It will boost sales, but not even close to Brawl levels. Being the 4th game in a series is both a blessing and a curse- a blessing in that it has an excellent reputation, and will probably get many of the people who bought 3 to buy it again, and a curse in that it is a sequel that won't bring it to the masses that did not play the other MGS games. MGS as a series has also sold less with each successive title, and the PS3 is far less popular than the PS2. I expect its end total to end up around that of 3. Bottom line, it is a great series, but not a console pusher. If the PS3 is really pushed by anything, it will be FFXIII in Japan and GT5 elsewhere.
