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?

I really dont see the problem.  Assuming a fanbase of 5m for mgs4 that bought a ps3 to play it, what difference does it make if mgs5 sell 5 m on multiple platform.  Some fan just change platform because they had the chance to do so.  That said, mgs 5 sales is better than we thought because digital sales is bigger now compare to mgs4.  Digital sales in US is 15k at the minimum based on the ratings, now add digital sales from japan and europe for every platform and that should tell you that sales are better than we think.
