MGS4 will be the first major Japanese title to hit this generation (DMC4 is not one). Those japanese developers are way behind. I hope they catch up, it's been a long wait already. Namco, Capcom, Square-Enix. The japanese market needs Tekken 6 and jRPGs fast.

The Japanese market has plenty of awesome JRPG's? Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata........

GTA on 360 will steal nothing.

Heres the option for former PS2 owners that owned it for GTA.

Buy GTA on defective hardware with pay online and NO hd format playing capability and next to no other games worth a damn.

or Buy GTA on the most powerful very reliable Free online console that has GT5p and MGS4 coming out with in before/after 2 months of GTA ohh and has the next gen Format that won BR.

But like always it will take the passage of time and reality slapping you in your face to accept the truth, this is vg so no surprises about that.

I will say it now, GTA will sale better on PS3, at the end it will out sale the 360 version 2-1 mostly thanks to people picking GTA up when they buy the PS3 for games like FF MGS GT.


So you think PS2 owners that never has a GTA online option will be desperate to use Sony's substandard but free service?  The 360 has a very viable HD format in dowloads.  It also has a vastly superior games library to the PS3 in every area except platformers.

So to quote you on this, your saying that not a single PS2 owner will purchase an Xbox 360 to play GTAIV?

LOL...this comment made my week.

Wanna compare where GTA sells the most...North America. Now look where it sells the least... Japan.

I need you to tell me a multiplatform game which sold more on PS3 than on 360 in North America. Take your time...

Infact, tell me a multiplatform game that sold more on PS3 than on 360, counting Europe and NA... since Japan really doesn't buy much GTA.

middle 2009 and if microsoft will bring theo 720 soon they will have a problem because first of all now they xbox is beginning to bring Profit all theo years they Lost money now they should bring a New More powerfull console with a mich higher price then ps 3 and no games ? And all the people which buyed it would be mad no one would buy After year 3 a xbox because of the short lifetime. A PS is stable for 10 years and the wii showed us that the consoles dont Need much power so its Not necessary to build a New one and of would be really Bad for Microsofts money all theo money for the development and marketing for nothing for only 1 year some money ? If the xbox is doing bad they wont do a New one a Minimum succes is important for a New engagment of MS in the console market I guess 40-50 Mlns. Sorry for the typos i am weiting with phone

The Nintendo Wii "Games console" is flogging both PS3 "Blu-Ray player" and XBox 360 "DVD player" on a weekly basis. Wii wins software and hardware 90% of the time and by a huge margin.

MS have no plans to bring out a new console in 2009. I think 2011 would be a better prediction.

dude. u have common sense? ps2 ownwers will not upgrade to a 360 just because of a multi platform game like gtaiv. think of it. gta iv is also on ps3. ps3 is a ps and sony console. obviously ps2 ownwers will upgrade to another ps console which they have games and controllers etc that they are more familier with. the only thing the 360 gta iv has is dlc, which is coming out way way after the launch of gta iv. im also predicting the dlc will take out a big chunk of your ms points. most people play gta iv to finish the game once and go around a shoot up 5-0.

 

mgs4 will sell over 3 million. a ww release date of 1.5 million will start it off and by the end of the year 4.5 million.


I think he has a lot of common sense. You realize not everyone is as rich as you must be to not care about the fact that the PS3 will have a much higher price for a less than complete GTAIV???

It is well known that the vast majority of PS2 owners didn't purchase a console until it was half the PS3's price, why would they pay much more than they have too for GTAIV? Especially in the USA where the 360 is far more popular?


 less than complete game? when is the dlc coming? a few months after release isnt it?
