If GTAIV (and the GTA games typically have twice the sales of MGS games) wasn't able to move consoles, then I don't see why MGS4 would especially considering its been hailed as the number one reason to own a PS3 since its launch.

@ JJSETH, you already own a PS3 though. Big Whoop. This generation in a nutshell has been the epitomy of gamers buying games they never would have generations past for any number of reasons ranging from painfully limited game libraries and a bottlenecking of genres to hype and advertising like we've never seen before.

 GTAIV was a multiplatform game.  MGS4 is exclusive to the PS3.  People do think the game will evntually make it to the 360 but they do not know what they are talking about.

GTAIV didn't move consoles for either system so the point is moot. And regardless the GTA series has always sold double the amount of the MGS4 series. Exclusivity won't change much either, MGS4 more and more becomes another game your typical "Hardcore" gamer can take or leave as the market is saturated with gun toting icons. I know this just sounds like more fanboy dismissal, but with each new game that comes out this generation the less of a necessity MGS4 becomes to console now finally getting some decent games and a demographic as a whole bloated with healthy servings of shooters.
