So your saying if MGS4 had released on the 360 as well as the PS3 it would have sold the same? if so you are as crazy as bonkers for thinking it would double sales.

It is not as crazy as you saying MGS would sell only 800k or something on 360. ;P

I think perhaps you did not read my post... I said MGS4 total would have increased by about 800k, but I said the sales split would be 55:45 in X360s favour, which means around 2.2 million on the X360 to 1.8 million on the PS3.

Still you are saying that only 800k of those who own 360 and do not own ps3 would have bought MGS. That is just... fail. It would have sold at least 2-3m more.

Thats not true. It would have likely increased the total sales by a lot as most people do not own both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 so the audience for the game would have been much larger. Its like how COD IV wouldn't have been a huge seller while being on two platforms.

Tease.

Ah I see... well perhaps I was a little low with it, but 2-3 million more is nearly doubling, I am certain it wouldn't have managed 2 extra million. (at this point in time)
