Will MGS4 pass Halo 3's Day One Sales?

[QUOTE="user_nat"]Halo Wars will probably sell more then MGS4..Pietrooper

Doubt it. I gaurantee MGS4 will sell somewhere in the region of 4->5 million.

Even the name Halo won't get that much when Halo 3 hasn't sold 8 million yet. Or has it? Some sources say 7.8ish million :|

All the Halo games have sold millions and so have all the Age of Empires games (devs of Halo Wars).. seems like it has a shot of selling well. Depends how its marketed I guess, and how well MGS4 sells.

[QUOTE="PS2_ROCKS"]I love MGS 4 just as much as the next guy, but Halo 3 is a tank. Games don't just go around beating its day one sales.armymen4

GTA does.

GTA is multiplat and also lightyears more fun and clever then MGS ever was.

Do you make it your life goal to bash MGS?

At least MGS had a clarible story and fun and clever gameplay unlike a certain GeoW :|

no neither do i make it my goal to defend Gears so give up on that angle lol :) WTF does "clarible" mean? I think Terrible is the word you were looking for. Nothing in the story of Gears made me stand up and say WTF this story is awful. Sorry but Id prefer a good story that skimped on details then a horrible one that gave you every intimate awful detail.

Snake is old and decrepit and so is the series.

No offence, but you do bash this game alot, so I have to agree with pietrooper. Many Many people dissagree with you. it also seems that you dont know anything about the series, so when you talk about snake , and the series both being old, it shows how little you know about it. But, im not gonna attack you on it, because everyone has opinions. Hell, I could say "Halo is the worst game on the face of the earth" and not only would I be lying, but the majority of the gaming world dissagrees with you.

anyways, Tell me what Gears of war innovated....tell me what gears of war did to the FPS genre, besides being the first game to make you **** your pants because of its visuals (which have already been outdone)? The visual capabilites this generation are old news now. Gears 2 is most likely gonna be in the 8s, and anything beyond that is wishful thinking. They arent innovating anything for their next game either, besides 1 more player online, and small physics.

Now, what is MGS4 innovating? Everything. The entire series has innovated. metal gear created the entire stealth genre, and every single game has been a HUGE leap from the next. The game lets you interact alot more in the story, and the environment. What does GEARS 2 do? It lets you runn around, shoot people, do everything you did in the first with new weapons, and the exact same game. It also has an incredibly weak story. Oh, and I forgot, guess who INVENTED your precious cover system for GEARS? None other than Hideo Kojima.

Just a point. You went there. You called GeoW a FPS.

Is this supposed to be a joke thread? Of course MGS will not outsell Halo 3's day one sales. it will not even be close.

MGS2 sold like 7.6 million. The game outsold halo:CE, by 2 million, and was its contester for the same year. MGS4 and Halo 3 are in the same position that halo:CE and MGS2 were in.

And how many lems are actually going to buy/play halo wars? none of them are even interested in the game, they only bring it up for bragging rights on SW, just to make their list of games look bigger. Not bashing the RTS genre, but come on, I guarrantee 98% of the lems on SW who bring this game up in a lineup arguement have no appreciation for RTS games whatsoever, and will most likely never play it. Same with banjo. every lem hypes banjo, when they know that 1. noone who owns a 360 even truely cares for this game, seriously how many of you areg onna go out and play buy banjo? I think its gonna flop on the 360. it would be much more appreciated on the wii.

And to pietrooper, sorry I meant TPS. shooters in general.

hey armymen..you know what you just did here? bashed a game without playing it..something you clearly said you dont do :roll: and did you just say kojima invented the " cover system" ?

you've once again lost all creditability

Ive played it before. and everything that I dont know about it, I have the natural instinct to research, and know things that I am talking about. in the instance I said I didnt do that, people were bashing resistance, who have never played it before.

and yes, MGS was the first game to use the cover system that lems hold so high in GEARS. Pressing up against a wall, and firing. all of that stuff. who do you think used it first?

and how have I lost all credibility? I didnt act like a fanboy, and pass my opinions off as facts. I simpily gave my opinion, and supported it with facts. Very good and detailed facts. and what did you do? attacked me, and my credibility. That is always easier, than simpily taking in the FACTS I give you and countering them in a supported arguement.

ha ha ha.... no.... Halo is a jugernaut. MGS is a pretty good franchise. I don't care for either one of them...

To be fair, the PS2's install base was MUCH more than the Xbox, like I said in an earlier post, its possible, but HIGHLY unlikey, the Halo franchise is just too big(fanbase that is) for a game like MGS to outsell.

The ps2s fanbase was 12,417,695 when MGS2 released. The current fanbase of the ps3 is 11,915,558, and at the current weekly rate, should hit 12 million right around the time MGS4 comes out (which will drastically change on that very day lol).

Hahaha!!!! Oh man thats funny.

Oh wait.... were being serious here.... oh man im sorry but thats not going to happen.
