Sigh, don't you see why MGS4 won't touch the 360?

It's quite basic.

Apple.

MGS4 features the ipod, imac etc. Apple woulda payed a crappaload for their products to feature in MGS. Like James Bond - all electronics products in those movies are Sony products.

Microsoft is not going to use a game which uses products of their arch-nemesis. It's not like they can just throw off any Apple logo and write:

"Vista... :D"

MS owns shares in Apple. And it's not as if Sony doesn't make MP3 players also, they also compete directly against Apple, and it didn't matter for them. And if you hadn't realised there is Apple Ipod support for the 360.

Thread dismissed.

I think thats more of a minor detail. Theres bigger reasons why it may never come to 360.

Somehow I doubt this is the massive issue you make it out to be. Software is Microsoft's bread and butter, and for things like Microsoft Office they make MAC versions.

Yet somehow your convinced Microsoft will never allow MGS4 on their console since it sports an iPod advertisement. Somehow I can't see Microsoft prioritizing the Zune over their software market.

The company was about to go bankrupt, which would have caused MS to face anti-trust, so, MS bought a bunch of shares to save Apple, not illegal, ironically, if they hadn't bought shares, they would have faced massive civil penalties.

Yeah, this all happened before the iMac line came out and made the company a legitimate contender again (iMac, iPhone, iPod, iMover, iShave, iPee, iOuthouse) that whole line.

I dont see why they put the apple ipod in the game.

If they want in game ads why didn't they make it so to talk to otacon and others you use a sony erricson, or a walkman mp3 player?

It won't be on the 360 because the 360 sucks in comparison to the PS3 when it comes to hardware.

lets just say, if it did ever go on 360 it would be on more than 1 disc, lowered visual and sound qualtiy due to disc size, im pretty sure 360 could have no problem playin it, im not sure, but it wudnt look as good as the ps3 version,

Probably since Kojima already stated that MGS4 uses Cell and the PS3 to almost to the max. So xbox360 might have a hard time in some cases.

The fact that sony most likely payed big $$ to keep it exclusive, plus the fact Konami already met the sales expectations of over 1 million on day 1. And then it would still be around 4 discs if it was ported. And if you havent watched The Bonus Round on GT at the end the guy explains why its not 100% not going to the 360.

It will never touch the 360 for the same reason gears and halo will never touch ps3, ms fanboys need to get over it, there's 360 gmes I want and I've accepted if I ever want to play them I need to get a 360, you lemmings need to snap back to reality, it doesn't matter how much money they'll get, think if gears or halo came to ps3 it won't sell?It would sell like a 100 million more than it already has racked up...
