MGS 1-3 all sold 800k+ in Japan, not including Substance, Subsitence, etc. How is that not big?

They didn't (check out the game database). They sold a fair share of units, but MGS is certainly not a series which can save a console in Japan.

 

I did check out th game database. Out of the 3, MGS sold the least, at 798k units.

Edit: I meant 780k units. MGS 2 and 3 sold 850k and 860k respectively.

So, in lifetime sales, the games didn´t reach > 1 million, if by any change, no MGS lover has bought a PS3, we can only expect 800k games + 800k PS3 lifetime in Japan, just for this game... right???

What? If no MGS lovers bought a ps3, then wouldn't a few hundred thousand be buying one when the game comes out? Or are you asking something different.

Also, if you include MGS2: Substance and MGS3: Subsistence, both games hit the 1 mil. mark.
