Does anyone think that MGS4 will come out for Xbox 360 or is it going to be PS3 exclusive? I hope not.

Chances are it will be PS3 exclusive for about 6 months then a 360 version will come. They wont make their money back on the production costs if PS3 sales dont dramatically increase before then.

If they do port MGS4 to the 360, it'll basically be a MGS4: Substance, or something. But it's definitely staying exclusive to the PS3.

Much like Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii, Konami is doing everything they can to make sure MGS4 will be perfect, and putting in a small delay to fine-tune it to perfection is the right way to go.
