OXM rumor: MGS4 on 360 a few months after PS3
While the MGS4 360 rumor has yet to come true, a reliable tipster tells us that Official Xbox Magazine has taken it upon themselves to toss another log on the fire. In the most recent Rumor Mole section, OXM declares that a "bankable source" told them that Metal Gear Solid 4 is definitely coming to Xbox 360. The game is reportedly being ported by a separate team -- which isn't headed by Hideo Kojima -- and should ship "a few months" after the PS3 version.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is not PS3 Exclusive - Joystiq
Boutros' source says that MGS4 will be coming to the Xbox 360 shortly after the PS3 release. The source says Konami is concerned that there will still not be enough PS3 units out there to make the game profitable. This is the same rationale being used by many publishers, including Ubisoft, to jump off the exclusive bandwagon. Somebody has to pay the bills and the wider the net, the more money publishers will make.

Metal Gear Solid 4 coming for the Xbox 360? - Team Xbox
Apparently, the rumors are abound that while the PS3 version of MGS4 will be released first, that some time there after, Konami will be releasing it on the Xbox 360 as well. The rumors take things even further, stating that the reason behind this decision is that the publisher feels it is necessary in order to recoup the costs in making the game and they just don't believe there are enough PS3 units on the market

Metal Gear Solid 4 for 360, yea or nay? - Arstechnica
It was reported that an inside source tipped off a gaming site that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be coming to the 360 sooner than we think. The rationale was that Sony just wouldn't have enough inventory to put into stores to make it worth Konami's time to do an exclusive PS3 title.

have u guys seen the gameplay video? i was like OMGWTFBBQPEWPEWLASERHOLYCRAPGOODSHITMAN!!!!!!!!!

Will it or won't it? The question has been asked to death.  Honestly, I don't care whether or not Metal Gear Solid 4 goes multi-platform, because I am playing it on the PLAYSTATION 3 (the system it was designed for). Regardless, an insider in Japan who attended Konami's analyst meeting today passed along this info:


    . Metal Gear Solid 4's exact release date will be announced at the Tokyo Game Show.

    . President Fumiaki Tanaka of Konami Digital Entertainment stated that release is likely Q4 March 2008

    . President Tanaka also stated, "As we are aware of the popularity and hardware-driving power of this software franchise, going forwards we are open to taking this franchise across to other platforms."


The meeting only ended a few hours ago, and we are trying to verify this information. The PDF on the Konami site shows only what looks like slides and doesn't say squat, really. President Tanaka most likely did not say this for gamers, but investors. And it's not clear whether he meant MGS4 or just Metal Gear Solid games, however.

i think this won't be on the box .. unless konami makes a last minute changes or tikam dari belakang  announcement

the problem is not that KP won't port MGS games to xbox platform, the problem is the 360 fanbase may not want to buy MGS games, plenty of other 360 shooter games competing for gamers' dollars. the same thing may also happen to DMC4, who i feel is not "macho" enough for 360 US fanbase

my guess is by switching to compressed audio, MGS4 should fit within 3 DVD9s.

DVD9 is gonna be a limiting factor for next-gen games. Fact is a fact no matter how u wanna claim to be. For RPG is okay i guess, but for seamless games like GTA, then storage is really an issue. It's a wonder why MS pays (bribe!) Rockstar US$50m for exclusive contents. I'm surprised not many ppl bashed MS for that but still continuing bashing Sony like no tommorow. Sony bashing is the in-thing nowadays huh?
