2) Cheap as port??? Don't care who said it, you or GebX, the game was stated to be highly optimized for PS3, not to mention the installs and all the PS references they have to remove

I am SICK & TIRED of this,........PS3 Superior BS

This hasn't been proved EVER & never will

PS3 is not some superior being with greater technology & MGS4 is a game EASILY done on the Xbox 360 (if RE5 was possible why not MGS4)

So stop the MGS4 is "optimized" for PS3 hype/rubbish.....its getting OLD now

 

Who said anything about it being superior? They just said that it was optimised for the PS3 - ie. it was programmed with the PS3's strengths and weaknesses (which are different to the 360's strengths and weaknesses) in mind.

To compare: Gears of War was optimised for the 360, and porting it to the PS3 would be a difficult process. Likewise, porting the PS3-optimised MGS4 to the 360 would also be a difficult process.

A MGS4 port on the 360 also wouldn't sell that well. Late ports never do. Most of the fans will have already bought and/or played it, and there's no hype to bring in new users. So it'd be lucky to even sell half a million.

And as has already been established, porting the game to the 360 would be a difficult (and thus costly) affair. High cost plus poor sales do not equal lots of profit.

Instead of getting a team to port MGS4 to the 360, Konami *may* be better off getting them to make a new game, which could potentially make them more profit.
