Xbox Live boss John Schappert has said he would love to see Metal Gear Solid 4 on 360, and that the console certainly has power enough to handle the beefy game.

"I'm certainly in the fan club that would love to see Kojima-san's masterpiece come our way. It would be wonderful to play Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox. It could become another of the many franchises that started their life on another console that are now coming our way," Schappert told MCV.

"I can't speak on behalf of Konami, but I can shed more light on the fact that we definitely have the power to run MGS4.

"There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren't on PS3. We've got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power," he added.

His comments further grind the rumour mill set into action by Japanese Konami PR Yoshitaka Arai, who told a regional publication yesterday that "worldwide demand" for MGS4 on Xbox 360 was "quite high", and something the company was "looking into".

Kojima told us in August he was fed up of people asking for MGS4 on Xbox 360, but then he's trying to move away from the series and leave future instalments to a younger team, anyway.

The Metal Gear Solid creator is expected to unveil a brand new game at the Tokyo Game Show in 2009, too.

What's all the fuss about? Metal Gear Solid 4 only got 8/10. Look at all those worms!

hehehe, first final fantasy 13 and now MGS4 is on the maybe list. I have to say Microsoft is marketing the 360 very well. And Sony is going to have to pick their game up to try and make the PS3 look like more than an expensive blue ray player. hehe.

Its really the cheapest way to get a bluray player??

But not forgetting Virtua Fighter 5, Acecombat 6, tekken 6...

... It may have other umm, half decent games, but nothing to be excited about. And from what I've seen the price tends to be the same as any other blue ray, i was just quoting a friend of mine. only difference is, the PS3 has gaming. and woop de flippin do for that. Plus the PS3 is also lacking exclusive games, it lost FF13 as an exclusive and Metal gear was the next big exclusive that it had. I like the MGS games, not a huge fan, but I'd love to see that get taken from the list of "PS3 only" games as well

I wouldn't mind seeing Metal gear Solid: The Interactive Movie on 360. It played alright, but unless it has the word "Tales" at the front, I never really can seem to get into gigantic cut-scenes Still, being a multiplayer nut, it would be amazing to play MGO over LIVE!

Nice to see it on the 360, if not, its not a big loss.

Wasn't tekken 6 announced for the xbox 360 awhile ago?

It was announced at TGS this year.

MGS4 is one of PS3's best exclusives.
If Sony loses this one too..

The age of 3rd party exclusives is more or less over.
