Rumor: Sony Loses Metal Gear Exclusivity

VG resource Center Reports:

"For months now, rumors have been circulating that Metal Gear Solid 4 would find its way to the Xbox 360, due to the PS3's lackluster performance and dwindling third-party support. This is following revelations that other hotly-anticipated games and former PS3-exclusives, such as Assassin's Creed and Devil May Cry 4, will also show up on the 360.

However, after months of rumor-mongering by various gaming sites, and even a mention in the Dec 06 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (page 51), a source at Konami (who wishes to remain anonymous) sent us some juicy details"...

Well it's not a first of aprils joke if it's made on the day before, is it?

" Posted by Dennis Wyman on: 03.31.07
(If available) - game info | review"

Oh yeah BTW Kojiama can say all he wants, but if the Konami board want MGS4 to be on the 360 because they like profit, it will be on the 360. If Kojiama likes it or not.

And using 50 GB is just nonsense ofcourse. Like Resistance would use 25 GB, lateron it became 16 GB or so and still because of lame programming. 8 freaking tracks dudes. It could have easily fit on a DL-DVD for sure.

If this ain't an April joke, you Sony fans that bought a PS3 are SCREWED

12.1 - It's NOT that the 360 guys want the Sony games....

It's the fact the 360 guys love to hear and see the Sony guys WHINING so defensively about it. Even if it is fake, it's still fun to watch the Sony fanboys squirm. (for the record, I'm a 360 owner, but VERY much a Sony supporter too)

This dude has been quoted saying from now on he will only be developing games for a specific system only. Meaning if he decides to make a game for the Wii, then that game will only be on the Nin. Wii, and the same goes for the Xbox360.

Give it up this is BS, and a poor attempt at an April fools day.

17 - BS

Hello. Keep in mind Konami and Kojima confirmed a few hours ago at GO3 that MGS4 would remain a PS3 exclusive. This is just another BS stunt, most likely for April fools.

Remember when noooz.com claimed to have a dev tell them it was going to 360, then came clean and admitted they lied for website hits.

Don't get caught up in this bs, MGS4 will remain PS3 only.

Yeah if it came out on the 360 at least you would get your daily exercise requirements because you would be changing discs constantly... the developer of this game was complaining because the single layer blu-ray didn't have enough storage. I couldn't imagine it on a dvd-9. Too funny.

Keep dreaming. Of all the people to throw the term fanboy around. Konami has confirmed it being exclusive to ps3 three times this month. Twice on a podcast and just hours ago at GO3. It's evident this is complete BS and another cheap shot to land massive hits on their website.

Come on man... Do you really think that Sony (who is still the the industry leader in console sales) will just roll over and die without putting up a fight? Ohh and if you try and pull the Sega Dreamcast card or any other fail console just keep in mind that they didnt have anywhere near the success that Sony has in the industry.

Indeed. I'll play whatever looks appealing to me, no matter the platform. I feel sorry for people that limit themselves to one platform (by choice or finance issues), because there is and will be some really great games all around.
