Again, People obviously aren't buying Wii for a high end gaming experience, and that's fine.
Remember last gen when all 3 consoles were the same thing with different games? Yeaaah. Now that was lame. lol

This is not about the mainstream Media being bribed setting the tone or for all other reviewers. A company would have to be crazy to say anything other than MGS4 being the 2nd coming of Christ. I think this is pretty much about the Japanese not seeing MGS4 as an AAA *not* the score it has.

Stupidity at it's best...
PS3 sold around 40-50K for May (whole month). MGS4 was released mid-June and tripled it's PS3's Japan sales for July even with only 15 days on sale. If that's not a system seller then I wonder what is... Wii outsold PS3 at the beginning 12 to 1, then it was 8 to 1, 6 to 1 and for June it was 1.7 to 1.
And again if that's not a system seller then I wonder what is...

how about this, its just not a good idea to release system selling games in the summer. and take the fact that the PS3 is still selling at a high price. MGS4 did spiked sales for a while.

2.1 - I'll got with you on this one, but as well
the game also had a "BUNDLE" which would help move consoles. I think the game sold well but exactly how many units did it really move? Minus the 80 gig bundles?
Plus the game is taking a Sharp drop, so some of what you say is right about the summer..etc

3 - 600,000+ in half a month
on a system with only 2 million in japan, in the middle of the summer
thats pretty good if you ask me.
Look for mgs4 to have long legs in america/europe where the ps3 is bigger since you know it will be the game everyone buys when they buy a ps3

3.1 - System seller would imply it didn't move units.
This isn't the case though since it did move a good amount of units. Its just not a system seller with long legs. We saw a spike in the first week of sales with 80k. The week after, 20k. Last week was 18k.
It clearly sold systems. The sales spike didn't last though.

MGS4 isnt a system seller period the only reason the PS3 saw a boost in the US is cause people wanted the 80GB system, the game was just a bonus. Its a game for the hardcore only and thoses people got a PS3 at launch

4.1 - HOW?
What are you talking about not a system seller a lot of people bought the 40gigs especially with 100 dollar gift cards that were offered when you bought a ps3 just to play MGS4. You could barely find a gamestop or ebgames that had a system on the shelf after the game released" gamestop or ebgames which is same"

5 - Despite the sales, it doesnt mean anything. All I can say is..
MGS4>>>Any wii & 360 game period. Yeah sales dont show how great a game is, its those who played it and witnessed the best game to come out this next gen. Anyone want to prove me wrong. I have over 100 reviews that gave the game a perfect score, to back up not only my claim and million of other mgs fans but also legendary kojima san and his amazing staff. :)

Saying "MGS4MGS4>>>Any wii & 360 game period" is an opinion not a fact.......and to show how bias your opinion is, you would have done better by saying that "MGS4>>>Any wii, 360 game period or other ps3 game". But for the sake of argument lets say that MGS4 is the best game....now is it better to own a console with the best game and hardly no other games...with some being subpar.....or a console that has a lot of games that are average and better?

Well I guess it makes it a good thing that nobody said that Clintos said that it was a fact. The point is that it does not move things along when comments are so biased..I am not on Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo's payroll......so I have no need to blindly support them.

And how many reviews did mario galaxy get? MGS4 so far has more then 200+ reviews and 180+ of those reviews agree it is AAA-AAAA. So come to me when mario galaxy is being reviewed by more then 200+ reviewers around the world. That just shows how much an impact mgs4 is even if it doesnt sell as well as mario games. Heck even most of the reviews say it is the best next gen game out right now and is one of the greatest games of all time. Heres a list for u of reviews I have been keeping track of mgs4.

I Didn't say Mario Galaxy > MGS4.
I said MGS4 is the not the highest rated game of all time or anything. It ranks #61 out of All games total, and #4 on Playstation 3 in terms of Review scores, according to gamerankings.com
I was simply pointing out that review scores did not justify it as the "Greatest game ever", although it's highly enjoyable, and to me, a reason to own a Ps3.

Dont get me wrong, super mario galaxy is a great game, but mgs4 isnt just a great game, its a game that has set the bar for many years to come and is considered the best game this next gen for any system. Just watch the IGN video review, as he quotes.
"MGS4 doesnt just set the bar, it obliterates it."
Dats all I had to hear and that was his opening comments on the game. Nuff said.
Like I said call me a fanboy all u want, and if u are saying an MGS4 fanboy then yes I am but it doesnt take a genius to know what game out of MGS4 and Mario Galaxy brings more to the table. Its a no brainer. MGS4 hands down smacks dat rehashing plummer man to the curve with some real next gen gaming expirience. :)

I don't think it sold half as well as Halo 3 did... of course it isn't a system seller.
Sony might as well pack it in, in Japan

6.1 - Same thing happened with Halo.
360 sales had a big spike in the month of September, and then leveled off again. The term "System Seller" is really one of the most ridiculous terms conjured up by the industry. No game on its own is going to drive millions of people to purchase a console for 6 months straight, contrary to what analysts believe.
It's the current and future software library that sells systems. Great example is the PS3, which has seen its sales consistently increase as its library improves and expands. Same thing happened to the 360 in 2006. It's a pretty simple formula.

