Sure, a spin-off will be the best selling iteration in the franchise. It happens all the time.

 

Yeah when you put it like that it does sound highly unlikely. 

But maybe that's because you failed to mention that the "main game" came out on only the PS3 in 2008, whereas the "spinoff" is coming to both the 360 and the PS3 in 2010.

Wait...you actually belive I am focusing on a one day increase? You have some major bias issues with the game going multiplat. That has to be it. Now I am putting your credibility on the line. Do you think MGS4 would've outsold MGS 3 without bundles? If you say yes....you're no longer worth my time.

P.S.

It was boring while it lasted.

LOL! STAGE! YOUR RIDIC!

Okay simple maths here. For the 3 weeks NPD suggests bundles attributed to about 13% worth of sales. If the bundles were regularly replenished around the world and they kept up with the 13/87 ratio and it was the same ratio world wide then the most the bundles could account for are 500k.

Now, they weren't regularly replenished WW. I doubt Japan even got 13% of 700k worth of bundles and I doubt they would have kept up the ratio...

Now, why the fuck would we exclude the bundles anyway? Most of the bundles were sold during launch week. Which suggests that those people would have bought MGS4 regardless. Its completely moronic to think they shouldn't count.

So in short OF COURSE IT WOULD HAVE REACHED MGS3 SALES!

First three weeks. How about After the title reached over 4 mil? You still are too blind to attribute even a quarter of the games sales to bundles. You're in an alternate universe, and you obviously have never heard of Motorstorm. You're trying to prove something to me after only three weeks. I gave you those articles to show you initial impact and you're acting like those are the final sales. Sony has survived by creating bundles for their most popular games to draw in new consumers.

LOL! stage you think there were 1million bundles produced? hahahAHHAhahahahhabwahahahahahahahahaHAHAHQHhhDSHSd

Serious question.... do you actually believe the fecal matter you spout?

The only thing about this game that resembles Metal Gear Solid is the title.

The main character, story, gameplay, etc will most likely be VERY different than previous MGS games.

Heck, I loved MGS4 and have little interest in Rising simply because I dislike Raiden as a character.

rising will not be as big game as solid.

i predict 3 million for ps3 and 2million+ for 360

@ STAGE

So your telling us that all the people that bought the MGS4 bundles didn't like MGS 4? Ok I get yah.

I say 4mil on ps3 and 3.5 mil on xbox360 if the game is good but 2.5mil on ps3 and 2.3mil on xbox360 if it's average
