MGS5 will be exclusive, the sales of MGS4 merrits it.

That argument is weak. The sales of Call of Dutyand Grand Theft Auto warrant them to be 360 exclusives, since both games outsold MGS4 on the 360 alone. However, they gathered a considerable amount of additional sales by being multiplatform. It would be beneficial from a sales perspective for both MGS4 and whatever the next title is to come over to the 360, especially considering MGS's strong american slant on sales.

 

 

your right but im lookin at it from a different angle.

What angle is that? Your original comment was from a financial perspective, which I rebutted, and you now agree. So what angle am I missing from your post? Is this a quality issue, like "MGS5 can only be made on a Blu Ray and the Cell!" then it has no relevance to the argument at hand.

 

 

You see your taking the " Im a company, I want the Most I can get perpective" which is fine thats what most companies are after, but if Konami cared about Max profits why haven't they ported MGS4 yet, what i was saying is for a Excludive PS3 game MGS4 has done Xcellent, which is enough to merrit another exclusive MGS,

I think Konami listens to Kojima far too much, but I have no evidence to back it up. It's merely a thought. I think they allow him to partially dictate what he wants to do with the series, and that may not always be in the best interests of the company. Why it still is not on 360 might involve how late it is, which means diminished returns on a port, plus the way MGS4 is designed would require a more expensive porting process to get it to fit properly on the 360, and multiple discs to boot, raising costs. I was merely talking about the new game anyways. The MGS4 on 360 being a great idea ship sailed long ago. It should have been first day or nothing.
