@kspraydad, Where are you getting the idea that the bundle will sell 2.5 million in the us? Why do you think it will make up 50% of all PS3 sales in the US?
@Heloise10, You're right, thats why the stock was valued at 5 million sales already, higher than any previous game despite being on a smaller user base.
If sales of the PS3 in the US hit 5 million this year and the 80GB sells at a 50/50 split with the 40GB (this has been the case so far by reports) your are automatically selling 2.5 million MGS4 games by Xmas.
Don't think this is too much of a stretch dependant on how long this bundle is around.
Not sure. Sony will push very hard on this one. They've got something to prove ( BTWhere's the boxhttp://kotaku.com/361158/metal-gear-solid-4-the-ps3-bundle-the-cardboard-box)
Wow, theres going to be some people who are losing serious DKP when this thing comes out and the sales numbers come out. Theres no way this title will sell 1 million more copies than the most popular game in the series to date did.
Even without those speculations I find it hard to believe that somehow this title is going to pick up additional fans when the PS3 has lost marketshare overall and it's an exclusive title.
@GoblinMerchant, I thought the X360 port is still speculation (not confirmed yet) ? Unless it is officially announced, there is no reason to factor in the cannibalization factor.
