Metal Gear isn’t out yet, so predicting the future is difficult. It might be an awful game or it might be the best game I have ever played (I highly doubt that because MGS1 hold that title currently). All I have seen on MGS4 is trailers and they have all amazed me the game looks stunning and the control system look like it’s going to be very easy to use. Until it’s out you can’t really tell what it’s going to be from trailer but tomorrow I hope I will be able to play on MGO beta, so hopefully it will share a lot of game aspect in common with MGS4.

My point is this game will sell millions and help push the Sony brand even if it sucks. But my friend claims it not going to. I myself haven’t seen anything of Gear 2 yet apart from some tec demos but he’s claiming that Gear’s 2 will look and play better than Metal Gear Solid 4 it may be true but he has no evidence to prove it. From what I understand Gears 2 isn’t going to look that much better than Gears did and from what I have seen of MGS4, Gears look like a Wii game.

i personally think that gears is a mediocre title, maybe gears 2 will be better, but better than mgs4? i don't think so, it is basically a mindless shooter, i'm not saying that i think it's mediocre just because it's for xbox, i think resistance is mediocre and i think halo is great, but as far as being better than mgs4, that's not gonna happen, sounds to me like your friend is just a hopeless fanboy

How can MGS4 not be a system seller if its the first PS3 game to have its own design on limited edition PS3s, that are in demand.

sales figure are not out in America, so i can't say if it sold well.
in the UK the ps3 sales rates for consoles is high because of GT5 and GTA4 so MGS4 just kept console sales high, so you can't really make a comparison there. plus it sold something like 135,000 units in one day of the game, can't wait to see what it did in a week.

also why do developer make games?

Hey people you have to be more informed. In the first day MGS4 sold 1.3 millions games, Sony only put 70,000 PS3 bundles pack out there that day and they sold every bundle. The limited one was sold out also, so I think that the MGS4 is a system seller. MGS4 is the best game out there right now I don't think that Gear 2 is going to be better of MGS4. pirate

also there is not primary source to back up what he put
or even location of this 70,000 units it could have been on one country or the whole world
also not everyone buys a bundle anyway they can still buy the console with a copy of the game
