I will have to fully agree with Superchunk on this one. A lot of people on this chat forum do not understand why the PS3 is not selling like crazy. Its game don't appeal to anyone but to the hardcore--a niche group that's a dying breed (heavy-violence and lack of positive intelligence that doesn't solve anything; aka GTA). Of course the casuals, over time, will become a better and new form of this emo-hardcore group we have now that is more centric and bent on having fun rather than bleeding your eyes into an orgasm while your brain goes dead.

Besides, does the new gaming community need the same experience rather than giving something new? I'd say that Nintendo got it right and people love 'change.'

Besides, Superchunk, the ONLY console that benefited on the release of GTAIV was NOT the PS3 or X360. It was the Wii with nearly 1 million units sold on the release week of GTAIV, and that games not available on the Wii. I think that when MGS4 is released, the Wii will go past 500k units sold. I bet Nintendo is holding back on their Wii consoles when the competition is releasing a heavy-hitter game title.

 


 I thought that we could only find people like you in the PS3 owners group o_o.....

and yet, you couldn't even come close to show us where those "sounds" are coming from???


 Why do I need to? Do take personal offence to the point I am making about MGS4? Wether or not anyone actually made that claim is completely mute.

If you need actual quotes just read various PS3 fans post histories.

Haven't Sony fans been claiming anything with legit hype for the past 3 yrs were going to be PS3's savior. I mean it's just a phase that'll pass as soon as it isn't and they'll move onto the next game.

Why do you need to? Because your own post was based on the "assumption" of "people claiming MGS4 was saviour", you spend all your time arguing against an assumption that isn't even true?

That's like me stating that "Why do people calling Steve Job GOD" with an essay following. Is it pointless? Absolutely

 

Since you are the one stating there are actually 'statements' from people, Please list them, or else stop making assumptions.

Furthermore, the point of the thread was not to single out people, but to single out the ridicules idea that MGS4 will make a drastic, permanent change in PS3 sales.

@zucas

yes we have but lately PS3 has shown it doesn't need a saviour...

so suddenly a huge sales boost isn't expected

 Euhm okay :). But the sales of the PS3 has already changed the last year dramatically.  Search how much the PS3 sold like a year ago and how much it sells now;.
