Sony won't allow them to do it and no company is going to intentionally kill their titles profitability by doing that.

i dont understand what your trying to say MGS4 is at 50GB so what is your claim

Sony is not going to allow a company to make a game that only works on a few consoles and no company is going to make a game that is only going to work on a portion of an ALREADY miniscule installed user base.

he is talking about the discs mike.. I sure hope you know that every ps3 has a blu-ray drive.

but to be honest  i'm not sure about what wabbits asking..

Are you asking if more games will use 50gb discs in the future ?.. because yeah off course.. escpecially exclusives.. and maybe a couple of multi plat games that tender to each consoles strenght.. (think oblivion like)

I'm fully aware every PS3 has a Blu Ray. I happen to have one. I have no idea if there are special PS3's with special players that run certain discs.

Heck, PS3 is going to have enough problems keeping MGS4 exclusive. Konami is going to have a hard time making their investment back on the title.

WHAT? (how can i say this with out u snitching on me?) thats highly uneducated of you, to my understanding Blu-Ray works on ALL SYSTEMS and there are plenty of non signed development teams making games for PS3 "EXCLUSIVE" and i kind of know now your only here to start trouble

Seeing as how the other consoles use 9GB discs, you, apparently, are the one with no idea what you're talking about.

At this moment in time for a game to fill up an entire blue ray disk will take a lot to do.  Yes it could be done but that would be a lot of information 50GB is more than what some people have for hard drives in their PC.  The only way I think the PS3 could not have a blue ray player is if someone went and modified it, otherwise all of the consoles ship with the standard blue ray player.

Anad can we please for the love of everything sacred and holy keep MGS4 exclusivity debates out of this.  Its already been done to death, buried, dug up again, grave robbed, then thrown back in the hole. 

Kojima has said, 25GB wasn't enough, that he wanted 50GB discs, but he didn't tell how big was the game or what was taking so much space.

If they want to do put it on the 360, they can always stip and downgrade stuff to make it fit.

And they can only use 7.5 GB of that. 

They only need to use that much.

If they hope to not lose their shirts on the game, multiplatform is going to end up being their only alternative.

I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing, they are a business after all and I'm pretty sure they have their analysts, consultants, etc.

Telchar, let's try and be logical here.

There is not a large installed user base. That is reality. This game is going to cost a ton to make and they'll spend a ton to market it.

Unless Sony is giving Konami a TON of money, there is no profitability here.

Sony has probably had talks with them.  Even the person behind the making of this game said they are making it geared towards the ps3 because they want the movie theater experience.  Now is there the possibility even with this said that it could be a timed exclusive or even mentioned as a multiport, yes there always is a chance even thought its miniscule.  But for the moment it is a PS3 exclusive and as a business I'm sure they have lots of highly paid people giving advice

And how much of MGS userbase has gone to the 360? How many have even switched gens? Most of the PS3 userbase is due to this game, thats why Konami is not trying to port it.
