The rumors on MGS4 porting to the Xbox360 spread like flus and STDs, etc...with the rumors first coming from 1up.com and EGM magazine that MGS4 could slightly possible come to the Xbox360 console due to various reasons like Konami has forced Hideo Kojima to make his decision to port the game to the Xbox360 as well due to fear of sales on the PS3, (which I think is complete bullshit) and that Xbox360 had a year head start than the PS3 and the Wii. Why, even Konami has even put "Rumble Roses" to the Xbox360 from the PS2 version with extra features and better graphics. So lets not forget that even MGS2: subtance was even on the orginal Xbox and even thou it has made some poor sales but it still has been put on Xbox anyway, and given Xbox owners a chance to experience the MGS sequel. Now that it was a shame that MGS3 has never been ported to Xbox or Xbox360 anyway. thou there were some rumors that the newer MGS3 after the orginal MGS3 with online features would be ported to Xbox360 for Xbox live but that never happened anyway. seems that Konami doesnt support Xbox or Xbox360 that much, and yet I heard rumors that MGS4 would be ported to Xbox360 awhile later after the PS3 version but I still think its not going to happen even thou I really do wish it would happen but with Konami's being Sony's bitch, MGS4 is still strictly being put on the PS3 cause Sony just wants more money than Konami does.

so I dont know whats going to happen but *sigh* I still dont think it will happen but even if it does, then I will be VERY happy to know that I will no longer need to spend 600 dollars on a PS3 just for MGS4. :D

anyway, here's the article.



Konami: "MGS4 is exclusive to PlayStation 3"

Metal Gear 4 doing a 360? "MGS4 is exclusive to PlayStation 3", Konami tells CVG

The internet was aflutter with rumours this weekend, as reports speculated that the massive PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid instalment, Guns of the Patriots was stealthing its way over to Xbox 360 - rumours that Konami has since debunked to CVG. "Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time," a Konami representative told CVG, reiterating that the Hideo Kojima stealth-em-up was still "exclusive to PlayStation 3." The original internet report pointed at the MGS instalment branching-out onto multiple platforms due to Konami's concerns that there won't be enough PS3s in gamers' hands by the time it hits shelves. Though going by the company's official word, it looks like there'll be no Solid Snake action on Microsoft's console for the time being. We wouldn't totally rule out a 360 version in the long term, but you can bet the game will be exclusive to PS3 for at least a year. We'll be sure to pipe up if Konami flips its stance.

and if the article is pretty much true, then it's like that Capcom said RE4 will remain exclusive to the gamecube and then awhile later, Capcom just changed their mind and decided to do a multiplatform to the PS2 since PS2 owners were bitching and moaning at Capcom for not porting the game to the PS2 and they did so to shut them up. :lol:
 
It's false about rumors that would port on 360 for some reason.

There's problem that can't port to 360
-MGS4 will use BD, that would make more than 9GB
-Use of cell processor
-RAM (2x 256) are different from 360

Konami don't have to make other games for 360 since some feature and level will cut and isn't good as PS3 version.

Steel, You getting new job soon then earn it and get PS3 then your problem will solved.
 
I think Hideo Kojima would be wise to have a XBOX 360 MGS multiplayer game that would have XBOX's Live service in mind. I really would care less if MGS4 is ported on the 360 or not. It probably will be best on the PS3, since it was developed with the core processors in mind. Have you seen the IN-GAME trailer for MGS4? IN-GAME, and it looks like pre-rendered CGI cutscene quality on the 360. IN-GAME. It really is hard to emphasize how amazing that trailer is and how mind-blowingly amazing MGS4 is going to be. It is going to turn heads. When it comes out, MGS4 probably will make me really start thinking about a PS3.
 
many ppl at 1up.com boards think there would be a possiblity that MGS4 would be ported to the Xbox360 because of the facts that it's got a year head start, and such games were successful like Dead Rising, and ports to Xbox360 sold pretty good so with the PS3, as other PS consoles always a year behind, and the fanbase has obviously grew quickly but this time is different with the PS3 as many arent that impressed with the PS3. I really wonder how big the PS3 fanbase is as the Xbox360 fanbase. Sure I know all of them were sold at launch but was it an successful launch? not likely. It wasnt all that violent and bloody as was the Xbox360 launch...sure some ppl got robbed by it but at least they werent even seriously injuried. anyway, if Konami has decided to port it to the Xbox360, it's money talking. would be more of a business decision than a "fanboy" decision saying "ahhh we worked afew years on MGS4 and yet, it's not selling well on the PS3...ah well at least we have a good relationship with Sony." would Konami really be like that? I dont think so. I dont think Konami would even care where they port the game to since it's just a game, and then many fanboys cry and whine about it like it's a big deal ugh they should get a fucking life. Thats part of why I hate fanboys. companies and game developers dont really care about fanboys...only care more about money and port it to other consoles to form an even larger audience and make more money that way. Now, the PS3 is just the begining, and who knows what will happen in the next year as it comes by, that Konami may have decided to make MGS4 REALLY exclusive to the PS3? Most game developers like it better porting games to mulit-consoles so to form bigger audiences and make more money the easiest way. Usually for games that is only exclusive on one console is harder. So seriously, being a game developer is never easy and always have to make demands for the gamers out there.

It was rumor from 1up.com

Konami had finally decided to port MGS4 on PS3 since Sony was paid them, also signed on contract to make exclusive on PS3 and none of them will release on Wii and 360. That's what discussed with some members from PS forum and talked about Konami. Konami isn't same as Rockstars since when GTA was released on PS2 then ported to Xbox in next 6 month, also some rumors said that Bully will port on Xbox in next 6 month or not happen but wait to find out in next year.
 
I'm glad that they kept MGS4 with PS3. MGS4 is supposedly the last in the series and this would be something to help PS3.
