Ask yourself, what does Konami have to lose?

When they said they might have to take some steps in that article, it basically means we're creating MGS 4 because PS3 didn't sell too much.

If they make it for the 360, they have NOTHING to lose. No Sony fanboy is going to boycott Konami because they want to play MGS 4 so badly. All they get is a userbase that is 3-4 times as big as the PS3 to sell to. So what if it's on 10 discs, getting up and switiching discs isn't that hard to do and won't matter because you're just having fun with the game.

If they don't make it for the 360, you have very little people to sell it to. It won't increase PS3 sales so much as to give all their profits back. Just look at the game, it's BEAUTIFUL. Those graphics come at a price, I'm guessing $40-$50 million(if FF12 cost $35, then this has to cost more). Not every PS3 owner will get it, and there aren't enough PS3 owners.

What does Konami have to lose to put it on the 360? Nothing. On the PS3 only? $$$$$$$$$$$$$, and that's all that matters in business.

Last time I checked MGS 2 was ported to the Xbox and the world didn't come to an end.

I posted pretty much the exact same thing, but it was on a random page of some long post so no one could flame me ;)

Sony could get pissed and refuse to work with them, and sony is konami's biggest customerApocalypse33

You are smart, however right now I think Sony KNOWS that it needs all the games it can get for PS3.

Konami will lose credibility. Much like PS fans lost credibility with Capcom when DMC4 went multiplat.

That would not happen and if it did Sony would fail and they know it.

They may not have nothing to lose, but if u lose your main fanbase, then u will lose alot more money screwing your main fans. Besides even if it was ported over, I still wouldnt wanna have a 5 dvd set since kojima wants to use 50 gb bluray disk, so goodluck with them porting it over and losing more money, lol.

If Microsoft can pay $50 million for downloadable content, Sony better pay up for the biggest game on their system.Not-A-Stalker

Sony does not negotiate with terrorists.

...in other words, they don't buy exclusives.

PS3 is not losing games, its merely sharing them. Big difference. Why pay for a game your still getting anyway?

but MSG doesnt really sell well in the 360 market- thus MSG2- Konami would be better off keeping it on PS3

I don't think they care about credibility. So now what all the fanboys will boycott their games? Like I said, these are great games on a bad console, and people want to play these great games. I don't care if Gears goes on PS3, I won't stop playing it.

I think Xbox fans prefer Syphon Filter to MGS anyway. Do they really want MGS or do they just want to see PS3 lose exclusivity?

First off, lemmings don't have to steal anything, game companies want to make $$$$$$$ so they put it out on the systems that will give them the most return on hteir investment. Secondly, I own a 360, I want to play as many high quality games as possible, I don't care if their ports, first party, whatever. Third, why is it you have such a problem with the game going to 360 if it's still coming out for PS3?

I don't want MGS4 to become Multiplat because most multiplatform games are notorious for sucking on the PS3 horribly.

And I just want you to know that Konami doesn't have the final desicion in if it goes to the 360, they aren't making the game, only publishing it.

Exclusivity is the ideal. Its what every console wants.

But if worse comes to worse PS3 owners will get to play the game no matter if its exclusive or not. Thats better then losing it entirely.

Remember the N64? Lost games. It was a disaster.

Only by Sony fanboys. They won't believe it until Dan Rather interviews Kojima re: exclusitivity & even if that happened, they would say it really wasn't really Kojima, but some bionic twin that Microsoft built

Halo 3

Gears of War 2

Forza 2

Too Human

Mass Effect

Lost Odyssey

Blue Dragon

Banjo Kazooie 3

PGR 4

I have to sell my 360 due to money issues, so the PS3 will be my only system for awhile. I would love to have any of those games on the PS3.

Are you serious? The reason MGS 2 flopped was because it came out on PS2 first and the Xbox didn't have a ton of systems sold at that point.Sorry to say this guys but as much as I love the MGS franchise it is not a systems seller. It never has been.
