MGS4 isn't even in the world-wide top 200 anymore, which means that Konami isn't making much on it.
But, if Konami were to sink $5 million in to porting the game, release it on the 360 and it were to sell at least a mere million copies (very likely), they'd pocket an additional $35 million (estimating an average selling price of $39/copy) above the cost of the port.
...for what is, currently, a title long past its prime, selling only 2.5k copies/week worldwide.
Seems to make business sense to me. Particularly as MGS4 was supposed to be the 'last' one in the series. PS3 got its exclusive time and made its money, but now MGS4 is just sitting with millions in potential earnings for Konami.
