You know many people have the same opinion that your friend.
Because there was this dark time when you play Nintendo or playstation or you was some freak like me who play PC games. Mech Warrior, Diablo, Star Craft, Doom etc..
Later Xbox and Microsoft begin what we can call the reborn of American video games. Because more people play their games beside PC players, no because they were dead.
But if you ever play consoles, it seems american developers are practically new. Where is my diablo?

Well I love Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and Resident evil.
Japanese games all, but Silent Hill 4 (seriously what was that!) Was like a Corage the cowardly dog episode.
I play Slent Hill 0 made by an American team this time and it feels goods, like a return to silent hill 1 and 2, I have the same impression whit 5 is like American developers keep the main substance and only add better graphics. Its feel like some of the last Japanese designers do to many unnecessary changes like Fatal Frame 3, the repetition is annoying nothing like the great Fatal Frame 2.
And we can say the same about FF 10 repetitive, not 7 any way. FF12 looks like some one want to copy gild wars, the main story is so ambiguous they should let you name and design your own character.

Cool!
Where is Frank West?

Yeah sure...
He quit because he was going to be the start in Uwe Boll film.

okay I never say was cheap to make a game.
Just that make a million or 3 in a day is to ambitious.
For example, MGS3 or Halo 2 were expensive and difficult to develop but in those days, no one expected to have a investment return in one day and the rest of the year profit. Every one have more modest expectations like sell from 5 to 10 millions over a year.

Not games, the news, for example Esquare Enix say they want to work with American studios to develop games more appealing to westerns.
And I do not mention MSG4 in this last post. Dont be paranoid.
Just say since Halo 3 was realesed every one sales expectations have raised. When Halo 3 was launched, was the first time I hear a studio says "we going to sell a million the first day".

Another opinion.
Is just me or since Halo 3 sale more than 3 millions dollars first day every one wants to sell 1 million, 1.5 million etc.
Seriously before every one waits to make 3 to 5 millions in total sells and says it was very good.
Halo turn all this game developers greedy, look every one running to western studios to make more American appealing games. This is madness!

Sure they can, I mean Halo 3 sell 3.3 million the first day and is only in Xbox 360.
Why MGS4 can not sell 1 million?
If they have a advertising team as good as Microsoft I don`t see why not.
Seriously my dear friends, Mario, the great mario! only 500k first day. And he is a favorite, is Wii, is Nintendo, had great ads.
MGS4 can sell 1 million if they pay as much as Microsoft pay for the Halo 3 Ads. Is too much money!
You have to be Bill Gates.

In the words of the famous Simpson reporters on Krusty`s retirement press conference:
Why now Krusty why not 10 years ago?

okay you are right this and smash but I suck in smash, men! Is sad for me I use to be so good in fighting games I use to beat up every one in Marvel VS Capcom.
