Best post of the thread, as far as I'm concerned. Business is complicated and definitely not as simple as more platforms = more sales. If that were the case, Wiiu would have gotten a port as well.

I agree also. There are a lot of factors to consider.

But even though 1 game might lose them money, it could be worth it long term by establishing the franshise on a console. MGS has had a disjointed past on Xbox. If Konami keep releasing MGS games on the Xbox, they might actually build up a fanbase and earn more money in the long term than they could recieve off of Sony to be exclusive.

That's a great point. I completely agree with you.
