I personally don't believe that any game is a "system Seller". anyone who spends the kind of money most consoles cost these days for just one game is a fool. With that said any game that you know will sell 3 Million plus copies lifetime is far more than a "niche title". Like Socom, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, and gran taurismo, The MGS series is one of Sony's flagship franchisesIt is important for Sony to get their library of games (especially their traditional Library) kickstarted. There are a mountain of gamers still playing the PS2 out there, and with a reasonably priced Wii out there, there must be a reason they havent gone nezt gen yet. I personally believe they are waiting on one of two things (if not both). One being a cheaper Price point on the PS3. The other being the library of franchises They know and love, plus a few new ones to excite them. So far Sony has managed to sell nearly 13 million consoles without the advantage of price or this library. So yes MGS is kind of a kickstart for sales.