Well, Japan sucks for the PS3. They're in love with the Wii.
Make a Goobi Doobie Nashikobi Part 12 game on the PS3 and it'll sell like a Wii.

Ok if that's that case then why did the PS3 sell over 80000 units in Japan in the week that MGS4 came out. The week before they only sold about 10000 units.

u have a point, but after that week sales went down alot.u expect a big AAA game to help out sell ur nearest rival for at least a couple of weeks if not months but mgs4 could not help the ps3 do that, after week one of out selling the wii the wii bounced back and out sold it again which is not really a good thing.

How many of those people who bought Halo 3 do you assume already owned a 360? exactly. The same could be said about mgs4. People assume a system seller to be a game that sells 5million consoles. The limited edition bundles were sold, as well as a sh1tload of 80g's. I think thats pretty good. Summer sales are always slow . Its only been 2 1/2 weeks for focks-sake give it some time!

the PS3 was averaging 8 - 10 thousand a week. when MGS released it sold 80+ thousand which then sank to 20 + thousand and now it's at 18 thousand... that to me suggests that MGS SOLD consoles

This game was a top seller in Japan.
Oh, a disagree? Mind giving me a reason why? This game did sell pretty well in Japan. This article is a bit misleading because the MGS series is very popular in Japan.

And you don`t care about the dissagrees, they are useless. MGS is popular in Japan, just not the crazy seller some people may have thought it would be, just a pretty good seller. Bottom line, it is an amazing game. And that`s all that matters.

Bladestar you fanboys seem to forget the problems the 360 had with updates.
http://community.winsupersi...
This is just one that I remember.
Oh btw, I don't know of any PS3 owner who had problems with 2.4 and I know of at least 37 people with them living near me and all have downloaded it.
Edit for Montrealien: Yeah I know there is a problem for a very few people, but its not as wide spread as fanboys make it out to be.

So what you`re saying digger, is that based on your point of view, since you don`t know anybody that has had the problem, 37 for that matter. It does not exist? That`s flawed reasoning if you ask me, I mean Sony has recognisee the problem, the least you can do is acknowledge that fact that there was a problem, no matter how many people you know that have not had it.
I have not had a problem either, but I am not so dense as to ignore it, Sony has`nt, you should`nt either.

Montrealien, exactly! Sony recognized that there was a problem with 2.4, which is why they took it down right away to fix it. What pisses ME off is that 360 fanatics are blowing this way out of proportion, as if it's such an epidemic that nothing could be fixed. They need to get the hell over themselves and seriously, if they have so many freakin' games on the 360...THEN WHY AREN'T THEY PLAYING THEM!
Give it a bloody rest already. The 360 had it's share of update problems as well!
Come off it!

YEah, but fanatics on eitherside will blow anything out of proportion either way, the trick is not to let it effect you. When I flip out in this place it is on the general craziness of the whole fanboy thing, and even i let the spur of the moment get to me, which it should`nt. I love my ps3 and my 360 and what pisses me off is that when one problem come to light on either consoles, people start pissing on the other one, I like both and know they both have good things and bad things and I`m here to remind you all that it is about the games. one love, games...

You're absolutely right.
Speaking of games, I finally got FFX. I have to get used to the combat system because I haven't played an FF game in a while. Oh, and I restarted Sigma and I want to play MGS4. I'm also getting my 360 very soon for Ninja Gaiden 2 and a few rpg's.
But that doesn't mean I won't stop defending Sony and the PS3. They've screwed up a couple of times but it takes mistakes to actually learn lessons. I have no doubt in my mind that Sony will learn from their mistakes and deliver the best experience they can give with the PS3.
I'm not giving up on them. They're the reason why I got into gaming in the first place, along with Nintendo.
*pats you* Don't cwy. You'll make juukie cwy too. ;~;
And 4D, you wanna talk about blind loyalty? You and the rest of the 360 fanatics are just as blind towards Microsoft. You hear about the RROD still being an issue, you claim that Microsoft fixed the issue when even the Falcon Chip systems have problems as well. You hear that Microsoft isn't doing well in Japan. You claim that Sony isn't doing so well either. I could go on and on about it.
How about YOU stop being so blind towards Microsoft for a change?
And very cute about the Midol comment. I'm actually feeling much better thank you. I love how you assumed I was angry because of the 2.4 update. Actually, the 2.4 update worked fine for me. I just feel bad for people who had the issue first of all. I'm angry because of personal issues.
But most of my angry goes towards people like you.
And Ken, thanks for your support! :)
You are absolutely right as well!

Please keep in mind that PLAYSTATION®3 provides unique games that can relieve any tension and stress you may endure in life. The console is a great way to get away from it all as you can use certain products such like HOME as a virtual vacation. Sony has also provided several options of games that can release your frustration such as Fight Night Round 3, Pain, Metal Gear Solid, Echochrome and several others.
Sony nailed the hearts of gamers with their products, which is why one of their hardware chips is called the emotion engine.
