1)If you look at the attach rate for the game it isn't really "bad" news and who cares if VGchartz is as accurate as NPD or Sim Exchange? The only real purpose of that site is to give as accurate as data as they can based on algorithms and estimates. They're not as in the know as NPD and Sim Exchange so a lot of the site bashing needs to end regardless of bias or not.

2) It isn't "bad" news. Almost a quarter of the userbase in Japan purchased MGS4 in the first...

O_o....

If the PS3 was "never a consideration" then why were all of those news stories about C&C3 being canceled for the PS3 even relevant then? If they never had any consideration for putting the game on the platform then why was it announced for the platform in the first place?

I'm not a C&C fan anyways, but regardless of that it still doesn't make sense to me that they would announce a game for a platform, cancel the game for that platform, and then...

This could be very bad if true.

HOWEVER

Resi-4 was released on the Gamecube for like an entire year before it ever saw the light of day on the PS3. I doubt that the timed-exclusivity would be THAT long, but even so that type of deal didn't kill the PS2 and it certainly wont be damaging the PS3 as long as their other 1st-party titles released this fall and holiday season hold up as good as they are claiming.

It may "lead" to a delay but considering that Square-Enix never gave a release date for Versus XIII officially then its not really a delay. It's just....a change in production priorities.

To be honest? I just think that Ninja Theory got kinda miffed that their beautiful action tour-de-force was met with a collective "bwuh?" back last september.

Don't get me wrong, I own the game and I think it has some of the best graphics and animated sequences in most games today. However, and I'm putting this lightly, it was just way too short. A hell of a ride, but like roller coasters they're pretty much over just as your really getting in to them.

MGS4 already got confirmed to have sold 1.3 million units worldwide on Day one sales. I'm fairly certain that the entire week (which actually ends this coming THURSDAY) will show extremely impressive sales.

It has 512, not 256 and has been split. Everyone knows that.

Although I'm not sure but this is why people initially said it was difficult to program for because of "parallel programming" or something like that.

I could be wrong though. Not about the 512 thing, but the parallel thing.

If MS is indeed planning on being the first out the gate with a new system then that rumor about no more dashboard updates might have some weight behind it.

Microsoft did the same thing with the original Xbox. After they got started on their new system they cut off all support for the original console and headed in to the next-gen. IF, and this is a big if, IF microsoft is indeed already planning on releasing their new console in 09 or 10 then you can probably bet that the 360 ...

Dear Japanese developers,

Now that you have seen that AAA titles actually DO sell on the PS3 could you please now show the darn thing a bit more support instead of grabbing up the quickest payoff to support non-proven hardware?

Thanks, Ashta.

Wow, you would think that with all of the anti-trust and anti-competition lawsuits that Microsoft has right now that they wouldn't want to jump in to another one.

Considering if they DID (highly unlikely though) buy out Sega that would be an absolutely devastating hit to the gaming industry, but then again since when has Microsoft cared about destroying an industry. You know their motto "If you cant beat the competition on the battlefield, just buy out the battlefield and ...

92,000 units? Not bad. Maybe now Namco-Bandai will see that things DO actually sell on the Ps3 and maybe well get some JRPG love from them.

"Wal-Mart wants the Blu-ray player to catch on so it can sell $39 movies, so the $100 offer is valid for all Blu-ray players, which includes the PS3"

Was that some sort of shot at the blu-ray movie industry? I have yet to ever see a "39 dollar movie" and considering most of the BD movies at wal-mart are being sold at the same prices at DVD's it just sounded weird.

Who better to finish off Raynor than Sarah Kerrigan? or maybe Duran?

Apparently you haven't done your homework on the whole "BD drive is sloooow" myth. You see, when most people see the term "2x BD drive" they automatically think "OMG thats like a 2x DVD drive! thats terribly slow!!" except the only thing that these people realize is that a 2x BD drive is not the same as a 2x DVD drive. The PS3 can read and load DVD9 discs just as fast as the 360 can and if developers actually released PS3 games on DVD9 if they weren't going to us...

I would like to know why an admin approved a flamebait story that was submitted by a guy who is plugging his own site to get hits.

Agreed, they should have sealed this deal up by now, and if Star Ocean 4 becomes an Xbox 360 exclusive? Then I can't say that I'll be investing in any of Tri-Ace's products in the future.

Well, looks like Star Ocean 3 will be the last SO game I ever bought.
