This makes sense, handling seven disks for MGS4 alone would be a nightmare... |
But you could copy all of them on the HDD before starting the game, so the ridiculous between chapter installs would be gone.
Also it would need less than 7 discs. They just calculated a 50GB Blu-Ray - a 8GB 360 disc = 6,25.
This release of MGS4 (anniversary edition) is 30GB, so 3.75 discs would be needed.
Remove some languages and compress video and audio (which is always done anyway) and it would easily fit on 3 discs.
EDIT: But that's okay, it's their decision. If they don't think it would be worth it to port the game then we can't do anything. Though there is at least hope for NextBox.
Though it doesn't bother me since I own the game on PS3.

That's probably what he means by too much work.
OT: MGS 4 has some references that wouldn't make sense on the 360.

Certainly not.
Removing languages takes one second (since it's mostly just one big file or folder containing all audio files that needs to be deleted).
Audio files are pretty much always compressed on 360. It wouldn't take "more" work, just as much as all other multiplat (and first party) developers put into their 360 games.
Also the whole process is not even real work since the computer is doing the work, it's just a bit time consuming.
Same for FMVs (though I don't even remember if they are any in MGS4).
The only "work" that would need to be done (apart from the usual porting stuff) is the rearrangement of the data on the discs.
