[QUOTE="Bromz"]I'd agree with above posters about sales, mgs3 sol like 4 million....a figure Halo 2 doubled with 8 million (and I'm guessing ps2 had much bigger install base). Still, mgs4 will be a great game, but its not going to make anyone forget Mass Effect, Gears and Halo 3.Trading_Zoner
MGS2 sold 5 and a half million with an install base of around 20 Million.
That's a system seller.
But the sequal only sold 3.7mill the sales started dwindling and you think they will pick up enough to sell the ps3?
[QUOTE="gromit007"]The MGS series has never been a system seller. They are good, but not system sllers.Trading_Zoner
:lol: What? Why is that?
3.3% intall base compared to halo 2 33.3% install base it might help sales but it can not really be called a system seller.
The xbox sold around 24mill units there are 5 mill copies of halo that is 20.8% install base. Then halo 2 sold 8 mill copies that equates to a third of xbox's not counting anybody who picked the game up for the 360.
The ps2 sold a gazillion copies but we will round it to around 120mill units mgs3 sold around 4mill copies(half the units halo 2 sold)so mgs3 has an install base of 3.3%.
Now whileMGS4 game may persuade me to pony up for a ps3 don't think it can be said for everybody.
With Madden 08 the superioty of 60fps has been brought to the lime light again. Something did however occur to me the human eye can only see something like 24fps(i think; don't bite my head off if i am wrong). I am not denying 60fps looks better then 30fps but how would the human eye be able to tell the diffrence?
