before you go and quickly jump on MGS4, remember FFXIII is the game that will make japan's decision on the next gen system. 

 

Sony NEEDS Final fantasy badly in japan, i vote final fantasy.

While I have enjoyed MGS, FF has always been my favorite game on the PS(1,2,3)

Edit> I believe the OP is just stating a hypothetical situation, not that it WILL happen....

I really can't decide.  These two games are both too big to lose.

FFXIII because that's a large franchise. They make so many games and MGS4 is the last one I think in that franchise. FF has a long way to go.

I personally would much rather MGS4, but I think Final Fantasy would easily eclipse it in terms of sales.

I'm going to have to go with mgs4 by a long shot. Every mgs game has major changes, that changes the entire game. Though final fantasy games, they change when the game engine changes. Like ff1-6 ,ff7-9 had the same basic combat. X and x2, and 11 and 12. Mgs2 and mgs3 have some things in common, but theres quite some major differences.

I would like them both to stay exclusive, but FFXIII is probably the bigger factor, because it'll drive sales in Japan which will force Japanese developers to make better games for the PS3

I say MGS.

Dragon Quest is actually more popular than Final Fantasy in Japan and Japan loves them some Metal Gear Solid.

MGS is also huge all over the world. so instead of just cashing in with Japan they will earn MGS profits from all over the world. I'm not saying that Final Fantasy does not sell well here in the states, but MGS is just way more of a Main stream title.

I would definatly say, MGS4 all because the graphics are better, longer game play, better handleing, more action, better story, and lots of extras.

MGS is the lower scoring and lower selling franchise, so logic dictates that FF is more important.

I say both, they are both huge titles and i love them both:) they are what im looking forward to the most, but if i had to choose one hmmmmmmmmm ahhhhh i dont know...i guess MGS4 because i LOVE the MGS story and well each FF game has a different story, i gotta get the end of the MGS story:P, but they are both equally amazing and if they lost either of them that would be a MASSIVE hit to Sony, in my opinion at least

MGS4 is hyped more and if PS3 loses MGS4 to multiplatform or timed exclusive the perception of the PS3 would hurt.  Also MGS4 most likely is coming out before FFXIII.  It's better to have negative hype later than sooner.  The Japanese will never buy the 360 in mass quantities even if it had FFXIII exclusively.  The fact that the PS3 outsold 360 in 2 weeks and it would have outsold in one day due to the diode issue, the 360 has no chance.  New 360 games are like $40 in Japan.

Square and Konami need Sony as much as Sony needs them. If you're developing games, you need a console manufacturer to make a piece of hardware with features that appeal to consumers. Sony has done that. The PS3 is selling FASTER than the 360. The PS3 has the hardware capabilities for these games (we know that MGS can NOT be played on a 360). Sony is providing the technology that high-end innovative developers want. Microsoft isn't. Believe me, IF the 360 could play MGS4, it would be multi-platform. No developer is going to ignore 10 million xbox gamers if they can help it.
