Good News about Madden 09 for PS3

EA Sports is serious about earning cred PS3 gamers. Their upcoming press event for the 20th Anniversary of Madden is an exclusively PlayStation affair. The final playable versions of this year's Madden will be present, and only the PS3 and PSP versions will be shown -- no love for the Xbox 360 or Wii.

This is an interesting change for the sports company, whose games ran at a slower framerate on PS3 than Xbox 360 last year. However, ever since former Microsoft-exec Peter Moore took over EA Sports, we've been seeing more emphasis on the PS3 versions of sports games. For example, the PS3 was the system of choice when demonstrating NCAA Football at a media event last month.

Ok I got MSG4 today, AMAZING game, lots of controls though. Still learning. HOW THE HELL DO YOU PASS THE BROKEN OWN BUILDING AFTER YOU MEET DREKIN? Part's really pissing me off... When i'm the the place the guy is like head North-West and jump. There is no jump button? How do I head northwest when the platform thing is like 2 feet?

MGS4 has closer to 1.5 Million First Day Sales they are now saying, projected to be between 1.8 - 2.1 million for END OF THE SALES WEEK. MGS4 was released on Thursday, whereas the vast majority of games are released on Tuesday.

Halo 3 had 3.8 Million First Week

GTA IV had 3.34 Million First Week (360 Version)

GTA IV had 2.42 Million First Week (PS3 Version)

However, some games have better legs then others and some games have frontloaded sales

Also, some reports are saying that Sony misread the hype and should have shipped a lot more bundles. (estimate is only 70,000 for all of the USA)

A note though, MGS isn't as a big of a Franchise as some people think. No doubt it has a significant hardcore following, but it does not have massive appeal to much of the market.

How previous titles sold

MGS 1 - 5.6 Million Total

MGS 2 - 5.9 Million Total (Including Substance)

MGS 3 - 4.8 (Including Subsistence)

Those are solid numbers, but as a comparison (only including games from last generation)

GTA3 - 11.6 Million

GTA:VC - 14.2 Million

GTA:SA - 17.2 Million

GT3 - 15 Million (they say around 3 million of that was bundles)

GT4 - 9.5 Million

Halo:CE - 6.5 Million

Halo 2 - 8.5 Million

SSB:Melee - 7.1 Million

Mario Kart:DD - 6.96 Million

FF7 - 10 Million

FFX - 8 Million

Kingdom Hearts - 5.5 Million

Prediction: Based on the hype, reviews and the fact there are few other big games coming out this Summer,(for any console) I see MGS4 being the top selling MGS game, breaking the 6 Million mark lifetime. I think the inclusion of Metal Gear:Online will help the game have longer legs. However, many people that I know (anecdotal as it may be) don't even know that MGS4 has a multiplayer.
