For a fad, it's certainly doing better than the PS3

Fuck - iPods were a fad, and look at them now.

Now do you have anything relevant to contribute, or just a few more attempts at inflammatory rhetoric?

i have to disagree with you on this one DA.

the last generation xbox only had a 20% market share, with the ps2 dominating with 70%+ share.

this generation is different, with xbox360 clearly in the lead, 6.5M xbox360 vs 1.5M PS3 in North America. That's almost 500% difference.

furthermore, MGS has proven to be a big seller in North America, and not in RPG-happy japan. with such a huge xbox360 installed base in NA so far, it would make economical sense to bring the franchise over to Microsoft.

Sometimes you need to argue with facts instead of emotion, sorry DA!

because gamers are elitists, and they don't like the game being made available to people who they deem as being uninformed gamers for having bought another console in the first place, either due to blind hatred, or because they fear that the subsequent releases may cater to the desires of those masses, rather than to the "true" gamers.

Apology not accepted and point declined. Now take a hike before I make sausage out of you and sell it to Satriale's meat market in fuckin' Jersey.

Stunod.

I stand by my opinion.

if you check out the new trailer here:

http://www.konami.jp/gs/kojima_pro/...4_e32k7_eng.asx

at 5:52 sec it states simultaneous worldwide release. This could pretty much confirm it!!!!

I agree with all of that except the last sentence, replace "true gamers" with "themselves" and I'm golden.

it was implied, since we all know that the only true gamers are the ones who like what you do

I have no link, and no proof as of now, but I DID read on another forum from the Sony E3 press conference that MGS4 has been confirmed a PS3 exclusive. Take that as you wish, but I'm pretty sure the news is all over the web by now anyway.

Good for Sony, they need more guns.

I've been all over E3 coverage (legitimate and blog based) and haven't seen or heard anything to that effect.

Take it with a grain of salt until you can confirm it.

Edit: Also, I'll just go ahead and say what I'm sure all of you already know - a console "exclusive" like MGS4 (i.e. one that's cost millions to make) is really probably only going to remain "exclusive" for about a year, tops.

I'll wait it out if I have to.

No, actually, the wording has been debated all over the place, because they said something like "it'll be the only place you can play it next year, when it comes out" or something vague like that. They didn't specifically say that it would be an exclusive past the time of release.

Posted by SuspicionVandit on Jul-13-2007 01:52:

i really the fact that they missed Christmas 2007 doesn't mean their TITLE OF TITLES to revitalize such a software impotent system is being set for release for Christmas 2008

(which in turn, would give a short term of exclusivity if ^ is correct about the select choice of words)

Not to mention, during the sony press conference, they introduced the makers of the game calling it exclusive.

So sad.

Just keep telling yourself that.

Funny, this press release says nothing of xbox, but has ps3 written everywhere

nobody's claiming it's coming out any time soon, if at all. All that's been mentioned so far is the fact that their wording @ e3 was strange, to say the least, as it wasn't absolute in stating that 'THIS WILL NEVER BE ON ANOTHER CONSOLE.' It didn't sound like it was going to be out on 360--more like they either just failed to write the speech well enough, or that they were still in negotiations to keep it permanently exclusive (as opposed to having a release on 360 somewhere way down the line, as GTA did a few years ago), so they couldn't say anything yet.

This isnt proof here, but this is the site I read that gave me the indication that MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive.

http://e3.gamespot.com/story.html?s...estnews;title;4

A good ways down, you'll read:

[12:33] Tretton comes back to introduce "one last third-party platform," which he is "happy to say is only on PlayStation 3."

[12:34] Enter Hideo Kojima to introduce Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. He's nearly blinded by flashbulbs.

I dunno if that serves as 'proof', plus from the sound of things, you've probably already read that site anyway

Also, your point on 3rd party exclusives not staying exclusive for more than a year...I agree, but what gives with all these 360 exclusives NOT coming to PS3? Where is a PS3 Gears of War or PS3 Dead Rising? I'm not chapping you here, but rather bringing up the point that the PS3 isnt getting some of these games that were in fact developed by 3rd parties. Why not expand the audience?

The same could happen here with MGS4. It'll depend entirely on how it sells.

That's right, I forgot. You already know how useless you are.

Fair play.
