You may want to check your facts on MGS2. I wouldn't call the Wiki a good source for sales information.
From vgchartz: 5.56 MGS2 0.16 Substance PS2 = 5.72 million
You also might want to note, that MGS3 (an arguably superior game) sold
3.96 MGS3 0.15 Subsistance = a 4.11 million
That tells me that about 1.75 million people somewhat regretted buying MGS2 (I'd say they are ignorant, but that's not what this post is about) and chose not to add a better follow-up title to their collection.
Considering the install base of PS3 is so weak (you really predict 10 million by March 08? not with GTAIV delayed it won't) there is no way this title will eclipse 5 million in its shelf life. You'll be trading PS4 futures by the time it reaches this plateau.
