It still surprises me that Konami is putting a spin-off of the series on the PS3 and 360 and the spirtual success of the series on the PSP. It doesn't make sense to me considering the current state of the PSP. When was the last time a PSP game held the top position on NPD or Chart Track?
They could have used that game instead to give them a better chance of making significant inroads into the Xbox 360's userbase and take advantage of the success the previous game brought to the PS3. Instead I see a game that Kojima gives the impression that he's unhappy with and being forced to make.
I guess if Konami is happy with MGS4's sales and never want to see the series become a major contender in Western markets similar to games like Call of Duty and Halo then they're on the right track. Maybe Metal Gear Solid: Rising might meet with some success but in my opinion it's an incredible missed opportunity on their part.
