not really.

Metal Gear Solid 4 has a pretty low chance of being PS3 exclusive actually. Why don't you read up on Konami's situation regarding finances. There has been talk by the developers that sticking to one platform, even for a limited period of time, is not worth it money-wise anymore.

Interesting... While I've got no idea what is going on, I always thought Sony had thrown some cash at Kojima Productions to make it an exclusive. Given that in some of the early teasers they even promote the PS3s Cell processor... can't see a reason why they would promote that otherwise.

But like others have said, MGS has eventually come to the rival consoles. I kind of hope it does, as it's the only reason I actually want a PS3. If it comes to 360 I have no reason to even consider ever wanting a PS3, even at a low price.

Did Snake Eater ever come out for the Xbox though?

good to see Armoured Core 4 will arrive on the x360

Really? Financial troubles or no I'd assume Sony would throw a lot of money at them to keep the Metal Gear Series. It would be a massive coup if it turned up on the 360.

Sony are going through a tight patch atm so giving lots of cash away is not a good choice if keeping MGS4 exclusive comes down to who will splash the most cash then my money is on microsoft getting the game very soon after the PS3

I would imagine microsoft are throwing around large sums of money as well to make sure it isn't a exclusive.
