eugene has already summed it up perfectly:

Metal Gear Solid is nowhere near as big of a franchise as Internet fans seem to assume. Much like God of War or Metroid Prime, these series get critical acclaim but don't appeal to the mass market. Metal Gear Solid 4 will probably do around 2-3 million sales lifetime; a very strong title, just not even remotely close to Halo numbers.
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
