as far as I'm concerned, Konami is Sony's bitch, Namco is 360's bitch, and both Sony and MS are Capcom's bitch
Nintendo games are doing shit on the 360 too.cw_sasuke said:Pathetic 360 Sales.....
Minsc said:It's really just amusing that one would substitute in the wording clearly not used in the original article. When Starcraft 2 was announced, I believe it tipped sales of the original back in to some charts. The metal gear series is a much heavier story based game, so I wouldn't be surprised if the previous entries or compilations sold more than normal with the release of a new, anticipated addition to the series. Regardless, it was really just the choice of substituting Konami's chosen use of "series" to a specific title that amused me so much. While MGS4 has sold very well, I am not sure it was well enough to retain 4+ million of the sales out of the 4+ million actual sales from the "series."

gtj1092 said:Wait they make HD games and not only that the majority of their sales comes from supposedly one of the most expensive games ever made. This can't be right. Or maybe just maybe some company's are mismanaged.
OldJadedGamer said:True, if it was multiplatform it would be double that number.

Paracelsus said:On LaLaLand maybe.
On this planet? Maybe a couple millions more. Very "maybe".
Multiplatform simply splits the userbase and slightly increases it.

Computer & Video Games business: METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS for PlayStation 3
was released simultaneously worldwide. Truly overwhelming in scale, this is the first PlayStation 3 title to
use the full capacity of a Blu-Ray Disc. It received accolades even before its release and was honored with
the prize of excellence in the Entertainment Division of the 11th Japan Media Arts Festival sponsored by the
Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. The total number of the copies shipped has already passed the four
million mark and the sales are still steadily increasing testimony to the prowess of the METAL GEAR
SOLID brand.
They have a nice mix of revenue across all the different platforms including PS2 (except for 360). If you look at the breakdown for Q2 2008 they were working from a solid base of profitability with the non-HD and handhelds, and this year they expanded to the PS3 while maintaining the solid base on the other platforms. EA is a completely different situation, I assume that is what you were referring to.gtj1092 said:Wait they make HD games and not only that the majority of their sales comes from supposedly one of the most expensive games ever made.

Raist said:How exactly does that mean that those 4M+ sales aren't for MGS4 alone ?
Manager said:PES is a genre too, "Soccer", as well as baseball (whatever that game is called). Music would probably be DDR.
