170$Million on its first day! Also i got over million pre-orders! I bet your so called MGS 4 will not be as Halo! You sony fanboys are waiters! waiting for your Sony line-up which is your excuse everytime a topic bashs Sony.

While da 360 players play their best games until another hype of 360 comes out. also XBL i the best network for gaming although it is priced but better than getting crap online game like PS3 :twisted:

Sony fanboys I dare you!

True halo is one game but you forget there was Bioshock a AAA game last month, Madden which sold more on the 360 then every other console combined, PGR4 this month which is scoring very good from reviews so far, Mass Effect in Nov, and many more. Face it 360 is just killing PS3 when it comes to games and after all games are the most important thing to a game console.

He is right though. MGS does not score as well as Halo and also does not sell as well as Halo.

So the logic is that anything that sells less than Halo and does not score as well as the Halo sucks. Seems like a reasonable philosophy that we can all live by.

Last one scored 8.7 so no where as good as Halo 3

Also last one sold less then 4 million out of 120 mill PS2.

Halo prolly sold at least 1/2 that in first 24 hours. So yes I think MGS is WAY overrated. It is not as proven of a title as Halo not even close.

and don't forget the 69.99 dollar edition either...

The reason it broke records is because of the price increase between Xbox and Xbox 360 games... 10 more dollars a perosn, and with the chance of 20 to 70 more... ya

Way to go, no report the unit sales and not the money...

Well, that is definitely true. The same could be said for MGS4, FFXIII & GT5. I don't see any of these games saving the PS3 or winning the console war for them. It's all about the price and the quantity of quality titles that will eventually push one of the consoles far ahead of the others. That's the main reason the PS1 & PS2 won their generations. Both systems had loads of quality titles from many, many different developers and both systems were at the right price for consumers. Am I wrong?

i find many problems with ur post. one is that the last mgs was not snake eater, if ur talking about the last mgs on the ps2 its substinence got a 9.0

mgs portable ops got a 9.0 released for the psp in 2006.

mgs2 sons of liberty scored a 9.6 for the ps2.

and then you say that halo sold 1/2 that in 24 hours...

so i guess you could say that because harry potter #7 outsold homer's odessy or other clasic novels, these other books are overrated and "not proven"?

It may be a good game. Put please I am sick of planet bovine trying to put it on the same lvl as Halo. It just is not. Halo just destroys MGS in sales, scores and attach rate.

Im sorry MgS isnt as over hyped as halo, or well advertised to the point where it is outrageous ( Mountain dew game full anyone)
anyway which one you think is better comes down to opinion, if you like tactical stealth game with a unique story, or you prefer a game where you shoot everyone in 1 room and move onto the next room and shoot everything else. Oh and a adverage story applys too (saving the world)

Says the fanboy...if halo scored 8.7 you'd be "SO?" best FPS EVARRRRR WAH WHA WHA....plz sit down. 8.7 isn't even a suck score. IGN AU gave Halo 3 a 8.9.

BTW, MGS3 subsistance scored a 9.0. MGS is a proven and huge game for many...the first game sales, including MGS2..shows that. FACT!

Halo 1 single-handedly saved the Xbox launch lineup from falling into mediocrity and arguably saved the Xbox from an untimely fate. If Microsoft didn't have it's Halo, who knows where the Xbox brand would have turned out or even IF it would be around today.

You see, most of the time, one single, solitary game means nothing. But on those rare occasions, one game can make or break a console, one game can influence a populous, one game CAN make a difference. And Halo is one of those rare games.

Actual units sales records or just price records? Three different versions of the same game for $60, $70 and $130 I'm not that surprised it broke them. When movie tickets range from $8-12, for a movie to achieve 125 million in an opening weekend is quite the feat. That means around 15,625,000 people had to see the movie on those two days (or in some cases 4 days). For Halo, only 2,125,000 people needed to buy the game, even when it achieves 170 million in sales (at an average of $80 per sale).

Impressive sales records... pffh.

Halo 1 single-handedly saved the Xbox launch lineup from falling into mediocrity and arguably saved the Xbox from an untimely fate. If Microsoft didn't have it's Halo, who knows where the Xbox brand would have turned out or even IF it would be around today.

You see, most of the time, one single, solitary game means nothing. But on those rare occasions, one game can make or break a console, one game can influence a populous, one game CAN make a difference. And Halo is one of those rare games.

no what he's saying is that the xbox lost last gen even with halo...

Thank you.

The evidence isthere ^. MGS3 scored an 8.7 on Gamespot and it only sold about 4 million copies whichclearly means it sucks.

It may be a good game. Put please I am sick of planet bovine trying to put it on the same lvl as Halo. It just is not. Halo just destroys MGS in sales, scores and attach rate.

GASP

mgs2 got A BETTER SCORE than halo 3! i guess that means that halo sucks!

Every Halo game was AAA score cept the 3 year old ports. Halo 2 the lowest with 9.4. Can you say the same about MGS. No you can not so try again buddy.

Actual units sales records or just price records? Three different versions of the same game for $60, $70 and $130 I'm not that surprised it broke them. When movie tickets range from $8-12, for a movie to achieve 125 million in an opening weekend is quite the feat. That means around 15,625,000 people had to see the movie on those two days (or in some cases 4 days). For Halo, only 2,125,000 people needed to buy the game, even when it achieves 170 million in sales (at an average of $80 per sale).

Impressive sales records... pffh.foxhound_fox

Woot Woot, someone understands.

More people bought Halo 2 on the first day... or so I thought.

Thats exactly what I said, let me propose a hypothetical breakdown. On Gamespot's podcast Jeff Gertsmann was quoted as saying there are 70K legendary editions that were made. (Most recent one) At 120 a pop, that accounts for atleast 9.1 million of the overall gross sales. Now lets use Ceteris Paribus, and assume that no one bought the standard edition. (The mathmatics are too confusing and we don't have the numbers to assume otherwise). That means that there were about 2.3 million units sold. Of course keep in mind this is only a really rough guestimate. I could be off by more than 500K.
