Eh, who really didn't see this happening. It happens with every big title.

Geriatric neck-snapping spy news now, with Konami of Japan announcing a delay in Solid Snake's arrival on the PlayStation 3. The press release coldly increments the previously expected Q1 release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to Q2 2008, sparing little thought as to the taste of bitter tears and follicle-wrenching pain we had to endure whilst reading it. There's some consolation to be found in the assurance that the delay will allow "further improvements to the quality of the game and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide."

Konami further promises that pushing Metal Gear Solid 4 into the April-June arrival window will ensure it "meets everyone's expectations." We certainly hope so, as our expectations have been sitting at the airport with nothing to do for years now but read interviews with Ryan Payton.

Look on the bright side... if its delayed... it will only get better. But I'm really looking forward to this game. It is really the game that makes me want a PS3.
 
Well, I don't really think this will hurt them. Metal Gear isn't really a huge franchise, not very mainstream. I mean, it has a big fan base, but not like Madden, or Ratchet and Clank.

Metal Gear is more in the "Hardcore Gaming" category, at least that's how I see it.

The first Metal Gear sold almost 7 million copies, the second put up similar numbers, and the third sold 4 million. MGS is a huge franchise (especially in Japan), and MGS 4 is the PS3's killer app. Make no mistake, this delay will mean the PS3 will probably fall further behind the 360 and Wii
 
Hines has a point, I mean, 7/10 people I know couldnt tell you who Raiden or Colinel Volgin was. although, Cherries' numbers dont lie
 
I agree it won't make a huge impact. Especially with games like Ratchet and Clank Future, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted out.
 
Now THATS blasphemy. This game will be huge, hardcore or not. Tons of people want to finally figure out how this mind**** of a series will end.
