what do you mean by "flop", because that term is used for any game that "doesn't quite live up to expectations" (like LOZ, just because gamespot gave it an 8.7 and not 9.0 , people stupidly said it was a flop)

Even if those games flop by the reviews from the game critics. They'll still rock. FACT.

That being said. Sony and Microsoft aren't going anywhere.

They'll be fine if some turdball "videogame journalist" gives those titles less-than-premium review scores.

Don't get so serious. I was just messing around. Obviously it's an opinion. I'm just saying that regardless of what scores they receive from Gamespot. They'll still be great games. Is that a fair statement?

According to SW rules, it was a flop.

Agreed, "Fact" when used on gamespot means: my completely unsubstanciated opinion; Or an out-and-out lie. That said, If both "flop,"  neither system will die, they'll only sell less units that month.

MGS4 does not have to carry the PS3 nearly as much as Halo3 has to carry the 360. But the 360 does indeed have new IP's that might just put Halo3 into the same scenario that MGS4 is in.

You go on and think that.....

MGS4 won't flop though, so this is irrelevant.

it's not about video games, it is the principle; facts or not opinions, and opinions are not facts (it is for your own benefit and learn the difference so that you don't ignore peoples' opinions because you think yours is the only right one)

your right, this is just a game forum that we will all eventually leave, but still the users here are real people with real opinions, and the way you said that your opinion was fact says to me that you don't care about others opinions, i am sorry if i misunderstand (also, i am relaxed, so you don't have to worry about that)

If so (which either will never fail)

PS3 has- Devil May Cry 4(the first one is my favorite game of all time), Warhawk(super excited for), Lair, God of War 3, and Killzone 2 (which has a chance at flopping).(Im not really to excited for Heavenly Sword though.)

Xbox 360 has-Mass Effect, Gears of War, Ninja Gaiden 2(cant wait for this).(Bioshock dosnt count, because you can play it on PC)

it would be worse if ff13  flop
if halo 3 flop many people just bought a xbox 360 just for that game i think that it would be worse if halo 3 flop

Trust me, MGS4 and Halo 3 will not flop. MGS4 maybe Kojima's last MGS game, and there will probably be a bunch of Halo games after the third one, but I'm pretty sure Bungie has learned from the past mistakes with Halo 2.
