Money speaks louder than words and past quotes, especially in these trying times. Last years FFXIII E3 announcement for the 360 proved, anything is possible this generation.

Even if it is released for the 360 I will still maintain the series on my PS3, but I only hope it goes multi-platform. The more people who can experience the series the better.

We all know Square Enix is as loyal as a mercenary, they'll do anything for money. Kojima is different, even when it would have been a good idea to make MGS4 mult-plat back in the day he didn't do so, and even as times get worse I can't imagine him going against what he has stood for in the past, loyalty.

This puts a frown on my face what do you think these business's exist for?? You're talking as if its a playground full of children.

 

Konami are a BUSINESS and they're main aim ALWAYS is to make MONEY.

Konami is a business, but Kojima is an ARTIST.

 

Big difference there buddy. Kojima will do whatever he wants with MGS, and Konami can't tell him shit.

You think Konami bows to evey word spoken by him? I don't think so. What happened to his loyalty with these ports then? why is MGS4 any different to MGS2?

It doesn't matter that Konami isn't short on cash. "Oh we have enough cash, so we don't need to port it" doesn't work like that, a company's aim is to make as much profit as possible. They're not going to give up free money.

Kojima has a hell of a lot of power within Konami.  He was made VP of the company a year or two after MGS2 hit, and he only stepped down from that position when he created his very own branch of the company, Kojima Productions, a branch that would allow him to focus solely on games.

However, Kojima is still not the President or CEO, and either way the company has shareholders to think about.  I think MGS4 will go multiplat, but I don't think it will be at the hands of Kojima.  I think Kojima will keep doing what he does - making great games for whatever system he may choose, and then Konami may choose to port them after the fact, much like MGS2.  This is why I said what I did in my previous post.
