Really? I haven't seen one oddly enough. Guess NY is the prime target for MGS.

I see them everyday down here in Georgia, it's like they're rubbing my nose in it.

I saw the commercials out here in the hotbed of MGS fanatics known as......Missouri.

No MGS commercials here in Kansas. Maybe I don't watch the right channel.

I saw this commercial up here in Canada.

Also, I don't think we should comment on selling figures until it's been out for at least a month and we get figures from North America (unless there were some in some of the links you guys posted). It's unfair to post figures for a game that's been out for 12 days and compare them to games that have been out for a few months (and is multi-platform) or games that have been out for a year or two.

I haven't seen a single MGS4 commercial here in the Bean.

Sony does need this: they did lose more than 3 billion on the PS3 the last two years. I don't think any other game has the global appeal of MGS in the PS3 lineup until GT5 or FF.

They are banking big time on Little Big Planet and KZ2. I think KZ2 is their most invested project so far. Who even knows at this point when FF or GT5 will hit the map.

FF13 will probably be like FF12, probably gets delayed for a while then comes out around late 2009/early 2010 and turns out to be very good. Not great, but very good.

GT5, it better not be like Prologue. I'm seriously disappointed at how much the series has pretty much regressed since GT2 IMO.

Is Gran Turismo really that a big of a series? For some reason I got the impression that it wasn't as important as it used to be. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of that style of driving.

It has it's fans for some reason. I loved Gran Turismo 1, thought 2 was great, then didn't care for 3 or 4. I hate the license tests and the racing is just boring to me. It's the same for Forza. I just want to race, not tinker with the car for 100 hours.

Give me Grid, Project Gotham 4, etc.

I consider myself a big GT fan- I like Forza better but the opportunity to have both of those games has me drooling. I cannot wait for the full version of GT- I saw no reason to get Prologue but you better believe I'll be all over GT5.

Too many things were missing from GTP. I'm a big GT guy and I just didn't feel the game too much. But as it says in the title, it is a Prologue. I'm sure GT5 will be amazing.

Just got Grid...most fun I've had racing since GT on the PS one.

I think right there, that cements this generation. No way MS or Sony can even think of a new console right now. They need something that will move systems, both have already fired a lot of their guns. MS has one bullet left this year, Sony had 3-4 bullets left. Gears will sell like crazy, but if GTA 4 and MGS4 can't move systems, then neither will it.
