At this time as in about a HALF year ago, but either way, year or a half year is squat if you consider the development time for this game. If six months ago Konami said no plans "at this time," and the game is not even finished yet, do you think they are even worried about porting it to xbox right now? My guess is no.
The 3yr warranty that only covers the red ring of death, but none of the other major hardware issues. Have fun sending it in over and over again. I'll just hope you can get a PS3 by year 4.
I call BS on this. His comment about the pricing of the Playstation 3 makes zero sense. "... with $500, you can buy a person computer," I would like to know what kind of gaming computer a person can get for 500 dollars? I am a console gamer but the gaming computers I have seen start at $1,000. Hell I have seen gamers spend $500 on just a video card.Secondly, so no one is going to buy a Playstation 3 at $500 that is why MGS is going to also be on the XBox. Huh? I guess no one told him that with the XBox Elite and with the Playstation 3 price cut the (a similar specked) XBox console is now more expensive than the PS3. You won't develop for one $500 system buy you will for a $600 because the $500 is too expensive? --- Now with all that said here is why I call BS. I believe that Joystiq took this quote out of context. They show only one sentience in what the man said in quotes, and it was abbreviated and edited. So, the entire 3 paragraph article is built around one edited sentience quote.What Kazumi Kitaue is talking about is the cost of games becoming more and more expensive that gamers are going to see fewer and fewer so called exclusives. The exception being games developed in house of course. You might see games exclusive to a console for a few months or games with exclusive content (i.e. a single bonus level) but full out true exclusive is going to be a thing of the past. Games development is just too expensive to try and sell one game on one system.
I have both consoles as well..I am good either way.But, have to admit, is funny to see people sound sooo excited about the fact a game will be "exclusive" (even if there is a chance it may only be so for 6-12 months). Will the real fan boys (360 or PS3) please step up!!
You are forgetting about game length and dialog. Maybe you should also watch some of the HD trailers/gameplay vids. 360 games are short for because of the duel layer DVD limit.
HOLY S*IT ....This game will only be for the PS3 this ganme hold has 29gb on a blu ray disc. A blu ray disc holds around 32 gb. A normal hd isc for microsoft holds 8 gb. The xbox version would cost them to make 4 discs for this game. they will make more money with just selling the ps3. GETT OVER THE RUMORS XBOX FANS = DESPERATE

Plus most PS3 games use like 10 or 15 gigs of filler just to get the actual game content to the edge of the disc.

Konami was at the Sony Conference and stated MGS4 is PS3 exclusive...so yeah...your story....no. <a class="user" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearsolid4/news.html?sid=6174036&tag=newlyadded;title;2">http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearsolid4/news.html?sid=6174036&tag=newlyadded;title;2</a> dugg down-inaccurate
