Not surprised at all if its true - was expecting Xmas 08 actually. But this does leave the PS3 in a bit of a hole (in Japan) - unless its a Xmas 07 release for Japan, March 08 for the US. Not doing a 360 version is also just plain STUPID in my books. Easy sales... or don't Konami care about sales anymore?

LOL

maybe you missed the xbox MGS ports were sales failures, add that to the fact Kojima has to much pride to water down his game just to release a medioce port.

Well, remember that last generation the PS2 had (by far) the larger install base. The Xbox was tiny compared to it, and Konami could drive lots of sales through the PS2 alone.

The same CANNOT be said for the PS3/360. A simultanous release on both platforms could net them 2-3 (or even more) sales in the long run. Releasing it on the PS3 only, would be the equiv. of releasing the previous generation games on the Xbox... only.

Its the classic catch-22 - do you risk releasing it for the PS3 only, and have it only do a fraction of what it could do because of a low install base... or release it intentionally, knowing that its good enough to sell hardware (and your software) at the same time?

...

And I still haven't seen ANY evidence of the 360 being an inferior machine to the PS3 - if anything, just the opposite.
