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

We're living in a different gaming generation.

Racing games sales have staggered in America. GT4 probably did half of what GT3 did with double the user base. GT5 prologue sort of failed in America. Other racing games didn't fare much better. Forza 2 and Motorstorm (and now GT5 prologue with the sixaxis) were bundled to get rid of the huge stock.

Today's most popular genre is first person shooter (and third person shooters), which none of the big 3 playstation franchise are. FF, GT, and MGS won't have as big of an impact as it had with the PS2. In Japan, people moved on to portables.

 

Yes that is why MGS4 sold near 500,000 units in one week in Japan and GT 5 Prolouge sold more than GT4 Prolouge. It doesnt matter if it was bundled, it still sold about 500,000 units more and the bundle is dead, not to mention, it is still selling.

Correction MGS4 sold 300,000.
