No chance, MS would have to pay Konami big bucks and even then they would probably consider it a diservice to japan since they mostly wont want to buy a Kojima game on the Xbox since the PS4 will offer similar but better specs.

OH NO! Japan would be disserviced!?!?!? Somebody tell Japan to deal with it. Western consumers matter more to Konami.

Japanese will buy the games on whatever platform has the games they want. They bought 360s for Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, and they'll buy MS's new machine for Kojima's game.

I do not believe that is entirely true, they do still make Panchiko machines you know ^^. Also Pro Evolution Soccer sells just as well in Japan as it does in EU which is FIFA dominated. So Konami knows their market.

Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 sold more in Japan than the Xbox 360 version. Not sure about Star Ocean 4 not even Lost Odyssey made the Japanese buy the 360. I just really doubt Konami will just forget their fanbase in the Playstation side all of a sudden.

Not saying this because I believe they will do a diservice (hardly) but I just think that's a lot of money they'll be leaving behind.

It doesn't matter if Vesperia or Star Ocean 4 ultimately sold better on PS3. They boosted hardware sales when they released on the 360. The only reason 360 sales weren't better in Japan because MS didn't keep bringing games Japanese consumers enjoy. Japan is a very predictable market.

They aren't leaving money behind if MS's throws money at them. I think that's how it works.
