Metal Gear Solid 4 to be unrivaled, constant seller until 2008 holidays

If you're pretty much done analyzing every single aspect of the E for All demo for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, here's something else to think about. MGS4 producer Ryan Payton of Kojima Productions recently stated his expectations for their game as it comes out next year.

How successful will it be, given all the contenders out there? This was asked of Payton during the E for All event down at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and his reply expressed that he actually wasn't worried about competition. As Payton mentions, he thinks that Metal Gear Solid 4 will be the leading title for next year. He continues with:

We're not looking for a big bang, to sell a couple million copies in two weeks and then just trickle out throughout the year. I think we're going to sell consistently, we're going to own the majority of 2008 I think. Especially with the online mode we're including is going to keep people coming back. And we're just going to keep updating Metal Gear Online. So I'm thinking we're going to have steady sales all the way through to Christmas 2008.

That actually sounds very reassuring. For some of you who might be giving Metal Gear Online a rather lukewarm reception (maybe because of pricing?), it seems as if the devs at Kojima Productions really are putting their best efforts into it. MGO is coming bundled with MGS4, so for those still thinking twice about the online aspect, might as well just give it a try. Before you know it you might get hooked and, to prove that Payton was right on the money, keep on coming back for more.

Really GTA IV should break Halo 3's first day sale if Rockstar launch the title right.

Y? because THREE GTAs were released already. thats 1 to many in ONE generation (IMO).

San Andreas rinsed the whole franchise for me.

GT 5 and Killzone are definitly considerable

With SSBB coming out the same year, I doubt it.
