Forums - Sales - MGS4 sold well partly because it was the first AAA PS3 exclusive?

CrazzyMan said:
1) First exclusive AAA game on PS3 was Heavenly Sword, BUT it was short.
2) Second exclusive AAA game on PS3 was Ratchet and Clank, third - Uncharted and fourth - Valkyria Chronicles. MGS4 was only fifth.
3) MGS games have BIG MGS fanbase.

4) This thread is NOT about the Definition of AAA game(Valkyria Chronicles is AAA game, despite sales or MC/GR score).
5) MGS4 sold well, because it`s also a MASTERPIECE game.

 

You fully missed Warhawk!

As for everybody arguing over what a AAA game is: this thread makes absolutley no attempt at explaining what the OP believes "AAA" means. This is probably largley due to the fact that this thread is a response to a thread made by a PS3 fan (99% of these kind of threads on VGC are). Squilliam, if you actually believe that the average consumer is waiting on metacritic.com to see how well a game does so they can go out and buy it, you are largley mistaking my friend.

MGS4 could have gotten Lair level scores and it still would have become a million seller.
