@ Tajveed

I would buy the PS3 only to play MGS 4. Plus, there’s Blu-Ray and free PSN. But, agreed, the 360 is much better for us Bangladeshi gamers.

But as Adnan said, there are some Apple and Sony stuff in MGS4. Wouldn’t it look stupid if Snake used the PS3 controller on a 360 game? They would have to do much work than to just port a game. And as much as we all want to, I don’t think MGS4 will see the light of day on the 360, not at least now.

Hey, do you play over Xbox Live? Add me as your friend, my gamertag TUSHAR451.

From a sales point of view, mgs4 would turn out to be gr8 for the Xbox 360 console…i mean not everyone gets to own both nxt gen consoles all at a time(unless u turn out to be filthy rich?!:P) N y doesn’t Kojima realize that alot of gamers out there would prefer to spend a reasonable amount of money on a cheaper console which got a whole lot cheaper(the recent price cut for the 360) just made alot easier console to afford n with an award winning game library…what else do ya need. Millions will get to appreciate the work of kojima n hell…their gona have TWICE the amount of sales on a 360…il bet that!
Every time i pay a visit to rifles square…i c two 40gb ps3z lyin there for God knowz how long n when my eyes gazed upon those awesome copies of MGS4…it really pisses me off!!?!. I won’t buy a damn console for 1 game!:@:@
Check out these release dates n if u know what games to look for then ul truly c that xbox 360 righteously deserves MGS4.:P

Yeah MGS 2: Substance came, which also came for ps2 at that time. Perhaps something similar will come for the 360. Although lets not forget, MGS 3 never came to other systems.

From a strictly business point of view (keeping out the riots, fanboyism, personal threats, attacks, what else is there?) MGS4 will be really profitable for Microsoft if it made it to the 360. Heck, if it did, I don’t have to buy a PS3 just for playing MGS. But I doubt if it will.

Wasn’t MGS 2: Sons of Liberty on the original Xbox?

Honor? Pfft. Konami is a business. They work for a profit.
Only those more inclined to live under a bridge would believe that they should harm Kojima in the unlikely case of a port.

On advertisements in the game, competitors products have been showcased before, like Apple products in Pixar games. No riot was made. It is the right of the game maker to advertise in his/her game. Microsoft would be a fool to not accept a game, even if it advertises the competition. HD-DVD is dead, so I see no reason for Blu-Ray to even matter; Microsoft has the Mac Business Unit, and they definitely use Apple products; the 360 even works with an iPod. The idea that advertising would be an issue is not a very good one.

That said, I doubt MGS4 will come to the Xbox for various reasons, but not being able to port it is not one of them. In fact, if Sony brings it up much more, I might change my position, because such a challenge is one that Microsoft would be ill-advised to ignore.

Currently, my position is still that MGS4 is still exclusive, as some part of a partnership between Konami and Sony.

Apple Powerbook which Otacon uses, Apple iPod which snake uses. Snake uses Dual shock 3 to control a robot.

@ Adnan

So they got Apple ads too? What sort?

By: Adnan

Adnan — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:16:38 +0000

Exactly, not only that. It contains apple products, talks about Blu-ray and all that stuff.

@ Adnan

Although I haven’t played it yet but I heard that you get messages like it’s a PS3 exclusive throughout the loading screens, if I’m not mistaken.

I think throughout the game, it hints strongly that it is PS3 exclusive, we are not only talking about porting the code here. Although if they want to make drastic changes to the game, yeah its possible to come to the xbox 360.
