I dont think you are going to accept any answer as to whether it deserves it unless we say yes. Anyway. I think it could make 1m eventually in Japan, though I think the Last Remnant could make 500k if it makes it out this holiday (360 in September, PS3 in December perhaps) or if it comes out a few months before XIII with a demo, but I think XIIII will be the next game to make a major impact

After Last remnant was delayed I knew it was for 2 reasons:

1. UE3 problems for PS3

2. FF13 demo planed to be bundled with the game which will take time to polish

also some money from M$..

WKC will do it.

 

I always thought that there was a slight delay because of UE issues, and so SE just thought they could get M$ to pay them to delay it slightly more, giving them time to perfect it, and then they can make it up to us with the demo

I am not sure about WKS, I want more news on it

 

Don't we all.....E3 will hopefully bring something

but if the Level 5 name is big in Japan it will help

 Actually your luck on this site will run out much faster if you post shit like this

 

You should know stubbsy....

I think it is a good achievement to get sales of this level although you have to remember that when a series progresses the sales base becomes more and more front loaded, on top of that there is an almost total lack of anything else to attract japanese gamers to the PS3 up to now.  I think the Japnaese numbers will be almost back to pre MGS4 next week.

More intersting will be how the US and Others MGS4 sales look going forward.  Now where are those Others numbers??

Actually i was banned for making love to your wife

 



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I think Konami and Kojima deserve it, MGS4 is an amazing game that will definitely be a contender for GOTY. With that said, I don't think that Sony deserves it for the simple fact that they pretty much alienated the Japanese market by not releasing the 80gb (mgs4 bundle or not) knowing how much they want BC. I think that if they were to have done that, HW sales would not drop as much and SW would eventually get to 1 mil.
