MGS5 on the NGP? What? I heard that MGS4 was somewhere around the ball park of 30 Gb. So how can MGS5 follow up with less? Not following on that one. Hmmm, well switching devs isn't going to be too much of a problem if the end justifies the means that is, I guess it should be fine. However, Metal Gear Solid, main story, is an IP that is deep-rooted in Playstation. The reactions/fallout, if this were to actually occur, would be huge, but I doubt it would happen. 

Two words: SOUND COMPRESSION.

Kojima is a sound whore. He wanted uncompressed sound in every part of the game. If MGS4 was really 30 GB, it could be knocked down to about 15 easily. MGS5 that coluld fit on the NGP/3DS is possible/

Wasn't it more like 50GB?

And audio wouldn't take up 35GB, the soundtrack isn't that big either. While a lot of things are uncompressed, the game size is still pretty huge.

15gb is far too big for the 3DS and probably the NGP too.
