Metal Gear Solid 4 Is Just About Done

Good. I hope there will be a simultaneous worldwide release for the Xbox 360 version soon

Thats about as likely as Gears of War going to PS3, or Mass Effect, or Bioshock...point is, its not gonna happen.

But if this game is not a success inmediately after the release, I'm sure Konami will be thinking about a 360 port.

Would they? Considering the game was made on and for the PS3 without multiplatform in mind, they'd have spend nearly the same amount on developing for the 360. And they'd have cut features, make it multi disc (5 discs? since Kojima said it requires a 50gb Blu-ray) or devise a compression scheme that works (maybe brings it down to 3 or 4 discs rather than 5) and have maybe the same result (poor sales) on the 360 yet now have DOUBLE the cost to recoup?

I doubt it will happen. If this game doesn't sell 1 million copies in its first week, being multiplatform won't help it any.

....then it is quote possible for MGS4 as well to come to 360. I suppose the logic goes both ways then.

Not really. Kojima has a better relationship with Sony.

...and Cliffy B with Microsoft. All he did was thank Microsoft for they're support.

Konami did more games for Xbox 360 than PlayStation 3.

Well anything is possible I suppose. I recall the head designer of resident evil 4 said that he would cut off his own head if he ported the game to the ps2. He was extremely adamant about the gamecube exclusivity

just because a game is small on disc doesn't mean it is small in scope or complexity
