Sony reaffirms MGS4 exclusivity with CES 2008 demo |

The Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the Xbox 360 rumor has been around for a long time now, and Sony along with Kojima Productions have tried to kill the buzz time and again. The Consumer Electronics Show 2008 in Las Vegas is no different as the anticipated tactical espionage game is marked as a Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive.
The image reproduced above was seen in Sony's CES 2008 booth where MGS4 was demoed off to the crowd using the new DualShock 3 controller. Sony and Konami Digital seem to hope that this move silences the buzz once and for all.
Fans of the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 continue to argue in online message boards about exclusivity. Whether this image above signifies absolute exclusivity or a temporal one remains to be seen. We'll update you as soon as we can.

now the only thing they can brag about is a 6 to 12 months delayed port on the xbox 360 which may or may not even happen.
finally another thing ps3 purchasers can be proud about.
thank you Kojima-san, Konami and Sony!

xbots (different from plain xbox owners) are just too stupid, desperate, and pathetic... couldn't think of any worst group of losers around reason why to me PSN will always be better than Live cause of the people you meet... doesn't hurt that most PS3 owners are young professionals compared to the kids running amuck on Live... and these Xbots are what's making the regular xbox owners look bad, they are just plain stupid...
wait for some time and here they come with "MGS is overrated i'd rather play Splinter"... "MGS is too old" just cause Sony and Konami has pawned them again.
then when another stupid Xbot makes up a rumor here goes the "i knew this would come to the 360"... "it's all just a matter of time"..
and then once again "i don't like MGS anyway"... and the cycle goes on... sad group of losers.

There have been plenty of ports from 360 > PS3, it wouldn't bother me one jot to see it go the other way - after all, if the PS3 has to suffer with crap ports, the 360 should get them too ^^

lol, I wouldn't be surprised if that actually got xbots going on a rampage.

I'm neither stupid, desperate or pathetic for thinking that.
And in the end its only one game, not everyone pulls their willie for this game. I wouldn't care if Halo 3 came out on the PS3 14 months after the Xbox 360 release. So why do PS3 owners get so pissy at the possibility of their precious MGS4 getting ported a whole year after they have finished playing it? Are they stupid, desperate and pathetic?

The last thing sony want, is to give consumers a reason to buy the 360. I'm sure they've signed an agreement to keep it on PS3.
Besides, since when was MGS multiplatform?

It's all just rumors. To be able to adjust to the Xbox 360 specs, you'll be waiting at least a year or two, and the Ps3 would have already had several more games that hold the same calibur as MGS4. And seeing as how Microsoft has been planning to make a game that they hope will measure up to the same hype that MGS4 is getting, I don't see them looking at MGS right now.
Every single rumor has been shot down thus far. Not denied, -shot down-. It all comes down to the opening week of the game. If it sells over a million units, don't expect it to be coming to the Xbox 360 anytime soon.

Uncharted probably wudnt hav been as gd if it were multiplat.

What are you talking about? MGS2 Substance IS the full MGS2 PLUS the VR missions! So it is the main title.
"It's all just rumors. To be able to adjust to the Xbox 360 specs, you'll be waiting at least a year or two"
Well duh!
"Every single rumor has been shot down thus far. Not denied, -shot down-."
It's been denied and that's it, nothing more than that. But many games in the past have been denied to be coming out on a certain format and then the rumours later turned out to be true. So it could happen with MGS4. If there is to be a 360 version, there is absolutely no way Konami or anyone else are going to give it away now. So I don't know why some people seem to expect them to.
"It all comes down to the opening week of the game."
No it doesn't. Great sales for MGS4 is a given. We ALL know it's going to be huge! Konami are not going to be sitting around waiting to see what happens because they also KNOW MGS4 is going to have huge sales (just as Bungie knew the same about Halo 3). So if they do announce MGS4 is coming to the 360 in the future, then they would have decided this LONG before MGS4 was released, and if the rumours turn out to be true, then that decision has been made already.
The future will reveal all.

Maybe you're confusing it with Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for the GameCube? Which was a MGS game for Nintendo's console developed by Silicon Knights and Konami?
Although I'm not sure, because wasn't that game for the GC a remake of the first MGS for the PS2?

I mean its also likely the PS3 will see a Bioshock port or maybe even a mass effect port some time soon, nothing wrong to think that is there? Especially if xbots believe MGS4 will eventually be on there system.

I want MS to make me buy the console with original and new games, not claiming to take other games from Sony, cause thats not going to make me buy a 360. Now im getting a 360 for halo 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, don't know what else afterwards. But those are their titles not games from another system.
Be original MS not copy.
