[QUOTE="manystylez"]I am tired of lemmings saying oh the mgs series is far overrated. If it was overrated why would other lemmings be so quick to say oh it's coming to 360. If it is so overrated why would microsoft beg... literally on their knees geting ready to you what to Kojima to make a xbox port. Oh yea remember the time when lemmings said "we don't need bluray, ps3 was just made to help bluray" look at them now lol. Microsoft said they might make a bluray 360 if there consumers want it. Now the lemmings are all saying we want bluray. Oh yea just to bring it out bluray won the format war just do ya research.Eddie5vs1
:roll: Yes, because lemmings are the only fanboys that do that....please. Personally, I haven't enjoyed a MGS game since Solid on the PS1, and even though I have a ps3 I have no interest in getting it. The reality is that there is a chance (however small) of MGS coming to the 360. Why? Money.
Let's say that MGS cost 20 million to make. Now, for the sake of argument well say that MGS will sell 3 million copies (which IMO is an overestimation, but I digress). At $60 per game that would equal out to around 180 million. Once you take out publishing costs, manufacturing, royalties, licensing, the cost of BD, you're probably down to around 130 million made. And cows can claim loyatly to the PlayStation brand, but the truth is is that Konami is a business with investors. They could care less about anything but making money.
Now, developers have indicated that porting a game only adds 10% to development fields, so for my example it would be around an extra 2 million. Now, there are around 10 miliion 360's out there. Let's say that the 360 sells 2 million copies for an extra 120 million. It would make sense for them to port it.
In regard to Blu Ray. Personally, I don't feel it's NEEDED this generation, but it is beneficial. I personally could care less that I have to get off the couch once in awhile to change discs. So, that's just my points, I hope you take something from them.
it don't cost 20 million to make
