What is it that keeps you from buying MGS4? The trailer looks incredible, it has a Gamespot and IGN 10/10, an IGN UK 9.9/10 and an IGN AU 9.5/10, a metascore of 94 and ONLINE!
It's somewhat creepy that more PS3 owners currently own an average racer (MotorStorm) than one of the best games of this gen (MGS4)
I'm not expecting everybody with a PS3 to own it, but is half the audience really that far fetched? 7 million people?
So again, for people who don't own it, what keeps you from buying MGS4?

This site is a perfect place for you to learn, because you don't seem to have the feintest idea about demographics, attach ratios, sales trends, personal tastes, and frankly you don't seem to be very aware of the kind of game Metal Gear Solid is.

okay, 7 million people is extremely far fetched, I'll admit. I know MGS is an acquired taste. Many people do not have that taste. But even 5 million would be respectable. I know it's not happening. I know nothing could have made it happen. I'm just saying that more people deserve to play this game.

More people "deserve" to play a lot of games. So what? Why even make such born yesterday questions if you're aware of how far fetched they are? This is a sales site, not gamespot. We have tools at our disposal here that make sure we never have to ask such simple to answer questions so we can delve into the tougher material. Spend a day in the Sales Discussion to get educated on this, because your entire mindset on this is so extremely naive that I'm questioning whether the whole topic is satire.

I was exaggerating a little. The number was irrelevant to my question.
I say my question's been answered pretty well. MGS will never have the appeal of Halo or GTA. Or MotorStorm.
To each his own I guess. And numbers cannot answer a question about people's opinions. I genuinely wanted to hear why people did not like the game, because even when I like a game, I want to know why other people don't.
Well, hopefully there will be a game we can all agree on the excellence of at some point (Resistance 2 anyone?)
