i think its stupid that the guy said it needs to sell 1 million on the release date... wtf is the difference between selling 1 million in 24 hours or say 72 hours

all that matters is total sale numbers but i strongly believe mgs4 will sell at least 1 million if not more

It will take every PS3 owner to go out and buy it. Considering that(I think) majority of PS3 owners are picking MGS4 up on day 1, hitting 1 million isn't impossible. But does it need to do that? No, not really.

Uh, on day 1? No. Believe it or not (and I know this entire forum won't) that statement was an archival one. They said it, then tucked it away. If a multi-plat release is announced, they can say: "remember when we said the game needed to surpass 1 million on day 1? Well, it didn't, we need to do this to recoup development costs."

And nobody will be able to say a thing bad about them.

Global launch, shouldn't be hard at all. Also, the context in which the statement was made is still in question.

Global launch and they have a solid chance of going over 1 million.

It'll sell over 1million for sure. On the first day? Maybe not. But like others have said, I wouldnt say that it NEEDS to sell 1 million on day one.

Well then, they better ship it to my gamestop early so they have it ON DAY 1 cuz otherwise I can't buy any thing ON DAY 1 since most things get to where I live ON DAY 2 if they actually start shipping ON DAY 1... basically I'll be getting it ON DAY 2. LOL :D

So no... it wouldn't matter if it was day 1 or day 3 as long as it sells that high quickly.

Its cause Konami wants to beat Halo's record. I'm rooting for them, I'll definitely pick it up whenever it comes out. Not gonna preorder 6 months before the predicted release date though.
