If we had universal consoles we wouldn't have motion control or blu-ray or optic media and no one would attempt to make any great innovations in the hardware space. Not that those examples, besides optic media, are particularly great new things but they are examples of what happens when hardware companies compete. Take that away and they have no incentive to do anything new, or to make first party games.
Also MGS4 sold in line with the rest of the series, so userbase clearly did not affect it. So going multi would not have been a game changer for MGS4. It would have sold similar amounts but with a larger cost to the devs.
Time for hype
