MGS games are much bigger in the west than in Japan, so expecting MGS4 to turn around is pure folly. The last real bullet in the chamber for the PS3's chances in Japan is FFXIII and you have to get the feeling that Square Enix is holding the game back waiting for the PS3's user base to become larger in Japan. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes to Japan the PS3 is done. Its userbase in Japan will hit 6 or 7 million life time at best.

Well in that case we will be waiting for the ps3 userbase to get bigger forever lol

 Obieslut its the same circular logic that third parties always use. For the most part hardware will not sell without software. Yet third parties often say, we won't release x game on x console because the userbase isn't large enough. Well if you don't make games for the console the userbase won't expand. The Wii and the DS are two recent exceptions to the rule as they sold immensely in spite of third party apathy.
