How on earth did MGS4 almost sell as much as MGSV considering 4 was only on one console and 4 had less time in June than MGSV had in September...Even not factoring in that MGSV is vastly superior...

Because the fanbase hasnt increased.  If its exclusive, they would buy the console to play it, if its not exclusive, they just buy the game on their preferred console. 

Would that not just affect the hardware sales though? Given the actual userbase(PC, PS3, Xbox360, X1 and PS4) would total a much greater quantity than just the PS3 alone in June of 2008, surely the rave reviews and promotion should have attracted buyers?
