Why Konami won't put it's flagship franchise on a Microsoft Console.

First let's look at all the work Konami has done for Microsoft's consoles compared to Sony's

ALL 360 Konami titles

Rumble Roses XX - FAILED
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - Multiplatform
Bomberman: Act Zero - FAILED
Dance Dance Revolution Universe - Arcade Port
Hellboy - Multiplatform
Pro Yayku Spirits - Japan Only
Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 - Multiplatform
Silent Hill V - Mulitplatform
Pro Evolution Soccer 7 / PES 2008 - Multiplatform

Live Arcade Stuff

All ports and cheap remakes... Literally!

SOME PSP Konami Titles

MGS: Portable Ops - Exclusive
MGS: Portable Ops Plus - Exculsive
Metal Gear Ac!d - Exclusive
Metal Gear Ac!d 2 - Exclusive
Silent Hill 0rigins - Exclusive
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles - Exclusive revamped (pun?) remake with extras like SotN and the original Rondo of Blood on the disc.
Gradius Portable - Exclusive enhanced remix of previous games into one package.
Coded Arms - New Exclusive IP

SOME PS3 Konami Titles

MGS4 - EXCLUSIVE
Gradius VI - Exclusive
Coded Arms Assault - Exclusive
Konami PS3 Action Project (untitled) - Exclusive
Konami PS3 RPG (untitled) - Exclusive

So after looking at this we see a trend. But you might say, "But teh MGS series went multiplat!" I would ask you this. How long did it take for them to go mulitplatform? Regarding Substance on XBOX, We still got it first and ended up getting all that the XBOX got and more on PS2, with a better framerate and better sound.

So we have a few reasons now as to why MGS4 stays on Sony's ship.

1-Konami has strong ties with Sony.
2-Sony is a local company to Konami (japan).
3-Because MGS3 totally went multiplatform now didn't it?
4-Same with Ac!d and MGS:PO. What about the Zone of the Enders series? (not counting the GBA strategy game LOL)

because sony paid to get MGS exclusive/timed exclusive perhaps

Sony & Konami are like really tight, you get me :D

Konami is a loyal games company and they are aware that the Playtation platform has been very good to them for the past decade.

Dance Dance is Konami's biggest franchise and they have already put out two exclusive titles in the series for 360.

Just like DMC4, another fanboy dev whos putting their flagship title on 360;)WuTangG

STOP :cry:

Konami is afraid of making too much money off of MGS4. That is the only reason I can see. It will sell probably 2 million or so copies on the PS3 if they are lucky. If it was multiplatform they would probably sell 2-3 times that many. But the money and success scares them. Also, they seem to be putting really crappy titles out for the 360. That is why they don't sell.fanboy999

theres no guarantee they make more money. it could be a fail in the long run. for example vf5 went to the 360 a couple of months after the p3 version and that was a fail.

Like I said. Both are Arcade ports. All the songs on those games can be found in arcades.

Loyalty+ an empty wallet - an empty wallet

I'm quite sure just like the Sony fanboys in this forum, they thought the PS3 would be selling a lot better than it is.

I'm sure they thought it would have a bigger software attach rate than it does.

And i'm sure they didn't thinking MGS4 would cost so much to make.

.....and again, Sony is not the market leader anymore. ;)

Meh Square were exclusively with Nintendo only for years, then went to Playstation. The guy who made Resident Evil 4 said he'd cut off his headif itwent to PS2, it did anyway. Anything can happen.

Wait didn't MGS2 (the best of the series imo) get ported to both Gamecube and Xbox last gen?

MGS 4 on 360 is only a pipedream from the lemmings :wink:

well, may be at least not after 6 months the PS 3 version is released if that gives lemmings any hope.

Metal gear solid 2 on the xbox FLOPED

You do realise even 800k in sales is a success? Either way, it came out in 2003, when XBOX userbase was around 10mil, and even then, this was an old game rereleased later when NOBODY cared. If you didnt know, it bombed harder on PS2 and PC;)

what makes you think MGS4 won't make money on PS3 let me guess its not on teh 360 :lol:

its because konami simply doesn't understand that japan isn't the be all end all gaming universe; they are very much stuck in their old, introverted ways. if it wasn't for ddr konami would've died in this worldwide scene by now. mgs series isn't enough to sustain a major publishing company the way konami stands now.Big_T-Mac

Pro Evolution Soccer too. I know Americans prob don't care cos it's soccer but it sells tons.

Swift_Boss_A

That game has to sell 1 million copies on day 1 for them to recoup cost.

No MGS games has ever done that.
