Why can't MGS, FF, GT sell as much on PS3 as they did on PS2??

Cost, cost, cost.

How much was the PS2 when those games released? Compare that to the price of the PS3 and that's part of your answer. It's a lot easier to drop $150 for one game than it is $400. There's also a lot more doubt surrounding the PS3 than there ever was around the PS2.

 

In the UK the PS2 was £300 when those games were released. Same price as the PS3.

 Yes but in Japan and the US the PS2 was cheaper. The PS2 launched at $299.99 here. The PS3 is still above the PS2's launch price.
