Surely MGS4 to 360 would be a poor marketing idea.

Because all the lemmings have already vocalised that they thing MGS4 is a horrific, overrated game -- and that they would NEVER buy a giant cut-scene (that's all it is right?)

If Kojima did want to port MGS4 to the 360, they surely haven't done their market research, because naturally, NONE of the Lemms would buy it.

"Because all the lemmings"

That's the biggest mistake with your post. A few fanboys do not speak for all of the "Lemmings".

lol, how many % of 360 players do you think are represented here on SW. Despite what lemmings here say about MGS4, 360 players else where will eat the game up, at least just to see what the fuss is about.

nice try btw.

No, but MGS4 has no reason to be multiplat. A new MGS game on 360 however would make more sense.

Because all the sheep have already vocalised that they thing Bioshock is a horrific, overrated game -- and that they would NEVER buy a giant cut-scene (that's all it is right?)

If 2K Games did want to port Bioshock to the PS3, they surely haven't done their market research, because naturally, NONE of the Sheep would buy it.

Other than the cut scene comment you can simply swap out a few words and see how another game moving from one system to another turned out...pretty much anyone who goes over the top here is completely irrational/emotional and should be taken with a grain of salt...

Hmm, since it is generally considered that a million copies sold equals a profitable game, and since porting a completed game would require a LOT less money than originally developing the game, if they sold it to 1 out of every 20 360 users(giving you 95% of "all lemmings" wouldn't touch the game) it would make them money. Thread failed.

Given how much Microsoft would market it, and all the 360 owners who do want MGS4 on the 360, I think Konami could make a killing with it, if they ported it at the right time.

They will have to switch a lot of stuff in the game. Such as, snakes little robot guy is controlled with a DS3. There are so many flashbacks showing the ps1 and ps2. Plus he makes light of having to swtich disks in the middle of the game. They say PS3 many times in the game. I doubt M$ would want any of that on their system. Almost like an insult. Talking about the ps3 and saying how good it is on an xbox game. But anyway there would need to be some changes made to the game to adapt to the xbox.

I own a 360, but MGS4 is still amazing and one of the best singleplayer games ever made. Only blind fanboys or people who disslike stealth games hate on MGS4, its a wonderful game. Definatly one of my all time fav series! Playing MGS1 the night it came out was one of my fav nights of gaming ever!

Seen as there are more 360s out there than ps3s i would think it would sell more on the 360. Double your sales = no brainer for konami. (cant see it happening tbh)

Im a lemming but i sure as hell would love me some mgs4 on the 360. Just like cows who bash gears, they would really love it on their console!

360 fanbase =/= Xbox fanbase.

MGS4 =/= MGS2

I'm betting it would sell pretty well.

Your first major flaw is to think that all 360 owners are lemmings. Your second major flaw is thinking that all the 360 owners on SW represent all the 360 owners in the world.

Had nothing at all to do with being the singular WORST port ever to the xbox last gen by far did it? Also, the 360 likely has a fair share of fans who played 2 and 3 on the PS2 last gen. I know you're a fanboy, but stop acting as if these generations are the same.

looking at the mgs2 on the xbox more carefully would reveal that the game wasn't marketed and the controls sucked two shoulder buttons is a no no for the mgs series

LOL yeah, i guess the maybe 100 or so lemmings who roam system wars are very important to konami. If they dont buy it, the game is sure to fail. I mean how could a game possibly succeed when there are at least 100 people in this world not prepared to buy it!? Crazy!

See, here's the problem with your post.

The opinions of a few fanboys in System Wars does not account for the feelings of the entire Xbox 360 owning community. Owning an Xbox 360 doesn't automatically make you a lemming in the same way that owning a PS3 doesn't mean you're a cow.

Exactly. And the tired old "a lot of the PS2 userbase moved on to Xbox 360" argument doesn't work here either, because MGS4's sales prove that the MGS fanbase stayed with PS3. MGS4 on Xbox 360 would be a repeat of MGS2 on Xbox in terms of success.

It's great that you believe that. Now will you turn around and tell all those lemmings that after their constant bashing of KZ2 because KZ was a flop?

Exactly. And the tired old "a lot of the PS2 userbase moved on to Xbox 360" argument doesn't work here either, because MGS4's sales prove that the MGS fanbase stayed with PS3.

Really? I mean, it's not like MGS4 was hyped as the PS3's savior.... Y'know, it's not like Konami re-released the ENTIRE SERIES in a box set before MGS4 came out or anything... Point being: Many if not most of the Americans who played and loved MGS4 had no experience with the series up until MGS4 became a huge hype train/ The PS3's messiah. By the way, I'm one of those guys who moved from PS2 to 360. I know more people who did that than people who've played more than two MGS games. Don't suggest that MGS4 sold well because all of the hardcore MGS fans followed it.
