The chances of MGS4 selling 1 million in one day = doesn't look good.

MGS3

First week launch NA - 221,000 LINK

First week launch JP - 493,000 LINK

That's 1 week sales on a system that was 80 million units strong at the time.

"But MGS3 was marketed badly" - Sony fanboys

MGS2

First week launch 469,000 LINK

On a system that was 20 million strong at the time.

You go girl.

Smackity factity the cows just got whackedity!

I still have no idea why the Konami dude would announce something so bizarre to the press.

Doesn't really change the fact that this generation are gullible people with powerful graphics. Casuals would see it and freak out and buy MGS4 right off the bat.

Does it bother you? Do you own a PS3?

I think it will.

Thats not a response :|

Anyway, no, no it wont sell one million considering the past thrends of the series.

Liquid-GEAR

It seems to bother you, though.

I love MGS and support the PS3 (although I don't have one yet)...and I think the idea of MGS4 selling a million in one day is totally stupid and unrealistic. Seriously...why can't it sell 1 million in TWO days or something?

If you ask me, Konami is paving the way to find a reason to port this game to the 360. There is no way it will sell a million in ONE DAY. That is doing what no MGS game has ever done...and on a console with a small fraction of the PS2 which other MGS games were on. When the game doesn't reach this impossible goal, Konami will announce they are starting a port.

Mark my words people. This is called a pre-emptive excuse.

Indeed, Kojima has no control of Konami's action. Even against his will, Konami will still port the game. It's quite sad really that Konami just won't tell them and us the truth instead of setting something up. Kojima better throw a hail mary here.

Kinda funny that they still bought an Xbox 360 Elite and Halo 3 edition.

"We understand publishers are needing to recoup their investment. From our perspective, as long as the games aren't going exclusive to other platforms, PS3 gamers are not actually losing anything." - Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing for Sony.

That should be a hint and a half to any Sony fanboy still hoping this game stays exclusive. ;)

I'm going to buy it, I know that much.

I think it will sell 1 million... now that konami has said this.. gamers (Like me) will want to help konami out into making this possible.. plus this is the most hyped ps3 game coming out.. and by the time mgs4 comes out.. there will probably be around 9-11 million ps3s sold... Arsenal325

You know, based on the last two posts of yours I've seen, you seem kinda stupid. I think I'll follow you around for awhile.

Fixed it for ya. And contrary to what you may want to believe, there aren't that many of you. Otherwise game like Heavenly Sword and Uncharted would be selling better than what they are now.

You think casuals don't buy 360s? I guess all those 360 sales were "hardcore" gamers according to your guess. Gee, That would drop it from 11 million to what? 3 million? I guess the PS3 is the 2nd highest selling console for this gen.

Then explain why the PS3 has been out for over a year and only has 2 million selling titles.

Casuals as in people who play games but don't know about the latest releases or go to sites like this. Casual-casuals like grandma and company don't spend $400 on a console.

Apparently, Mr. Yellow-Rose,

The casual actually make up a large portion of the gaming industry, without them, the gaming industry would not have been as large as it is today. The revenue is painstakingly high in which we have to thank the casuals for.

It's going to sell more than 1 million in day one just because is the only good exclusive game the ps3 will havetupapi006

MGS4 isn't really for the casuals.

I wouldn't rule it out.

I still say the odds are against it.

If Super Mario Galaxy couldn't do such a feat, what makes anyone think MGS4 can?

MGS4 will have a WORLDWIDE release, yes that means it will be released in other places besides the US so I really don't see 1 million being a problem. I think sony know how important this title is to the PS3 and they will put a huge advertising campaign behind it. It will no doubt have a bundle package just as MGS2 did (whic was a huge seller) as well which will help sales of both.austin_is_god

I've posted sales figures of MGS3 that prove otherwise.

Why the man who once said PS3 will be discontinued in '07, Ps3 is a failure, PS3 has no games will all of sudden get a PS3 is beyond me lolLiquid-GEAR

Any proof that I said those things? Course not, because I never did.

And you'll find out why tomorrow.
