On disc space:

Many PS3 games re-use the same data on each level due to slow read times from the blu ray drive. Resistence is a good example, that game could have fit on a DL-DVD. I don't know if MGS 4 does this or not, but even with a 4.6GB install there's a good chance.

On sales:

Following GTA IV is going to be tough, especially if reviewers mark it anything less than GOTY.
Predicting 2 million lifetime.

 Another prediction of 2 million lifetime.

lol

WOW when it does 2 Million in sales within 3 weeks I wanna see peoples faces!

MGS is more popular in Europe and PS3 is doing best there. So we just have wait and see, just three weeks left.

Do you guys really think that MGS4 will sell worse than DMC4 in Japan, that it won't even reach 150K first week in Japan???? There are also 100k bundles (and in these bundles is also a MGS4 copy, ya know..)

I expect about 900K in europe first week, 800K in America and 350K in Japan first week. And my estimates won't be far away of it, believe me :)

Wow, another thread derailed by this dumb "MGS4 ---> 360" topic.

Sheesh. People only talk about MGS4 two times, when it's coming to the 360, or when lambasting it for having "ninety-minute cutscenes", or bashing it in any other way.

Never any praise for what will be an awesome game, and a worthwhile purchase for any gamer in general.

It's a shame that people refuse to accept how epic this game will be.

Actually if you think about it, 80% of the people who are bashing MGS4 are Wii or 360 owners who don't have a PS3

Just the same with those cutscenes thread from yesterday

i fail to see where there is a single attack on the game. Yes, some people think it will do better than others, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Some think it would have been a good business decision to put it on the 360, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the game.

 Even the MGS3 sold 4 million + 1 million subsistense bringing total number up to 5 million. So MGS4 may not break the records like GTA but i am sure it will sell well.
