FFXIII will be a massive hit for S-E like the main FF games have always been

Excuse the vulgarity of the image, but the underlining message is what I was after.

@MontanaHatchet .. good job!

@jenny dude you should chill and try to save up money to buy a Ps3 to play MGS4 on.

I think the OP is very wrong to imply that Konami failed. It is more likely that Sony failed. Konami's game sales on the PS3 may or may not have been enough to make back the budget of MGS4. Despite how expensive the game is, I'm willing to bet they probably have JUST cleared a profit on it based on sales.

But we are all forgetting that Sony definitely have an exclusivity deal on with Konami. Whatever this deal was (either a huge cash payment or royalty-free software sales) it would easily have put Konami in the black on MGS4. For example, its more than likely Konami got more for each bundled version of MGS4 than they did for loose versions, otherwise where is the incentive?

But looking at it from Sony's point of view you had an excellent hardware spike that lasted one, maybe two weeks. They've spent an enormous amount of money marketing MGS4 and somehow paying off Konami. If they (and its quite likely) are still losing money on each PS3 sold, the last month could actually have lost them money rather than gained it. Of course the argument would be the hardware boost will boost future profits, but then you have to ask if the hardware boost was enough to be worth it?

WOW JENNY . I cant even believe that you believe what you put in this thread...... a vgchartz admin should ban your account from this site... and your isp provider should ban you from there serveices and the government shuold bad u from using the internet period...

MGs4 was not a blunder and if you know anythign about the business side of the gaming industry you ould know that they dont "give" away free games when there bundeld they give payed for it.. from sales of each bundle(damn your stoopid jenny)

P.S Someone should ban you from life.

but it sold 3 millions in less than a month.
1.3 millions on day one,.

even people believed in won't sell more than 600k in its first week, it managed to do more than that.
