I love that article, but it won't stop the rumors. Still, this nearly completely shuts it down. They should've added the interview with Moore when he said he wanted it but it didn't happen.

Regardless, I'll being linking to this article every rumor :)

The gaming cake (3) and SIXAXIS (9) are the coolest ones but the mobile and movie (5 & 6) are the strongest reasons IMO. But even with them there is still place for doubt. Silent Hill was also a Konami games and Sony Pictures also has the movie rights of the series and is making Silent Hill 2 movie BUT, Silent Hill 5 went multi.
Nice find and list. I want to have:
1.One of those cakes.
2.One of those T-Shirts that Kojima is wearing with MGS4 on it.
3.MGS4, the game it self.

6 - Enough Said

But i still can't believe that people think that it might come to the XBOX 360. This man takes great pride in his work (Kojima) He worked his ass off for the past 20 years and only published his games for Sony why would this be so different. He's gonna end in a good note. He wants to give all his loyal ps fans a good farewell game.

What's the point of playing MSG4 on xbox if you've never had the first 3 released?? I don't understand the concept behind that?? It's PS3 exclusive and that's it. Stop focusing on this problem as move on. It's exclusive that's it that's all. Get on with it. Game editors like to make it seem like it's coming to Xbox, but they just want attention. The man himslef said it was PS3 exclusive what more of a proof do u people want. Do u want God to come down to earth and say it's exclusive for u people to believe. Xbots stick to ur threads.

6.2 - No Flame

wanted to say MGS 1 was also on Gamecube, PC, and Gameboy. MGS 2 also on xbox and PC. MGS 3 was PS2 exclusive. What will decide all this is how many PS3's and copies of the game are sold; if every PS3 owner buys this game and Konami has the biggest success with this game and makes enough money, it'll stay exclusive. If not, it might jump ship like the other 2 metal gear solid games, cause in the end Konami Suits decide where MGS4 goes, not Kojima.

this game will be best on ps3, always. ports can suck balls

6.3 - @ i Shank u

I agree that the amount of game units sold MIGHT eventually be a deciding factor on wether or not MGS4 multiplat actually happens but, it would have to be an EXTREMELY low number. After watching the demo, I honestly don't see that happening.

Besides, it's a safe bet that MGS4 will sell AS MANY PS3s as GeOW sold 360s (or maybe even as many as Halo3 WILL sell 360s this fall).
MGS4 IS a system seller, so in a way the game is actually expanding it's own market.

All I know is that people who receive OXM may be thinking differently right now. That's all I'm going to say unless someone wants to know more.

The game looks really cool by the way.

Edit: Hey, I don't think that comment made me deserve to have bubbles taken away. All I'm saying is that OXM is spreading a different rumor around. In no way was this a bad comment, it's just something I read today. If you disagree, you could maybe tell me why...

10.1 - um......

That part in the OXM mag was in the "RUMOR" section. And to add insult to injury, The oxm magazine was in production BEFORE e3 kicked off and BEFORE kojima, jack, peter, and phil made the "exclusive" statments.

Yes, it is the rumor section, I know this. I'm just saying that the "rumor mole" is hardly ever wrong. I apologize, but usually the rumors turn out to be correct that are in that section, I guess I'm wrong.

You should understand that EVERY story about MGS4 on XBox is a rumour. Rumours with no fact behind them and we're just a little bit sick of hearing them.

Anyway trane07 is right, that would have been written way before E3 and certainly before 2 new product which turned out to be playstation game were announced. This should put an end to it now, everyone whos anyone including me ;) has stated its NOT happening.

Anyway, thats my opinion, and I never touched your bubbles.

I know that every piece of MGS4 on 360 is a rumor. I just felt like this one was more credible. And like I said, I was wrong. And I know your sick of the rumors so sorry for bringing it up!

Forget the movie, forget the phone game, flowers, booze and cakes.

There are 4 REAL reasons why this game is EXCLUSIVE to PS3.

1. It was built from the ground up to run on Cell.
2. Kojima's vision is bigger than 9 Gigabytes.
3. Not only do they want the game to be on the most powerful hardware and therefore the best the game can possible be, they want it to sell in JAPAN.
4. BECAUSE HIDEO KOJIMA FKN WANTS IT THAT WAY !!

Now I've held off from gloating or rubbing it in peoples faces about MGS4 staying with PS3 AGAIN, so can we please let his go now. Not only was it not announced for Xbox but PS3 got ANOTHER Metal Gear Solid game you wont be getting. PSP got a MGS game, and even mobile phones got a MGS games. Face it, the man, for whatever reason has no love for Xbox. Probably because of the pride he takes in his work and want his countrymen to buy it. He's lucky to have Sony, and they are lucky to have him.

Now I suggest if you're really hanging out for MGS and you still hate PS3 or whatever childish reason, you should go by a mobile phone.

its true, it requires more than 9 gb of space for this game, no way a 360 disc can support this game, let alone the 360 console, cuz its developed for the cell proccessor

14.2 - Yeah, I noticed that too.

Kojima seems to have alot of love for Sony. The MGS2 digital comic for PSP, the MGS Sony Ericsson and the Sixaxis controller that Snake uses for the MK bot, rofl.
