Metal Gear Solid 4, no need to sell a million on launch: Payton misquoted
On the official Bionic Commando podcast, this week Ryan Payton was a special guest, and has now stated that when it was reported that Metal Gear Solid 4 would need to sell a million on day one to pass a profit he was misquoted by Reuters.
Payton now states that he never said anything of the sort to Reuters, or in fact anyone because it isn’t true, and even if it was, “that’s not something you really talk about in an interview. It’s nothing I’d ever say.” He went on to add, “That million dollar figure is incorrect. I don’t even know how many figures we’d need to sell to be profitable.”
Metal gear Solid 4 will probably do excellently with sales anyway, and will more than likely reach way past the million mark in its lifetime; its due for release in the next few months, although that’s not official.
