Ok, then enjoy the crappy sales.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has said that there are no plans to drop the current price of the PlayStation 3.
Speaking to investors, chief financial officer Nobuyuki Oneda said the company remains focused on profitability for its games division.
"Our strategy is not to sell more quantity for PS3 but to concentrate on profitability," said Oneda, reports smartmoney.com
"Our plan is to not reduce the price."
The comments come ahead of an expected announcement by rival console manufacturer Microsoft that it will cut the price of its Xbox 360 Premium SKU by USD 50, to USD 299 this weekend.
Too bad. I was looking in to getting one if they lowered the price. I can wait though, after watching some MGS4 gameplay videos of the levels I haven't played I really don't care about the game anymore.

Blasphemer!
MGS4's gameplay is amazing, so many ways to play with the enemy. Having certain acts represent previous games is brilliance.
The only thing wrong with the game is the story, massive disappointment compared with previous efforts.
On-topic, absorbing more losses than your competitors is not good business. The PS3 sells for a loss, a price cut is not good idea.

I guess it really just isn't my type of game. the gameplay just looked too similar to FPS like Dark Sector, and the stealth didn't appeal to me in the slightest. I'll stick to NG2 if i want hundreds of ways to kill the enemy
The storyline is actually the part I thought I'd miss the most, but....

eh.
This is MGS not FPS! [ Dark Sector in third person but Plays nothing like it.]
If you don't like stealth you don't like metal gear, but dont compare it to NG2. I didn't say i liked that there are hundreds of ways to kill. A blade is a blade. If you liked Metal Gear you would know the fun is from playing with the enemy.
Its a shame there isn't a price cut, there should be some sort of rebate (would be nice). I want to buy one for my brother 2 givem on his bday.
