That's the first thing that came to my mind...

There is one trend here, Sony is losing their hold over the gaming world.

sony is projecting shipping 6 million ps3's by march. That's a pretty damn quick catch up to the 360's total of 6 million shipped as of a few weeks ago.

Re: EGM Rumor: MGS4 360

"Projecting"... that's a HUGE If... Microsoft Projected a lot more in the same time frame... and Sony has had some problems manufacturing as well... after systems start going back for repair, that will take quite a few out of the projected number.

I hope sony does well... I'll get one early next year... but they have some rough times ahead too.

"We expect Sony to deliver 150 to 200k units to stores in the United States for the launch," Sebastian said, adding, "We estimate sales of approximately 750k PS3s domestically by year-end. We expect a more robust launch from Nintendo, with at least 1.2 million units sold in the U.S. and up to 4 million units shipped worldwide by year-end."

Oop. Good catch...Raiden bites.

Re: EGM Rumor: MGS4 360

I'm getting kind of tired of all these games being on both systems. Not that I really am mad but darn it, at least give me a reason to look at the PS3 three years later after its second price drop where I'd probably get it. If it happens, it only makes me wonder how long before one of them goes out of business and gets bought by the other. This war looks like the war of the first-party games just like was stated before the launch began.......

Here is what Kojima said in a recent interview:

"
GP: Is MGS4 still planned as an exclusive PS3 game? Do you have any interest in Xbox 360 development?
Kojima: Well, yes, I do have strong interest in creating something for the Xbox 360. In the US and Europe, it is selling, and I think it will sell a lot this year as well. I'm a fan of Gears of War as well, it's very interesting.
Frankly speaking, I want to create something on the PC. It's a multi-platform [format]. I've been regularly studying work on the PC anyways, and I want to provide something as a world-wide platform because of the consequences with timing on the PlayStation platforms, MGS4 is actually for the PS3 only so far."

So far leaves a lot of room.

Re: EGM Rumor: MGS4 360

First Party titles will make or break a game console. There will always be exclusives they arent going anywhere!

Sony letting Konami put MGS 4 on the 360 is like Microsoft letting Epic put Gears of War on the PS3, It isnt going to happen folks!

Re: EGM Rumor: MGS4 360

Sony has no say in what they do.

MS seems to have a deeper war chest and if Konami thinks they can sell three million more copies in three months on the 360 it will happen.

It wouldn't have hurt him or Sony if he would've said MGS4 will port to 360. Would've only affected a very small % of the people's buying decision in the US, and wouldn't have any noticeable affect in Japan. The majority of MGS heads in the US are PS warriors.

So with that logic, I don't not think MGS4 will be ported to 360.

But I do think that Koj will make a game for 360. I mean, he did say he had strong interest in creating something.
