MGS3 didn't struggle because it was a prequel but because 2 had such a nonsensical story that it alienated a good chunk of their user base. Oh, and there were plenty of other good titles on the market at that point.

Its a fact that a prequel never sells as well as a sequel. Look at DMC sales. And MGS 3 had absolutely nothing to do with MGS storyline. The game was actually a prequel to Metal Gears 1 and 2 on the MSX.
