Simple, which game will dominate the next gen sales?

Us lemmings have to face the facts. Either Sony paid Kojima a load of money or he's just too stubborn to want to sell more games. Xbox360 will NOT be getting MGS4.

In my opinion it is the BIGGEST mistake for Kojima not to bring MGS4 to the Xbox360. Sales would be atleast triple to what it would be if it stayed exclusively on PS3. 10 mill install base vs 2.5 mill. And don't BS about how the XBox360 can't handle it because as all multi plat games shows, they mostly look better on the Xbox360.

This poll is braindead. First of all, I know I wouldn't buy MGS4 if it went mutliplat.

And this is BS: "And don't BS about how the XBox360 can't handle it because as all multi plat games shows, they mostly look better on the Xbox360."

Kojima's already lent his word on that. And if you paid any kind of attention to the project. You'd know it's impossible to port. Kojima did not make it a PS3 exclusive because he hates Xbox 360 or is getting paid off. He will make original IPs for both the Xbox 360 and the Wii. He has his reasons, and I will not put them here because I'm honestly tired of repeating them. The only point is: you cannot be angry at Kojima or Sony or MGS4 or the Xbox 360 for this. You cannot be angry period. So suck it up big boy.

Additionally the 360 has a larger installed base, a rabid Halo fanbase, and Halo is a giant blockbuster. It's going to sell better. Oh well.

Making multiplatform games doesn't make you a better developer, nor do you get a medal for selling the most games. You just get a pat on the back from Bill Gates.

It gets you more money and market penetration...which is truly what devs want...

[QUOTE="Bansheesdie"]Did HL 2 outsell Halo 2 and MGS 3 or something? foxhound_fox


Half Life 2 drew a lot of attention away from MGS3 just as Halo 2 did. I was not claiming anything about sales. Remember, Half Life 2 was a huge hit as well.

It might have drawn attention away from Halo 2 as well......

Halo 3 for sure.

I expect about 7-10 million sales for that game. For MGSIV I'm expecting around 5 million.

halo 3. way more 360s out there than there are ps3s.

and its a real shame kojima is so stubborn. espcecially since he knows there are plenty of mgs fans in the 360 fanbase but still denies them. but oh well... we'll see if it really does stay exclusive in the future. i'm still hoping for it to go multiplat but we'll see...

Halo 2 and MGS3 released at the same time. Check out what happened there.DaysAirlines

Halo should outsell MGS

But MGS has loads of competition on PS than Halo does on XB

And MGS3 also had a ton more consumers to sell to...that far out weighs the competition on the PS2 being detrimental to its sales...especially considering its a pretty unique game...it has competition from what, Splinter Cell?

I love both series, but I gotta say Halo 3. At my school, it's almost universally an outcast move to head for a PS3. PS and 2 is fine, but not 3. gnutux
