Why do 12 million PS3 owners not have MGS4?

What is it that keeps you from buying MGS4? The trailer looks incredible, it has a Gamespot and IGN 10/10, an IGN UK 9.9/10 and an IGN AU 9.5/10, a metascore of 94 and ONLINE!

It's somewhat creepy that more PS3 owners currently own an average racer (MotorStorm) than one of the best games of this gen (MGS4)

I'm not expecting everybody with a PS3 to own it, but is half the audience really that far fetched? 7 million people?

So again, for people who don't own it, what keeps you from buying MGS4?

 

First, let me say I own this game.

Second, it's pretty clear that the dividing line is the story. Some people seem to think it's awesome. Others, like me, think it's ridiculous and terrible.

Many times a bad story isn't such a big deal, but when the story comprises 9+ hours of gameplay, it cannot be ignored.
