I guess Metal Gear will stay PS2 exclusive no longer...

There also is spoused to be some announcement of Metal Gear: Sons of Liberty coming to the Xbox at E3.

Metal Gear Solid X???

Coming out, just as predicted... the only thing is, it's not exclusive.... well, it's exlusively NOT on gamecube, but other than that, it's not exlusive :p

Well, Justin and I posted this at the exact same time.

So here is the first merged topic of the Xbox forum, looks quite interesting.

I wonder why it's not going to be made for the GC... ::shrugs::

because mature games don't sell well on Nintendo systems...

:-o

That is a fact. Look at CBFD.

I don't doubt that it's a fact, but CBFD is a bad example. That game came at the end of the N64s life. If it had come 2 years earlier the sales would have been much better.

Well yes, but it's one of the few mature games for the Nintendo 64, so it's one of the few examples that was can use. Obviously CBFD didn't sell all that great.

Although to be fair I do believe Perfect Dark sold well. That was a Mature game right?

Actually I'm pretty sure PD didn't sell very good either... Just not as bad as conker... which was actually considered a flop...

Edit: Nevermind I checked it sold well

Yes, Perfect Dark sold well (it was rated "M" for blood, and gore althought there was swearing in the game too). Not as well as GoldenEye, but it sold over one million. It's not that Mature titles don't sell well on Nintendo systems, it's just that there weren't/aren't that many AAA "M" titles on Nintendo systems. Conker was great, but as was said, it came out too late in the N64's life. Turok (the first one) sold well when it came out early in the N64's life cycle. Let's see how RE and ED do. Until then, stop the fanboyism please...

Oh yes, I am obviously the biggest fanboy here at Game Tavern. Wow, I'm so happy no one else has noticed.

Here we go:
Anyway, I included an Nintendo 64 'M' rated videogame that did sell well and one that didn't, I'm sure there are more, but I don't have time to search for all of them.

I didn't say that. Just this comment "That is a fact. Look at CBFD." shows that A) you're a fanboy that doesn't know what a fact is B) you're a fanboy that's just having fun C) I take things too seriously.

So what is it, A, B, or C?

*I'm guessing you're going to say C*

Ah, you noticed my sig.

I just find it funny that a thread saying how MGS was coming to Xbox turned into how "M" games don't sell well on Nintendo systems. Sure, I know the question was asked why MGS wasn't coming to GC, but again saying "That is a fact. Look at CBFD." holds no truth. You don't see me turing threads in the GC forum into Xbox "bashes."

CBFD did not sell well, that is a fact. As DH added: "... Just not as bad as conker... which was actually considered a flop..." Now I'm not sure if it was considered a flop or not, but I know for a fact that the title did not sell well.

Now from the games I have seen that are rated 'M' on the Nintendo 64 console they have not sold well. That is also a fact.

If we could please get back onto the main topic of this thread, which was the new Metal Gear Solid game coming to the PS2 and Xbox that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I wouldn't bash the GameCube. I own a GameCube, so then I would be bashing an item I own that I spent 200 dollars on. That wouldn't be the smartest move.

You were refering to "M" games on Nintendo systems in general not selling well as a fact, not just Conker. Conker actually sold well in the first month. I don't remember what issue of EGM it was in, but on the top monthly sales chart, it came in at number 10. After that, it just disappeared. As for it being a flop....it's hard to say. Initially no, in the long run yes.

Yes because like I said, there weren't many AAA "M" titles on N64. Perfect Dark was, and like I said, it sold over one million. That's a fact. And remember, Nintendo didn't advertise Conker well. Sure they had commercials on at late night and ads in Maxim, but does a cute looking squirrel appeal to adults? At heart, Conker was supposed to be a kids game, but by just adding blood, gore, crude language and sexual innuendos, it didn't mean it would appeal to adults, or people over 18. Potty humor is great for elementary school kids and immature people, but not for most adults. I throughly enjoyed the game however.

Did you read this... "I just find it funny that a thread saying how MGS was coming to Xbox turned into how "M" games don't sell well on Nintendo systems.

Where did bashing GC come in, we're talking about N64 and "M" titles on N64.

"Sources close to Nintendo have told IGN64 that Rare's M-rated 3D platformer Conker's Bad Fur Day has sold impressively under expectations. The game, which released on March 5, debuted with slightly more than 23,000 units sold -- a laughable unveiling by Nintendo standards -- and quickly dropped off the list. The game's next week saw sales of an additional 13,000 units, with that figure steadily decreasing. In total, BFD has generated sales of less than 55,000, according to company insiders. Worst of all, given the stagnant state of the Nintendo 64 market, Conker's popularity isn't likely to incur a sudden jump."

Just thought I'd post that :D

And also just to add to it (it was in a different story and I don't feel like finding it again), it said that Perfect Dark sold 250,000 in it's first week... and they compared that to Goldeneye which sold 200,000 it's first week... yep...

But anyways... here's the way I see it...

you can't be sure that conker would have sold much better than if it was released earlier (I mean it would have sold better, yes most likely, but like I mean a LOT better)... Buuut conker is still a bad example since yes it was released when N64 was like... dead or... just about dead... So yes we should wait and see how RE and ED do, although those might sell MORE than usual since they're like one of the very few highly anticipated games coming out on NGC anytime soon :D
