It came out much later and didn't sell very well. Not much ownage in that.sonicare
Technical disaster was what I'd call that conversion. The point I think OP is making (if not I guess I am) is that MGS2 was so specifically designed for PS2 that when converting it Konami didn't put in the resources to really make the game work of Xbox. Who's to say that couldn't happen again?
I had that game... it wasn't my kind of game. None of the MGS games appeal to me. Fixed camera angle, everything was so klunky. It was also screaming out "japaneessee!" Bah, I know it's a series favoured to most gamers, but it's not my style. I'd rather play Splinter Cell. ;)
It still sold though...just not as much as the PS2 version. In it's defense though, the game did come out over a year after it came out on the PS2. Kind of late if you ask me.
Cows fail to realize that most xbox owners had a PS2 and had already played the game. The same is not true this gen. Ace combat: check. DMC4: check. FF: almost check. MGS4: anyday now, but when it happens... checkmate!

[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]no xbox owners bought it. its the same thing thats gonna happen with dmc4.Sonick54
Wait, so people will buy a 600$ console to play it opposed to a less expensive console? i never said dmc4 will sell any consoles. its main fanbase is in japan. there are more ps3s sold in japan than 360s ( http://www.vgcharts.org/?Wii=4.24 ). dmc4 just isnt tailored to the mainly american 360 audience. with a larger fanbase in the major dmc demographic, its going to sell more on ps3.
