Typical 360 fanboy. Why don't you ask that qustion to every developer who put their game as an exclusive on the 360. Even Valve are starting to rethink their stategy now.

What, its common sense, more platforms = more money:?

Maybe because he doesnt want to sacrafice his artistic vision just for a few more yen? :?

How about I answer your question with anothe question: Why didnt Square make FFVII for the N64?

Because N64 would never have been able to accomadate for the game, geez, is 'teh cell' that powerful:roll:

It's the same concept as Rage looking worse on the 360. There's a point where too many DVDs is just not cost effective to produce. MGS4 is a complete Blu-ray disc's worth of data. That would translate to way too many discs for them to make any money off of it.

Much of the info is repeated data and uncompressed audio, it would easily fit on two if not one DVD

there is no guarantee that it will make money on the 360. first it will cost money to port it that means getting rid of all the sony and apple things out it. them ms willl charge for the extra disks. yeah they do that. plus a year from now lems could be playing a exclusive that overshadows mgs4. that mean konami will lose money because no one bought the game. the same thing happen to vf5 i believe. just because you port a game to another system it doesn't mean you'll make money. thats the reason se is holding the ps3 version of ff13 untill the 360 version is done. if the pps3 goes first a year later no one will buy the 360 version. this isn't fact but why else would they the ps3 version

Considering just about every game has sold better on the 360 than the PS3, why assume it wouldnt sell?

VF5 came out MONTHS later, and its a very hardcore game that had little promotion. It was destined to flop, but even then, it sold a similar amount on both consoles in NA and EU

wow change your tune much?? I remember you saying you gave metal gear solid 4 a 10 out of 10
I'm tired of it, too. I honestly don't know why lems want the game so bad. I've played it from beginning to end and didn't like it one bit. I guess that's just my personal opinion, but I've liked a lot of other games on PS3, 360, PC, and Wii more than MGS4.BioShockOwnz

Didnt konami report that they shipped 3.94 million copies to retailers which means sold to them, so what makes lemmings think they actually need to port it? it is the best game on ps3 at the moment by along shot so it will consistantly keep selling 50-80 thousand copies worldwide weekly until it eventually hits the 5 million mark.

When people buy a ps3 metal gear solid 4 is obviously one of the first games people think about getting and it will be for some time

Metal Gear Solid 4: will be a PS3 exclusive, because it did its job and made enough money. He could port it, but he probably doesn't want to.

Zone of the Enders 3 will be a multiplat. I would bet on that.

hayato_

Bingo. And he's said this many times. Why are we still talking about this game?

More Money = Never a bad thing

This is a corporation we are talking about, game publishers are always limp, even EA, their profit margins are non-existent, almost all of them are always limp

He said that he himself is a businessman and has to consider what will and won't sell.

The decision ultimately isnt his, Konami can easily assign another team, its not like they need much creative input for a port

The only reason anyone wanted MGS4 on 360 was just to dish out ownage. Most core 360 gamers realize that MGS is over rated and would actully rather play a game as opposed to watch it.

Quick summation:

Kojima - "Why is everyone not always talking about my game???"

The man is obviously insane with a god complex.

You would think haters would move on, I guess not.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's not worth it to them to port it, who knows.

It would be silly to port it to the 360. MGS4 was meant for the PS3.

Nothing else.

I like your new avatar! From part 1 right?

Can't decide if it's from kitchen or at the very end when it pokes it's head for the clear wrap stuff...
