Well Metal Gear Solid 3 launched at 221,024 units on week 1 of its release and 2 weeks before that, halo 2 launched at 2.6 million units.

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.

I think you're underestimating MGS.  It's actually on par with Halo if not bigger -

MGS (PSX) - 6 million +

 Halo - 5 million +

MGS2 - 7 million + (8 million + including Substance)

 Halo 2 - 8 million +

MGS3 I think should be compared to Halo wars, since it's a prequel.

 MGS4 vs. Halo 3 is on.
