MGS4 will OWN haters and doubters in 4 days. =)

Selling less then 500k HW and 2 mln. SW first week = dissapointment in gamers. =)
MGS4 - will be a TOTAL OWNAGE. FIRST cinematic NEXTGEN experience, ONLY on PS3.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

@ dmeister, I think there is a 32.5% chance actually

Rofl.

I rounded down.

But I seriously think that it may be lower, because it will have a seriously stunted week in the Americas.  (most games come out on Tuesday, this comes out on Thursday.


We've heard that one before... Lair, Heavenly Sword, Haze...


Those were unproven IP's, I don't get your point.


U misunderstood.

Same argument was used about Lair, HS and Haze, that since they were released on thursday instead of tuesday, the 1st week sales would be comparatively weak, and they would have strong 2nd week sales.

It didn't turn out so, becuse they all dived 2nd week.

Conclusion, the argument about crippled or stunted week never works.

(if it's just about 2 middle-of-the-week days)

Lol, there it is!

Disappointment confirmed.

Isn't the low 1st week so good 2nd week sales is mostly used in Europe where games are released on Fridays

He's always been like that Darth, lucky for him though he doesn't appear to care at all about the backlash after things don't go his way.
