Last time I checked, MGS4 and FF13 have different creators, so just because FF13 was generously given to the 360, it does not mean that every exclusive popular game on the PS3 has a chance of being "ported" to the 360. People need to stop saying "well look at FF13 it was exclusive to the ps3 and look at it now", while that may be true, the creators/developers are completely different, so stop comparing the two. I personally don't think this game can even BE put on the 360, was there not an interview already where they explained why it can't? Something about Blu-ray.

Well lets just explore the question for a moment shall we...

1. When you load the game it says "This game is meant for Exclusive use for the Playstation 3 System"
2. Snake holds a Dualshock 3 in the game.
3. Sunny plays with a PSP in the game.
4. There are Apple computers/laptops and iPods advertised heavily in the game.
5. There are Sony phones in the game.
6. There is codec about the advantages about BluRay.
7. Sony have said constantly this is exclusive, they emphasised it again this E3. After losing FF13 I assume they're keeping this one.
8. Kojima has emphasised again and again this is exclusive to the PS3.
9. Sony helped with the development of the game. (Watch the BluRay documentary)

Yes, there is a lot there that says this game is an exclusive. It looks to me like the game has gone out of its way just to prove that its exclusive. There is a miniscule chance that it could port to the 360, but lets face it, its HIGHLY unlikely.

Very persuasive indeed though much of that, for a price is easily changed to play the jokes 180. Pun intended. ;)

Which begs the question.

What rational reason keeps Konami from Cashing In on millions in pure profits to be had by also making the game available for PC/360 ?

Honestly.

Its not just the price, which would be high but also time and effort, and who's to say it would pay off considering MGS always dominates sales on Sony platforms. As for your question, it could be asked to any company which makes exclusive games. This might sound shocking, but perhaps some developers dont just make games for sheer sales, perhaps they make them to satisfy their fanbase and make a quality title instead of a multiplat piece of rubbish.

[QUOTE="club-sandwich"]this topic is soannoying.... ugh... no MGS4 for X360, stop these threads now.nervmeister
Let's face it. The only time these these threads will stop is when this gen ends. So we're just going to have to bear with it until then.

Hopefully if by the end of 2009 MGS4 doesn't get ported to the 360 Lemmings will wise up about it but yeah expect to see thread about this game and FF XIII Vs. on the 360 for at least a year longer. It's a shame really.

Hmm, so are you saying the devs like Epic who won't make Gears 1 & 2 for PS3 do it b/c MS pays them millions or B/C they don't want to make a mess like the muliplat 10/10 GTA4 ?

Edit: After reading that I feel I must say: you seem like a very rational and well spoken, good player here and I don't want to come off too sarcastic so I'm just saying, the money seems to drive most everything and to me I have yet to see where Sony has paid the Bucks to keep this their own. :)

I think it will. It would make even more sense for them to put MGS4 on the 360 than when they put MGS2 on the Xbox.TheDarkDisciple

I would hope so, MGS2 did terrible on the xbox

Wasn't faulting yor comment at all, in fact thought it very reasonable as these dev's may have got into game making for the fun of it but later it's all about ching and nobody can deny atm, the 360 software sales Bring It ! :)

Funny thing, I was at Gamestop the other day. I overheard the clerk tell a customer, "No, Metal Gear Solid will NEVER appear on the Xbox because it is owned by Sony." I quickly corrected him and said it was owned by Konami. He then said, "Just like you will never see Mario on the Xbox you won't see Snake on the 360." I looked around and found a "Sonic and Mario at the Olympics". I showed it to the guy and said, "I remember when Sonic was only on Sega and would NEVER be on another system."
