i dont know if it's old but anyway it's scary

An employee at Microsoft Germany recently wrote an interesting blog post citing personal aims to acquire two more third-party franchises: Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid.

Doesnt anyone even READ? MGS4 is rumored to take almost the full 50gig dual layer disc.. what is MS going to do? release MGS4 on a 5 disc set and that you have to swap the disk everytime you load a level? that or cut out alot of content..

The story is kinda over blown. It's like one MS employee in Germany has that on his blog or something. It's like what he's hoping for. I can totally see those games going to the 360, but it's not like MS has announced officially they are going after them.

I can't imagine MGS and FFXIII in 360. I think Sony would give a fight for those games.

lol... uh... is Microsoft a little unsecure about it's Xbox360 sucess so it's aiming to take some exclusives away from Sony? imo I think the 360 is doing well with the sales and their Halo and Gears franchise. Then again it's the devloper's decision to either make their game go multiplatform and such.

It's not like he has anything to say at Microsoft. It's really sad that every idiot on the internets has a blog recently. I might write a blog about that... :roll:

MS has endless money and will get these exclusives regardless of if their system really NEEDS the games any way. So lame.

I don't think Kojima will release it for the Xbox 360. Kojima is getting funded by Sony for MGS4, and Kojima probably won't want to waste time with ports, since he's really interested in Wii as he's expressed. I highly doubt Square Enix would do the same, I think it's vital the PS3 be a success in their eyes, because they don't want to make a game for the Wii with the main story in the FF series-- game developers for most of the big name franchises would like to move ahead with hardware. The PS3 is actually doing a lot better than the Xbox 360 right now in Japan, and I am it would only cost more money for Square Enix to port it for the Xbox 360, and with a very small base of Xbox 360 users in Japan, it could be a big loss for the company. I think Square Enix will wait out until the year is over, and reevaluate the situation, because when the PS3 launches in EU you could easily see between 3 million PS3s in homes by early April. And really that's not bad at all.

Heres a 'what if' from me: MGS4 online on xbox live .... @_@ -trashtalkersnation- (Nostolgic moment with Halo2)

One of the reasons why it's better if it stays on the PS3.
