MGS is ok but not a system seller. Plus its been multi- platform last gen so why not again? Most likely it will have to be for Konami to make any money at all.

So why exactly buy a PS3?

I won't buy a PS3 in the future, there are just not many games to enjoy, other than Afrika and the Endless Ocean rip off, i don't see any other reason to own a PS3 in the future.

Well just don't buy one yet, just wait until 08 when the ps3 wil give you all non-believers enough reason to go and pick one up (unless yall are blind fanboys who wouldn't buy a ps3 if your life depended on it)

I was going to say MGS, but you already mentioned it.

If I were to buy a PS3 in the near future, MGS would be the main reason why.

Then you can always say the new FF games coming out and Killzone 2 look interesting.

right now? no reason that you should. But maybe next year people would have a reason to, i believe. Even if FF, MGS and GT fail the hype they'd still be the games to buy.

Add GT5, and those are the games I am definately going to get. I might get Killzone, but meh FPS games... Hopefully they will make that FFVII game they were supposedly showing at TGS.

P.S. Why wasn't there any news about Star Ocean 4 on gamespot?! Did SE's booth require a ticket?

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a system seller. You may as well say Halo 3 wasn't a system seller.

What does it matter what anyone says in this thread? No matter how many worthwhile games a person will list as reasons to purchase a PS3, fanboys will just disregard them.

Because everyone knows Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo are just games for a very small niche. They don't move systems at all, am I right? Amarite?

i bought a PS3 because im a gamer and planned on owning all systems this generation now that im making money :S i already had a launch Wii and my brother has a 360 so we are all set for gaming awesome. we are picking Halo 3 this week and probably Phantom Hourglass too. you know why? we arent losers who debate over which system is better all day long. each has it's ups and downs. (SuxAseS, RRoDeath, bad graphics) but each will have awesome games. this is like the best year of gaming ever.woot!

MGS4 is too big for DVD9.

And considering the fact that a reasonable amount of gamers consider MGS3 to be the best game on the PS2, MGS4 is reason enough to get a PS3.

two things are clear to me here. 1) You haven't seen the new MGS4 trailer from TGS 2) you're a fanboy who doesn't seem to get it still that MGS4 is NOT coming to 360.

let's see

PS3 gets action/adventure games, sports games, and has decent FPS games, etc etc etc.

Just like me, you made generalization of PS3 that was untrue.

Anyways, I would buy a PS3 when:

A game I want to play is out (nothing even close atm).

Blu-Ray makes some serious inroads into the real movie market (not HD DVD).

It is under $300 (i.e. a year or two from now).

So why exactly buy a PS3?

L1qu1dSword

Ask yourself this. Im not a MGS or FF fan. So honestly, what purpose does a PS3 serve me? Multiplats are almost always better on the 360 AND I have a high end PC. Any and every game I want is on PC and 360. I would be wasting my time even considering purchasing a PS3...... :shock:
