It faced some serious competition (Halo 2, GTA: San Andreas, Metroid Prime 2) when it came out. Plus, a lot of people didn't feel it was as mindblowingly innovative, like MGS1 (first game in the new series), MGS2 (most visully impressive PS2 game at the time). It was viewed as "another Metal Gear". Plus, the hype wasn't there. It's a shame, really. I still think it's possibly the best storyline in a game, ever.
