This site is a perfect place for you to learn, because you don't seem to have the feintest idea about demographics, attach ratios, sales trends, personal tastes, and frankly you don't seem to be very aware of the kind of game Metal Gear Solid is.

okay, 7 million people is extremely far fetched, I'll admit. I know MGS is an acquired taste. Many people do not have that taste. But even 5 million would be respectable. I know it's not happening. I know nothing could have made it happen. I'm just saying that more people deserve to play this game.

More people "deserve" to play a lot of games. So what? Why even make such born yesterday questions if you're aware of how far fetched they are? This is a sales site, not gamespot. We have tools at our disposal here that make sure we never have to ask such simple to answer questions so we can delve into the tougher material. Spend a day in the Sales Discussion to get educated on this, because your entire mindset on this is so extremely naive that I'm questioning whether the whole topic is satire.

MGS isnt really one of the block-busters like Halo or GT. They are always reviewed favorably, and have sales which make them a hit and ensure the economic feasibility of coming up with the next MGS. MGS4 is no different, so why the surprise?
A bigger surprise for me are the sales of SMG. It didnt show the legs i was expecting it to have.

"Why do 12 million PS3 owners not have MGS4?"
Because I mostly use my PS3 as a blu-ray Player.
Because I'll enjoy MGS4 later...
Because for now my 360 fulfill my gamings needs.
Don't get me wrong, I love my PS3 (still playing Uncharted, Wipeout HD, Resistance).
MGS 4 is a stealth based shooter game and that appeals to hard core gamers and MGS series fans.
"Why do 12 million PS3 owners not have MGS4?"
MGS4 is the village bicycle, everyone gets a ride.
Tease.

First, let me say I own this game.
Second, it's pretty clear that the dividing line is the story. Some people seem to think it's awesome. Others, like me, think it's ridiculous and terrible.
Many times a bad story isn't such a big deal, but when the story comprises 9+ hours of gameplay, it cannot be ignored.

If I buy a Game I want to play it not watch a movie.
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing
