Important to notice is although that a lot of gamers are just buying the most popular console, consoles from different manufacturers also have different characters.
I mean that it is not sure that a game that does extremely well on a Sony console will do the same numbers on a Nintendo console with the same install base and the other way around. I think this is part of the reason why the numbers for RE went down a little, it is a series established on a Sony console and not too close to other games on the Cube in terms of Gameplay. I think this is why it sold less in relation to other titles on the Cube and compared to its popularity on the PS.
But MGS and FF are both franchises that are closely related to the PS brand and they meet the taste of Sony fans. Therefore, the fanbase for the new games will be big and the attach rate will be high too. Of course the games won't sell as much as they did on the PS2 simply due to smaller install base, but the franchises won't go down in popularity.
If it would be the case, Mario, Zelda or other Nintendo franchises wouldn't be as popular as they are anymore.
