MGS4 is SO not a console seller
BlindsideDork | 1:01 PM on 06.23.2008 35 comments



Another MGS4 blog?! Can't be!

It is, I hate them as much as you but since playing the game, this needed to be said. After all is said and down, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot is SO not a console seller.



Who cares about the fact that it sold a lot of units and PS3's. Who cares that it put the PS3 at #1 seller in Japan. Is that important? No! Of course not. Those types of sales don't make a console seller. Get with the program noob!

And disregard the fact that the game is awesome, even for someone who only played Metal Gear Solid and skipped 2 & 3. On top of that, just cause a game can cause Xbox fanboys, Nintendo fanboys, and people who don't have a PS3 to BUY a PS3, that SO does not make it a console seller.


If a game is good and causes people to buy the game with the console to play it, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a console seller. I mean the only way that MGS4 could be considered a console seller is if it sold 5.5 million copies on its first day and constantly was sold out. Otherwise the game is considered a complete failure. Well that is what some competeing company told me so they must be right, right?

So Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroit is a game that is fun. You don't play it the whole time (the cutscenes are entertaining and engaging) but the times that you do is more fun than a lot of other games out there. Win. Stop the hate and enjoy a good game.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

If a whole country puts a system over the rest just for that game, it is a console seller. and it just did that... do.

it's more of an Apple, Triumph Motorcycles, and Sony Ericsson phone seller, than anything.

Wii Sports is an example of software that comes on a disc that has been sold out in recent years. Now there is a system seller if I ever saw one. If sales are anything to go by it's the best game of the current generation. Isn't that why we all bought our Wii's?

MGS 4 sold me a system alright, I haven't even touched my 360 since I got it, and the Wii's been dormant for even longer... I do need to finish GTA IV though, so that streak may be ending...

I agree. I know that MGS4 didn't make me buy a PS3.

Your BBcode is broken. Add a little [/sarcasm] tag to the end of it, and it should be fixed.

It's a console seller for me as soon as they drop the price a bit. a) I'm a Metal Gear nut from way back and b) it's the first exclusive game on the Triples that has really grabbed my interest.

But then again if they announce the xbox port soon then I might just wait and get it for that.

All the MGS fanboys I know didn't buy PS3's for it, they just sobbed. So I agree with you.

Yeah I bought my PS3 when GT5P came out because I knew MGS4 was gonna come out too... ( and because I wanted to get every console of this generation and the PS3 was the only one missing )

I almost bought a PS3 for this game, then I remembered I didn't care for any of the other MGS games so I decided to buy something else, some candles I think, or maybe some popsicles...one of the two

When are we going to get to the point where number of consoles being sold doesn't matter to us? It doesn't matter to me. I'm talking about the gaming community as a whole. All these NPD numbers. It's all just fanboy ammo.

That stuff is too nerdy even for me. A hardcore gamer.
