 Why is it that every game release has someone who points out that it was only available for 2 days?



Good software sales for Metal Gear, nice hardware boost for PS3. Sales simply weren't anywhere close to Grand Theft Auto levels (209k hardware, 1.2m software). But anyone who thought that they would be was deluding themselves...

Im not impressed either, I was expecting 150k for OTHERS

and 700k for MGS4

Lets hope NA, and JAPAN are a much larger boost.

So a 29% boost from the release of Metal Gear Solid 4?

Did the other regions get the 80GB bundle, because if they did that is awful ...

 

All regions recieved a bundle, but only NA recieved the 80gb.

Lord in heaven, no 80 gig bundle was released in that Region and the game wasnt released in a major country. the sales are pretty good I would say. Besides, we already know the sales of the game, they are on the front page under news on this site. I would call those Day 1 sales better then awful.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

430k in 2 days is pretty good IMO, and 29% increase for PS3 hardware is pretty good



WTF???
30k? This must be joke.
Hmm.. 430k? Will wait what Konami will say about sales. =]
