According to XboxFamily, MGS4 will be coming to the Xbox 360 within 12 to 14 months after the PS3 version hits retail this spring. The information comes from a Konami representative while speaking at an undisclosed distribution meeting, says XboxFamily.

"No, the rep will not be named, but this is pretty concrete," reports the fansite. "This is not a rumor."

Microsoft then provided a long-winded response to XboxFamily on leaking rumors and announcements before ending with "no comment."

In November, Konami's Ryan Payton told Reuters, "if you want to play Metal Gear Solid 4, you have to buy a PS3."

Though unconfirmed, the rumor makes sense. In 2005, Capcom released Resident Evil 4 on PS2, a year after the once-exclusive GameCube game hit stores, as Nintendo failed to sell a satisfactory number of consoles. Similarly, Sony has so far been unable to meet sales expectations of the PS3.

I think this is all great news for everybody who wanted to play the game without spending the big bucks needed on another console, just i think patience is virtue for all of us. Though i must add that there's a bit of Bogus here, but it makes sense, if the game doesn't sell well on the PS3, alternatives must be found, i'm not saying the game will not sell well, but the amount of PS3 units in the whole world might give the E to the equation.

Happy new year everyone!!! Some Fanboys locked my topic, i believe is childish, where is the freedom of speech here????
