That's totally acceptable; I've never even played Peace Walker and it may very well be better than MGS4 for all I know.
What I find inexcusable is that they purposely only included one game per series, and while I realize that this was mentioned as part of the criteria for their list, the purpose is to list the best games of the generation. This principle omits several great games in favor of variety, which to me fails at being a true top 100.
For example, Bioshock is my favorite game this gen. Bioshock 2, while pretty good, is not even close to the original. There's a massive slew of games I'd recommend that someone check out before Bioshock 2, despite that the original would be my top game; hence why my personal top 100 probably wouldn't even include the sequel. In other words, it speaks volumes that I would include one and not the other, just as it speaks volumes that I would include both Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2; they are both deserving of being on the list.
The fact that it's a list by a major site like IGN and that they would limit it in this way just doesn't sit well with me personally.
