After hearing about XboxFamily confirming with a Konami rep that MGS4 was indeed headed to the 360, The Game Reviews contacted their Konami PR guy and he emphatically denied the rumor. Mr. Konami rep went on to say that "for the record, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and there are no plans to develop an Xbox 360 version of the game." Ouch. A bit harsh. So, that should be the end of all Xbox 360 MGS4 rumors forever and ever, right? That is unless Konami is hiding something and doesn't want their big 360 announcement spoiled so they deny it only because they know MGS4 is Xbox 360 bound! Ha! Taking a denial of a rumor and turning it into a rumor ... we're pure genius.

But he's not even really denying the rumor. He's just stating that "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" is not coming to the 360. "Metal Gear Solid 4: " might very well come to the 360.

true - even though i love the X360, sometimes the prices of DLC (esp when vendor wants to 'give' it away ala epic) is close to funny. Wouldnt mind seeing Drake on X360 though ;)

OMG if we're not getting MGS4, what ever will we play? No one wants to develop games for our obviously superior platform....
Oh, wait, what's coming out? Oh, yeah, nevermind, we'll be just fine. Whew!

if they don't do it, it's their loss. people will NOT spend all that money for a glorified waffle iron just for mgs. i'll gladly buy an ultimate collectors edition on 360, though..

Konami has to deny the rumours of MGS4 coming to xbox because it will cannabalize its own sales. Sony is hoping that it will move units, but if they announce that it will also be coming to the 360 people will just wait for it. This game has cost Konami way to much money too put all there eggs in one basket. They will have to recoup there costs some how. My prediction is that sony will end up getting a timed exclusive and xbox 360 will get it a year later but with exclusive content. I have spoken and so shall it be done.

Dead on. Money makes the world go round.
Nothing makes me laugh harder than a PS loyalist (read:fanboy) spewing nonsense about Japanese-on-Japanese console loyalty.
Are they enjoying Ace Combat 6?
I rest my case.

I'll still pick it up on PS3 but Konami is going to be losing alot of money not releasing it on 360. You gotta wonder what the budget was for this game and if they can break even or make a profit on the low user base of the PS3

I dont see the big deal here, so what if its just for PS3? 360 has plenty of exclusives too. I mean if we're gonna argue that this game should be multiplat because konami is just turning down money....then shouldnt the argument be made that NO games should be console exclusive anymore?
Just saying.

I still hope it comes to the 360.
The 360 pretty much flat out only has like, maybe two or three good games with really good stories, if that.. and that's stretching it!
Too much testosterone "GET IR DONE AND SHOOT IT DAH!" stuff. I'd love to use my 360 for more than action.. and the occasional offshoot with subdued action.... "I'll cry when I'm done killin'"
PLUS, I'd really love to not have to buy a PS3. I'm not made of money! Everyone act like they want MGS4 so it'll happen :(
and while you're at it, make FFXIII come out for the 360 too.
