Andy Robinson from CVG contacted Konami and got told “Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time,”. Read into that how you like.

Meanwhile, Luke Smith from 1up wrote something far more intelligent (sorry Andy – you know I love you in a totally heterosexual way dude):

Original story here:
Sony can’t be happy to lose another big exclusive.
Earlier this week, the information of Metal gear’s non platform exclusivity was imparted to me by way of a dev source close to the team who cannot be named by pain of death. It’s coming a few months later than the PS3 game, but it’s happening folks.
This is said to be because publishers – including Konami – don’t believe there’ll be enough PS3s out there by the time the game hits because of the blu ray diode failure issues.
Now all I need is VF5 and I won’t have to buy a 3rd console!
I’ll get official comment from Konami in the week, but it is Saturday and this came pretty much from the horse’s mouth, so you can count on this being legit.

Also, can you fanboys in the comments box give it a fucking rest with platform wars? It’s not a football team or a country, it’s a fucking machine made by a giant corporation that wants your money. GET OVER IT.

keh, man that feels awful, I really do want MGS4 to be exclusive cuz thats one of the reasons I bought a Ps3 and I dont want all of the exclusives to come out to the 360 too cuz then it was a waste of time to buy a Ps3!!!

Im actauly a big XBOX fan , im no gaming junkie… okay thats a lie… but ive been to several web pages now and the one say tomato and the other one potato. Konami will break eventauly. thats a fact. i mean look at Gears of War it did so good they’re bringing it out on Pc aswel . Why cant Konami do the same. SCREW THE PS3,SCREW THE “EXCLUSIVE” and SCREW any other PS3 gamer who wants to be a Stingy F*ck! What would you do with a girlfriend who doesnt put out. GET YOURSELF ANOTHER SUPPLIER. its the law of nature.

Yall all suck ass ps3 sux and u mad the fact yall spend 900 dollars for a plastic p.o.s. Yall should have waited until 2009 when playstation picks up the slack like ps2 did but I doubt ps3 will compete @ all as far as games because xbox360 has the next gen tech that we are looking for

Aww too bad this didn’t go down. I’ve heard it’s a great game.
Can’t wait for the XBOX 360 to support blu-ray.
