Week 1? I suppose, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ah, your 1.3 million was week one? I was a little disheartened with you, thinking you ment life time. Im pretty sure MGS4 will sell quite a few million copies life time.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
Nope.. But since it's an exclusive, it will get a good 1st week and surely a good PS3 HW boost.
The game will break GTA4 PS3 launch sales, I don't understand how can anyone doubt that!
It's exclusive,
It's bundled
It looks freaking awesome
It's the end of Snake
It's a war game (as much as a stealth game, and can be played as a FPS too)
It includes an awesome online multiplayer game
It's just amazing. This game is an eye-opener. The true PS3 KILLER APP. It's the reason to get a PS3.

Well I compared it directly to GTAIV, which sold 1.3 million week 1 in NA. :P

Dude, the game will be lucky to get 500k in Japan, and even that would be a pretty ridiculously high 1:4 - 5 attach rate.

There are many, many millions more outside of the demographic targeted by MGS4 that couldn't give a shit for this game. It's not GTA. It will not do GTA PS3 numbers.
^you'll be surprised. People with a 360 don't buy a PS3 to play GTA4 , now do they?
TONS of people with a 360 WILL BUY a PS3 to play MGS4. WORD!

I don't doubt the game will have some impact, I just think people WAY overstate their case. MGS4 is simply not a Smash Bros/Halo/GTA caliber title in sales. And I don't think that this ONE game is suddenly going to push the numbers people are expecting into putting ~$500 for a PS3 and the game, especially if they already own a system.
