There's been more than enough hints to legitimize the possibility of the 360 taking MGS4 under its fold.

When MGS4 hits the 360, where would that leave the PS3?

PS3 still has a few good exclusives up its sleeve: Uncharted 2, GoW3, GT5, and hopefully Killzone 2

but losing MGS4 will be a hit on the PS3 brand.

Im thinking ouch.

I'm thinking that all the lemmings trying to raise the hype for something not going to happen are going to be laughed at.

In other news... Its sunny today in Australia! "Sunny", isnt Sunny the name of one of the characters from MGS4? And in "Australia"? Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere! "Opposite", well the opposite of the PS3 is the X360, therefore one would have to logically conclude that MGS4 is coming to X360! :o

1- it has to happen first 2- IT will do nothing...MGS 4 did the sales damage it needed to do for Sony....and when it comes to XBOX 360..all that will do is suddenly take that 1 game away that gives the PS3 the leg up in future buyers...but those future buyers were not as big as the initial surge it got from MGS 4 when it relased..and this holiday overall

1. Stop assuming, it has to be CONFIRMED first. 2. It won't hurt anybody except for fanboys. It isn't like a port is releasing tomorrow. PS3 already has great exclusives, and it'll have even better exclusives to add to the library in 2009. Also with the upcoming price cut. Sony has nothing to worry about.

same thing that will always, happen, those games are going to sell loads on the PS3. PS3 getting new games that was already planned for it wont affect 360 games. When the 360 gets a PS3 blockbuster, that'll affect 360 and Ps3 sales.

how do you feel about crying on the sunny side of the southern hemisphere when this comes true. Im just saying that it might be real. After all, ignoring evidence is alot more risky than paying attention to them.

the price cuts were going to happen anyways, but if this happens, and Im saying that the likelihood is increasing. PS3 sales will take a hit. MGS4 going over to 360 = GeOW going over to PS3. Sony will still sell lots but MS will get a huge sales boost from this.

The thing is, there is no evidence. I have no problem discussing evidence but in this case the so called "evidence" is so flimsy that we cant really discuss it. The green power sign is practically used in any device that has LEDs on its power signs. Even the PS3 power sign turns green when turned on. To claim that this is proof of MGS4 coming to X360 is like claiming Gears3 is coming to PS3 because UT3 was on PS3.

The difference is that MGS4 has been out for a long while. The majority of people who were gonna buy a PS3 for MGS4 have already bought it. Sure there is the odd 1 or 2 people who are still on the fence, but MGS4 has practically done its part to move units. If it were to magically come to X360, it really wouldnt affect PS3/X360 sales that much. But if Gears3 were to come out for PS3/X360 on the same day, expect something to happen.

Not really. Example is Bioshock and Eternal Sononta. They both came out on the 360 first like a year before the PS3 version. PS3 versions did not sell as well as when it first came out a year ago. People tend to buy something they really want when it is already available, especially when its been out for so long.

So everyone who wanted to play MGS 4 has already done so and thus will not wait a year or two for it to come to another system.

It anything this is a NEW MGS. It may be multiplat, a 360 exclusive, a PS3 exclusive, a Wii exclusive, etc. No one knows.

PS3 will be in the same place it is now when 360 gets Metal Gear. Although it will be pretty embarrassing for Microsoft to have the the movie on the system especially since they've been trying to expand the Xbox userbase with fun games and casual titles and trying to avoid movies aimed at idiots. The best bit will be that bit in the movie where Otacon is all like "isn't it great to have blu ray and ya don't need to swap discs?" Instead that'd be all "it's it great to have DVD and you dont have to pass out for 5 minutes just to load content from Blu Ray? Instead you can just swap the di-" but he'll never finish the sentence because by then, the disk will be swapped and the cutscenes can continue.

thats a bit thinking in the short term. If MGS4 does get a 360 port, Konami will be opening the flood gate that cant be closed. We know that soo many 360 players will buy MGS4 if it releases. This inflow of revenue will give Konami the taste of being a true multiplatform blockbuster. Usually sony can pay Konami to keep the exclusive. But with Sony's track record and the potential for blockbuster revenue, I dont think Sony can hold Konami back from becoming truely multiplatform with its acclaimed series. So im thinking that the long term consequence of this move will be more far reaching that just boosts in sales.

But how would X360 owners buying MGS4 affect console sales? I dont think MS cares if X360 owners buy MGS4, because they dont make a profit, but they care if people buy an X360 for MGS4. What im saying is, very few people will buy an X360 for MGS4, seeing as how its a niche game and the majority of fans already bought a PS3 for it.
