GTA IV

Halo 3

SSBB

Mario Galaxy

These are the only REAL system sellers. Please stop assigning that label to any other game.

Metroid Prime 3? Not a system seller.

Mass Effect? Sorry

Bioshock? Nope

Heavenly Sword? Not a chance

Metal Gear Solid 4, if released this holiday season.

Maybe Mass Effect, depending on market conditions.

I agree with the original post Metal Gear Solid 4 will not be a system seller; nor will Mass Effect

MGS has never been a system seller.

And even if it was, 2007 seems unlikely.

GTA 4 is kind of silly to put in there. It'll obviously come out on 360, PS3, and PC, which most people have access to one way or another.

Well, Gears became a system seller last year. Is it not possible for other games not thought to be system sellers? I'll wait and see how it goes.

MGS has never been a system seller.

And even if it was, 2007 seems unlikely.

It's kind of annoying when people post about MGS not being a system seller. I've already posted about this a few times, but here we go. Concise version.

Metal Gear Solid. Scored an average of 94% on Metacritic. Sold 6.6 million copies, seventh biggest selling game for the ps1.

Metal Gear Solid 2. Scored an average of 96% on Metacritic. Sold over 7 million copies. Fifth biggest selling game for the PS2. Also released in 2001, and partly responsible for selling a ton of systems and making the PS2 the dominant system last gen.

Metal Gear Solid 3. Scored an average of 91% on metacritic. Sold about 3.6 million copies. Eighth biggest selling game for the PS2.

And while I personally have no idea if MGS 4 will be released in 2007 or not, it seems definitely possible. I did, if you note, put a qualifier in my sentence.

And just so you know, I don't own a ps2 or PS3. I just want to set things straight here.

I think we should wait for E3 to make big assumptions about the future of games and their impact on the industry.

Isn't a system seller a game that sells a system? Couldn't that technically be any game anyone buys a system to play?

i disagree. both mgs 4 and heavenly sword will be system sellers. i know alot of people who bought a ps2 because of mgs2 and there are alot of people here who said they will buy a ps3 because of mgs 4 so tc failed just like most others here.

@ Wahoo: Agreed.

Also, I think Mass Effect will definitely sell some systems. Wait until Microsoft starts advertising. Expect a gears of war-like level of airtime.

System seller is a subjective term. People may buy a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4 or a 360 for Mass Effect, making them system sellers to those people.

Don't forget to add MGS4 because that will be the only game where PS3 owners can actually pick up this year.
