According to the German gaming site Gamefront, Hideo Kojima might be thinking about MGS5 for Xbox360. He basically said that he was unhappy with the MGS2 XBox port, so if he were to make a Metal Gear on the XBox360, it would be a totally new Metal Gear game, not a port. He is tailoring MGS4 to the PS3 hardware as well, so a port would be difficult at best. This would be a huge coup for MS if Kojima created a Metal Gear game just for the 360.
"Hideo Kojima is no fan of Multi-platform development. Every hardware has its own advantages and disadvantages. He wants to use the advantage of each Hardware he works on and finetune the Game to it. He names as example Metal Gear Solid 2. It was specifically designed for the PS2, because the Console could do invisible Polygons. You could aswell combine these polygons and thus create such effects as Rain and Wind. The Xbox Port of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance was somewhat different and the Game is not as complete, since it was tailored for the PS2 Hardware. Kojima refers in this topic to Splinter Cell 2 saying it looks very good on the Xbox yet looks weirdly bad on the Playstation2. Such a port would not be right towards loyal Fans, and he doesn't plan on doing that. Thats why he develops Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Playstation 3. He Wants to concentrate to create something specifically to the PS3 Hardware. It would be the same if he was to create Metal Gear Solid 5 for the Xbox 360: The Game would profit from the consoles hardware advantages and there would be no PS3 Port since it would not do the Title justice."

It's not coming out for Xbox360...jeez
He was just saying if he's going to make a port of MGS4 to the Xbox360, it'll look really ugly. That's why he'll stick with the PS3.
All in all, he's saying, MGS4 wont show up. Another thing, he said that MGS5 (if it ever happens), he wont direct it. He will only write the story but beyond that, he's not working on it.

He was exagerating to make a point, incase you couldnt tell. Kojima DOES say that the game wouldnt look as good on X360, and that it may look incomplete on X360, so it wont happen.

Umm...... P$ fans? The $ sign is specifically used to represent the S in MS (ie M$) to signify the fact that microsoft is rich and flaunts it. No XBox fanboy (that you clearly are) could ever say Sony is a money flaunting company, because that would be hipocritical (worse, it would be, to quote the bible, pointing out the splinter in anothers eye with a log in your own.)
