With the Sony Playstation 3’s dragging in the sales chart, the Japan-based hardware giant was looking for a much-needed boost in sales from the release of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4 this year. Unfortunately, it appears their saving grace may not arrive until early 2008. According to CVG, Konami’s latest financial report placed MGS4 at the end of the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 2008. How Sony will fare in the meantime if this is indeed the time we can expect to play Hideo Kojima’s highly-anticipated title, we will have to wait and see.
