meh. I agree with what it says, I dont think MGS is a killer app. It will sell well, but its not gonna really help sell PS3s. Now GT4, that will sell PS3s...



1 million in one day doesn't make sense.

What if they sell one million in one week? would that be considered a failure?

Not gonna happen.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

@ ioi   
You have unbanned me after less than 2 days (while I was banned for normaly 3 days).   You know that I said I will not change and do it again.This means you agree with my PM right? You should otherwise you should not unbanned me.

 


OT:
1. Wow at the leo-j thing, this kid clearly needs to spend less time gaming and more time in a classroom. 

2. So you're saying you will continue to do whatever it is that got you banned?

I'm guessing they do a sales projection of lifetime sales based on the first day. If the number isn't met, the probability of meeting forward sales goals goes down.



i dont understand why they put a time limit on it....surely if it sells a million in the first month (very probably) it will get them the same money as if it did it in one day (highly unlikely)
