Why do people keep claiming MGS4 is PS3's saviour?

I keep saying it, good soft sales, small boost on hardware for a limited time (like GTA4)...

 BIG difference.

GTAIV is multiplatform so the increase will be smaller due to the fact that the game is available on multiple systems. 

MGS4 however has potential to do more since it is only on the PS3, meaning people WILL need to buy one in order to play, they can't just pick up a copy for the 360 or PC later on.

 Nope, GTA4 is a multi, but it comes from a line of tittles with great sales, the last one GTA:SA sold at least 4 times the MGS3 numbers (17 millions vs 4 millions)

So if GTA, a bigger game than MGS, could not push the sales for a long time, I'm not expecting to MGS4 do any better...

 

@starcraft nice find out...
