Like I already told you, there are a lot of games not possible on 360 because of the DVD format of the disk. MGS IV is one of them.

~40GB PS3 games - A lot of it is content, a lot of the bigger 360 games use 2 disks which is about 20GB, Sony just has BR instead.


You're kidding right?

Have you played Metal Gear Solid IV? It's not exactly a technical marvel, blurry low resolutions textures are everywhere, from a hardware perspective the Xbox 360 would handle the game just fine as there are games on the Xbox 360 that surpass it easily in terms of image quality. (Remember, the Xbox 360's GPU is superior to the Playstation 3's.)

Also keep in mind that 40Gb worth of game data would include duplicated data in order to optimise latency and throughput on the slower Blu-ray drive.
You could fit the game on 2x DVD's with some decent amounts of compression, which Microsoft used for Halo, that's suddenly not going to make it impossible to have it on the Xbox 360.
Compression can also improve drive throughput too, however you would need to expend CPU cycles for decompression.
