone:SF and Assasins Creed 4

 

XBox One: BF4, CoD:Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5

 

Changing channels with my voice: priceless!!!

I haven't read all the posts, so I'm just gonna say this.

Between MGS4 and Halo 3, it's pretty obvious which will sell better. Game quality is up to individual tastes, but it would be delusional to say that MGS is a bigger series than Halo at this current point in time.

in the USA !! no MGS4 can't beat Halo 3.

MGS4 may have trouble outselling the latest 360 Tom Clancy (splinter cell conviction?) game in the US.

Why would MGS3 sell so much less then MGS2 even when the PS2 install base was much higher at the time? Competition from ubisoft's tom clancy series.

I would make the argument that MGS2's nonsensical story drove away a good number of fans.

CrazzyMan NO. Unless they spend 20 mln. on advertising. =))

Even then, I doubt it would. Oh, and why does you happy face have a double chin?
