Compare the curves, at the same number of weeks after the release, MGS4 is  way ahead of MGS3. ( MGS4 sold more in 5 months than MGS3 in 1 year)..

As for adds-on it's hard to compare them as none has yet been released for MGS4...

 

Curves is not what you said. MGS4 has not outsold MGS3 yet. It sold something like seventeen thousand units worldwide last week. Unless the boost it gets this holiday is absolutely unholy, it will never catch up to MGS3.

Granted, the holiday boost ma in fact be monstrous, and it may pass up mGS3 by 2010, but it has not happened yet, and it may never catch MGS2 or the original at all.

Yes, the series is declining. Slowly, but it is happening.

 

 There is also something called Platinum. And their is also that huge difference between the userbase when MGS3 released and MGS4 released though.
