Does anyone know what type of agreement if any Konami actually has with Sony in regards to MGS4? Is it actual payment or waiver of licensing fees?

Sony doesn't pay for exclusives. They earn them.

Seriously though... I don't.

No cheaper development = more chance of breaking even.

Thats what game devs look for.

Why is everybody talking about how much MGS4 needs to break even? If you invest $70 millions in a game, you expect huge profits from it, atleast double that money, so MGS4 has to sell atleast 8 million copies to satisfy the developer :)

I agree with this. Greater reward is expected with greater risk.
