Sony doesn't deserve respect, Kojima respects gaming. Its not like hes a 1st party developer suddenly making Xbox 360 games.

Yes, Sony doesn't deserve respect , let's overlook the fact that they've massivley contributed to modern console gaming ( more so than Microsoft certainly ) more so than the vast majority of gaming comapnies , let's ignore the success of the PS1 , PS2, PSP , PS3 (at least marketshare wise) and the wealth and diversity of 1st ,2nd ,3rd party support Sony has brought onto it's gaming platoforms.

The playstation brand is synonymous with gaming and Kojima does respect that , it's just that everyone respects money more.

Frankly, by most of the logic employed in this thread, Kojima is showing great respect to gamers.

Even if the game is Xbox 360 exclusive, he is offering it too a far greater number of gamers than if it had been PS3 exclusive.

Not really. It would be best if it was multiplat (which I'm 99% sure it is), but if it was PS3 exclusive, the people who had been fans of MGS would be able to play it. You can't do a simple userbase calculation because MGS:R would sell less on 360 than PS3, and thus fewer people would enjoy it.

The reason I didn't want MGS4 to be multiplat was because Kojima had said quite clearly on several occasions that MGS4 was never going to the 360. He would be going back on his word, and I hate it when developers do that. I'm fine with future MGS games being multiplat, more people get to play them, Kojima gets more money. As long as I can play it on my PS3, and it's not gimped because of multiplat development, I'm happy. In fact, Kojima said future MGS games would (probably) be multiplat around a year ago.
