An optimistic view of MGS4 week for PS3 will be 300k HW and 1.75m SW for Worldwide. Am I allowed to coin the 'Crazzyman' view for anything above this based on his previous epic post of 1m HW?

Lolz...Epic Indeed!  I think that were probably looking at 400,000 worldwide and a continuim of around that number for the next 4 weeks...

Woooo im 1/8 italian! High five!

MS have dropped the price of the console too many times already, cheaper doesnt automatically mean a more attractive product. If the machine gets a price drop every 6 months or so, people start holding off making a purchase expecting it to happen.

They need to sort out the bugs in the hardware, I know plenty of people are either sick to death of returning their machine to MS or have just sold up and bought a PS3.

They also need more attractive games to people who dont want to kill foreigners all day in a brown world.

I wish as well MS its ass would be kicked very hard, but that because of a dozen of other reasons. So I hope Snake will kick off first

I really dont see there being a huge boost for the ps3 with mgs4 when it hits. My reason for this really doesnt have anything to do with how good mgs4 will be or the 80gig coming back it has everything to do with the fact that most family and non family people really dont have the money to spend 499 on a gaming system or 399 plus 60(mgs4). There have been a few walmart stores in my district where the 100$ gift card with a purches of ps3 started on june 1 and will carry on through till the 14(the blue ray player sale that everyone knows about that is run with all walmarts 8-14). We are now 6 days into the sale and we have seen a bump in sales but not huge and the reason being is people just dont have the money to put down on the ps3 or for that matter the 360 no matter how good the deal. Many people on websites like this look at sales through the eyes of people who love video games not through the eyes of people who might play now and again. I have seen it loads on here with people making huge claims when big games come out or hyped games and not really thinking things through. I think its mostly they think that there love of this great pass time eveyone has but thats not the case 9 out of 10 times they let there excitment get the better of them. Anyway just my 2cents.

Microsoft have got the kick in the pants from the wii. Thats why they're focusing on profitability, The generation is essentially a tie between the 360 and the ps3 with both consoles selling comparably (yet a lot less then the market leader) with almost all HD games going multi-platform between the two.

 It didn't work because doing it that way is messy and most girls don't like mess. Had you waited until you were french kissing her it would have been a lot less messy.
