Konami has largest one day stock drop in 4 years after 2nd MGS4 delay

Why do lemmings treat MGS4 likes its the only game to ever be pushed back. When is the last time a major game hasn't been pushed back?

Who knows, mabye Kojma's team has a hard time with the cell.

Mabye he wants to make it perfect.

Mabye its delayed untill July and the 21st anneversry of Metal Gear.

But people have to jump right on the MGS4 to 360 bandwagon rumor, the one thing that I listed here that has already been confermed by Kojma to not be ture.

maybe its not to get in a sales fight with GTA4?

hold the phone....did anyone think the game was actually going to be ready before 08? there still working on the AI...an 08 release was always unfeasible. im amazed the investors didnt catch that before the announcement.

i thought it was going for a Q1 release though.

Although I happen to agree with you, obviously a lot of people thought it was feasible or it would not have caused the stock to crash.After seeing the walk-thru demo it was clear the game was going to be amazing, but we also saw that there are a number of changes from previous MGS games. I for one do not want a rushed game, it is not MGS4's fault that there are no other PS3 games out worth buying the system for.

Ah - but it IS MGS4's fault that nobody owns a PS3

Kojima: "Let's add more cutscenes. Those are more important than gameplay right now!"

Wouldn't be a bit surprised...

Not surprising that shares went down. What is surprising is that it went down by so much, I thought investors would have more faith in Konami.

What are you talking about? There earnings are going to take a significant hit, thus the stock is going to drop. What does that have to do with faith?
