I think given the expense of the PS3, it is safe to assume that 99.9% of the fanbase is hardcore.

Konami have simply concluded that for a game like MGS4, the hardcore will pay what they have too, and as the system has no casuals, they don't have to worry about it until the userbase expands and then they'll drop the price.

Konami is screwing gamers, but it makes good business sense.

Hahaha. So much for everything you say being based on fact. You are nothing but a fanboy.


How about you respond to my post with a counter-argument, rather than personal attacks that do nothing to harm the argument I made, but make you look foolish?


How aboutyou respond to the thread with relevant information to begin with? Rather than your fanboy biased view? All it does is make you look foolish. In case you didn't know why I said that it because of "it is safe to assume that 99.9% of the fanbase is hardcore", assume? Beleive what you want in your little fanboy haven. I thought I didn't have to point that out because I think it's as clear as day and probably ever other member does too. Take off the fanboy shutters. Even a monkey if thought to read could notice that.


Actually you're the only one acting like a rabid fanboy here. starcraft's post was actually insightful, and it merits much more than the reply you gave him.

PS3's base in Japan is almost all hardcore gamers (excluding the Blu-Ray maniacs who I believe are around 25% based on the attach rate), and you can easily see that in the charts (assuming you know how to read them, which I wouldn't bet on considering your attitude).

 


 Yes because saying that 99.9% of PS3 owners are hardcore? And you have just Said that 25% bought it for Blu-Ray. Which is it now? You decide.

So you are arguing that casual gamers regularly pay $400+ for a system?


 How can you know that they don't? Care to back up what you said in the first post? I bought a PS3 before I a hardcore gamer. Just because the majority of casual gamers buy the Wii doesn't mean that's all that they buy. I would guess that the console with the most hardcore gamers is xbox. Look how their arcade model is selling. And that is designed for casual gamers. I wouldn't have replied if you didn't keep denying being a fanboy. You arguments aren't as logical as you think. I am biased towards PS3 but if someone has a good argument I will agree with them. You on the other hand do not.

Regular stand alone game: 8800 yen
Special edition game (with BD movie): 9800 yen
PS3 bundle (40GB + DS3 + SE game): 51800 yen

The bundle version PS3 is the "MGS4 Limited Edition" with a new color "HAGANE".
Note: Hagane is a steel used for making blades.

I am surprised that Sony has no intention of bringing PS2 BC back to PS3 in Japan.


 

Thanks for posting that... so is that going to MGS4 official cover?

Also doesn't that look alot like "The Terminator"?

Amazon Japan just opened the pre-order for MGS4 special edition. It immediately jumps up to the No.1 spot on the chart.

As expected, it receives a pretty generous discount (19%) and it seems Japanese MGS fans are OK with the price tag.



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Is this going to be the cover of NA version?

^of course he's a fanboy , look at his signature. DUH.

By the way, that signature is wrong. Xbox 360 has 5 console exclusives scored 90+ since "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter" is also on PS2, it's also available for the original Xbox, lol. Anyway, who's counting that besides him? Only a fanboy has a signature like that.

Is it?  Very well, I'll check and change my signature if you are correct.  May I ask how a signature based entirely on a fact-based website with no opinionated comments is fanboy signature?
