MGS4 will not be affected by any of this. PS3 owners will buy this game because its a proven franchise and PS3 owners are hungry for great games. Now that GTAIV is delayed til 08, this plays into Sony's hands, because you have two proven franchises releasing within months of each other. Now setting everything aside, do you honestly think that the 360 in four years can keep 2nd place in the console war? Without support in Japan there is little chance that the 360 can maintain 2nd place this gen, in fact, they have practically gave up on Japan.

 Since the 360 doesn't brag about games as far in advanced as Sony does it's really hard to say. But since GTAIV will be on the 360 with extra content you can count that out automatically as a big seller for the PS3. MGS is a proven franchise but it really doesn't sell that much and one could argue that everyone who was going to puy a PS3 for MGS4 already has since it's only been hyped as one of the primary reasons to own one next to Blu-Ray. MGS4 will sell well, but don't expect too much out of it.

In fact GTAIV and MGS4 commng out so close together is bad for MGS4 as everyone will be buying GTAIV.

Most likely for the 360 too.

There is a huge difference between Jam's posts and posts Hus makes. If you would be an "adult" about this and not assume things without facts. I think DLC is completely overrated, and to assume that alone will lean consumers to buying the product is a little unfair. It should be more about the cost of the system and what games attract the customer. MGS4 can sell systems in that time period, because GTAIV will be around the corner. BUT this assumption can't be made until GTAIV release date is given to us, so we will have to wait.

I'm sure FF is more than decent

Either way, FFXIII may suck, but it's highly unlikely...same with MGS4


I agree.

but this FF is only one game...

how much they can count on Final fantasy fanboys???

they cannot count on them forever...

 

when nintendo started to lose core fan boys they "invented" the blue ocean...( and forgot core fan...and they will pay this)

now that this time arrived also for square...

KH is an answer...

KH has a good fanboy base...

but still KH is going multi...

sony cannot count on those fanboys...


 Haha, yeah! 
They really can't go on with the roman numerals much longer  ><

I think they havent quite yet, they are still funding big rpgs (LO and Infinite Undiscover) but if LO fails to push systems, and or INfinite, then i think they will

 

I think it can win, if it keeps dominating in NA like it is, but i still see ps3 taking over in 3 or 4 years, but... sony has to do the things right, but ill stick with my prediction that ps3 will take over, but im  not putting anything on it, it could go either way, and either way is fine with me



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

 Actually Jam's account appeared just moment's after Hus's was banned and has begun going to all the threads he had been at. Jam right now is trying to act like a different person from Hus so he's mustering all of his resources to act as mature as possible, such tactics include posting comments in threads Hus has already posted in to make it look like a different opinion and a different person (even though they're pretty much the same comments). You'll notice alot of Jam's comments are throw-away comments that are just inserted into a thread to reiterate a stance but not start an argument, he just wants to create the illusion that he's now a different person posting in that thread.

If you notice, they actually have very similar posting styles, never saying much and usually delivering a negative verdict for the undesired subject matter of the thread (check his post list in his profile). He’s trying to play it cool now and act mature so people will think he’s someone else, but making an account so soon after his last one was banned was his mistake and coming back here to defend his banned account was a second. Once he gets comfortable he’ll start becoming more and more like he was as Hus, but until then he’ll watch his footsteps with the bitter reminder of the ban still fresh in his mind. 

I don't mind really, if he can behave himself this time I'll be content to let him be. 

It's just sort of sad that he threatened to leave the site if things got any worse but his pride keeps him here

They are starting to give up on Japan and focusing more on the European market.

@Alko

Who told you KH is going multi, so far the main series has stayed on the playstation systems. The spin off's are multi.

Here is my opinion:

Dragon Quest 9 will suck

there will be a big disappointment for fans

this series is doomed to death

See what I did there?

will see...

 

the problem is:

dragon quest 9 fails???

the only one to cry is square-enix

 

ff13 or mgs4 fail???

->ps3 doomed.

 

for ps3 a ff or mgs or gt failing is like for nintendo a mario or a pokemon or a smash bros fail...disaster!!!!
