Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) helps push Sony Playstation 3 Sales beyond Nintendo Wii

I did hear that Mario Kart Wii outsold Metal Gear Solid 4 last week, which makes me question VGCharts’ number…

Thats in the US only Jed, in Japan MGS4 sold 456,000 in 3 days mario kart sold 38,000

It should also be noted that Mario Kart Wii has been available in Japan for over two months now. We’ll see how many copies MGS4 sells in two months.

@ Jed, Dave, Jason

All of you realize what this thread is about, don’t you? Re-read the last paragraph, then read the question in BOLD BLACK writing, and get your comments inline with the thread, or start hating on fanboys and all types of fanboyism (i.e. Jed and Jason).

RE:
Why do you think the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) dominated the Nintendo Wii in sales for the week of June 7th to June 14th?

Obviously the release of MGS4 had a lot to do with this, but let’s not start a f***in flame war over something so futile.

**Stop fanboyism; hang yourself**

So everyone that was wating for MGS4 to get a PS3 has done so by now. Now PS3 sales will crash until the overhyped Killzone 2.

Yeah, when FF13 comes out exclusive to the PS3, and people realize that a dvd disc isn’t enough to hold a true next gen game then people will regret buying the 360.

Yeah like Halo 3 isn’t the most over hyped game ever? That was a medicore game at best…

The reason for the sales spike: Metal Gear 4 is a master piece!!!!!

Shut up about Halo 3 already. When are people going to let it go already. I hear you Playstation fanboys cut up Halo because the story line is weak or too short, but it DOES have great replay value because it offers a fun online experience. I’m also hearing 360 fanboys cutting up MGS4 because it has too many cut scenes, but that’s because 360 has nothing that closely compares to MSG4 or the FF series, but that doesn’t mean 360 games’ quality is less than it was pre-MGS4 does it? No! Both systems are a blast.

I think that another poster, JBristle (AKA JBreezy, a 360 fanboy), was on to something when he said “the definition of a fanboy is someone who can’t afford both consoles”. He’s wrong by definition, but I do believe that people who can only afford one console, including JBristle (says he has a PS3 and 360, yet will only buy multiplatform games on the 360…fanboy) are more often than not fanboys. Fanboys seem to own only one console so they spend the rest of thier time justifying why their investment was a good one. The answer to the question “What gaming system is the best” is an answer of judgement and nothing more, since you can judge it by Console Sales, Software sales, number of available titles, attach rate, game quality, and so on. See, the only judgement that matters is yours, but that judgement should end with you; if it doesn’t, please see my advise in my tag line.

All you fanboys should be thrown into a river with a rock tied to both ankles.

Come on already, find something new to flame about on these threads. The 360 has some great games, as does the PS3. Both systems have a bunch of games that flopped too, but that’s the developers’ fault, not the consoles’. Quit ragging on consoles and start ripping on the people who deserve it like EA for making Def Jam’s Icon (PS3 & 360, Midway for making Hour of Victory (360) or Ubisoft for making Enchanted Arms (PS3, but maybe the worst game ever made for this generation of consoles).

**Stop fanboyism; hang yourself**

“Sony PS3 is more superior (maybe).”

lol, bias and completely redundant.

Halo 3 wasn’t over rated, people expected the world of it and that was the problem because Halo was already great, there wasn’t much change needed. The graphics are actually really well done. The lighting, textures, architecture and geometry of the game is insane if you know anything about gaming. Campaign was ok but 4 palyer co-op campaign is still played 1 million times a week to this day and multiplyer is still played by 2 million people a week.

MGS4 is great but there isnt much replay value. MGS online could use alot of improvements because it doesn’t stand out from any other 3PS games.

@ tgrass

Hey LooseA$$, stop acting like a F^<KIN fanboy. Nobody likes fanboys including their families. I agree, Halo 3 is a great game, but F^<K off with your fanboyism. Yes, we know: You love all things related to your 360 and Playstation is the devil reincarnated. You epitomize fanboys and your posts are a prefect expample of fanboyism. Find a bridge over rocks and take the leap of faith. If the 360 gods love you as you love them, they will give you wings and rescue you. If they don’t, I guess they regard fanboys in the same way I do.

**Stop fanboyism; hang yourself**

@IHateYouAll- I own PS3 and MGS4. It’s a FACT that 360 has a much stronger game lineup… not fanboyism.

I never said anything bad about PS3, I said MGS4 doesn’t have much replay value.

Was your face beat red when you wrote that ? Wow ! Get laid or something.

P.S. Unfortunately PS3 is now 3.3 BILLION in the hole as of today and MGS4 didn’t move many extra PS3′s.

Bad sign

@ LooseA$$ and anybody else I’ve knocked for being a fanboy

All of you are retards.

Instead of reading ProductReviews.net for your gaming news you should be reading VGChartz.com. The writers are self-declared fanboys but are honest about it, unlike LooseA$$ who lies about owning more than one console. At VG you can see worldwide sales for your console(s) in all regions (i.e. North America, UK, Japan). It also shows weekly charts for hardware AND software.

See Loosea$$, if you read news (if you can call ProductReviews news) on UK websites you’re going to get the “news” pertaining to the UK. You were right when you said MSG4 created a very small hardware sale increase for the PS3 (6-7% for the region), however UK sites won’t mention that the PS3 hardware sales increased 180% in North America and 700% in Japan week-over-week after MSG4 was released. You also didn’t know that the PS3 sold more than the Wii in total worldwide sales figures for that week also. This isn’t really an accomplishment in comparision to how well H3 increased 360 sales or how well the Wii sells every single month, but you’re just blowing smoke out of your loosea$$ and you don’t even know it.

This isn’t your fault. Product Reviews is just a bad place to get actual news, but since you choose bad news to read I’ll rip on you for being wrong and/or misinformed. So to sum this up, Loosea$$, you’re a douche, a fanboy, and read terrible news. All of this leads me to believe that your uncle touched your lil’weewee when you were younger. Lol

P.S. I Love You….LMAO
