Will MGS4 for the PS3 be delayed?

A Hind D?

I betcha that Hack Kojima buckled and is working on a 360 version that will be unveiled at E3.

Meryl!?

michi...
E3 is dead... it is not what it was, not even close, and it never will be again. wait for something like TGS, E for all, or hell even PAX.
yay... my news tip made front page

OMG hotness I wanna bang you!

This is a bad move by Sony. Without another great game lined up in the next 6 months, the system will remain on the waiting list for most gamers

As long as Final Fantasy XIII is on time, the system will do just fine.

Sony bashing is fun but please save it for when they deserve. Sony isn't going to delay MGS4, Konami is. Besides, games get delayed all the time (I'm looking at you Nintendo), just it isn't always one that a console depends on.

Look at the Gamecube. It had many of the best games of the last gen on it and the console still didn't do great. One game cannot save a failing system. Not saying the PS3 is or isn't failing, but while FFXIII will definately boost sales, it will not boost sales a significant amount.

it's probaly good for sony cuz maybe by then it'll get like a 50 dollar or so price cut so more people will have bought them. though i think they need to up the price cut from the usual 50 bucks to 100, even after you buy the system and a game it's still more than what the system costs now.

-> Ambulance-Y: How is cutting the price of a console they're already making a several hundred dollar loss for each unit on a good thing for sony, exactly? The ps3 is looking more and more like the gamecube of this generation. Only the gamecube never cost 600 dollars...

@ brad, if no one is buying it and a majority of the reason is price, wouldn't a price cut just mean more people buying the system? and more people buying the system means more companies wanting to make software, more companies making software means more people buying the software and proprietery medium it comes on, also more ps3's means more blu-ray players and people to buy the blu-ray movies, also more ps3s means more people buying accessories like controllers, ps2 mem card adaptors, and other junk. so how would a price cut not make them money?

wow!!
JUST WOW!!!

do you know how many people will get rid of their PS3 now?!

this PROMISE sold many PS3's!!

Umm. I never really expected MGS4 until 2008 anyway. The 'delay' is a good thing though. Every PS3 owner will now be able to fold an extra 500 work units before having anything else to do with their system.

MGS4 will come out in 08 no doubt. Its gonna be delayed so they can "make it cooler"

lol, Snake is old.

Hmm, so I guess I'll be waiting until at least March 1, 2008 to buy a PS3 then, assuming that this is accurate, of course (and assuming MGS4 isn't announced for the 360 between now and then). I tend to distrust early release dates posted on retail sites until and unless I hear something official from the developers or publishers of the game first.

Hopefully, as others have already said, such a delay will allow Kojima to fully feed his urge for perfectionism, and we won't be shafted with a rushed product.

FFXIII on time?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OMG that's a good one. Listen. I'm as big of a Square-Enix fan as they come. Really.

They never do ANYTHING on time.

FFXIII, maybe out in Japan in time for the 2008 holiday season. But it wouldn't shock me to see it in 2009.

Seems to me that they are delaying the game on purpose, waiting until there are actually enough PS3's in people's homes that the game has a chance in hell of selling what the previous games in the series sold.

If Konomi were smart, they'd take note of the fact that the Wii is now selling about nine times as quickly as the PS3 in Japan (even in the face of huge Wii shortages) and port a version of this game to the Wii with the MGS:Twin Snakes graphics engine.

This wouldn't hurt the sales of the PS3 version. In fact, it might actually help it.

Other than Spiderman 3, there are few head to head comparisons to be made between the PS3 and the Wii graphcis on the same game.

Believe it or not, a lot of casual gamers don't see the big difference between the graphics of PS3 and Wii games. That kind of head to head comparison always drives home which system is "better".

As I recall, Tomb Raider came out on the Saturn first, but looked so much better on the PS1 that it sold far more on that system. It's even considered one of the reasons that the PS1 beat the Saturn, along with Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil.

I was actually waiting for this game to come out before I bought a PS3. Looks like I have more time to save up now!

Obviously.
