Forums - Sony - Will MGS4 numbers be > or < than GTA4 for PS3?

Well, I think MGS4 can outsell PS3 GTA4 LAUNCH in NA 'cause it'll be bundled, exclusive and I must add : there will be over 700K more PS3s sold in NA by the time MGS4 debuts.

 I've also read that those bundles are extremely limited in number, and I doubt Konami will be willing to keep their biggest game of the year (if it outsells PES) bundled for too long.



GTA: SA was a PS2 exclusive upon its release. It sold nearly 17 Million copies on that platform.

Metal Gear Solid 3 was a PS2 exclusive upon its release (and forever, for that matter). It sold less than 4 million on that platform.  

 

Let me repeat that again: 17 million. 4 million.

The end.

^Limited? Link? I doubt Sony is re-introducing 80GB PS3's just to take them off the shelves after a few weeks or introduce a new bundle. Anyways, it will be enough for the FIRST WEEK (aka what I'm talking about here) to outsell PS3 GTA4 first week.



The MGS3 comparison is unfair. You must know the PS2 by the time MGS3 was out had tons of games competing with each other. MGS4 NOW stands as the ONE AND ONLY TRUE EXCLUSIVE PS3 KILLER APP. PLUS, it's bundled, PLUS it looks freaking 100 times more awesome than MGS3 compared to anything else on the PS2.

 I can't substantiate it at the moment. I believe I read it in EGM, and I'll look for it. But it still doesn't change my belief that there won't be that many of these bundles. MGS4 is not owned by Sony, and Konami is going to want their game to SELL, so yes, I do think that this MGS4 PS3 bundle will be off the shelf in a matter of weeks once it sells out. What Sony does with the 80GB after, I have no idea.
