Sometimes being exclusive is better for a franchise.


Thing is, the only exclusive game of this franchise is MGS4. Metal Gear started on a Microsoft system, followed by Sony consoles and then it also went to PC and Nintendo platforms.


Well this is partially true.

Metal Gear Solid was released exclusively on PS1 in September on 1998. PC in September of 2000. At worst, MGS1 was a console exclusive(PS1).
MGS2 was a timed exclusive with the Xbox and PC version coming out a year later. I would agree that MGS2 was not full console exclusive.
MGS3 was only released on PS2 in the generation. Sony exclusive.
MGS4 was we all know is a full PS3 exclusive.


Twin Snakes was a full remake on a console in the next generation. It does not negate that MGS1 was a console exclusive during it's commercial lifespan. That would be like saying Resident Evil Remake retro-actively voids the GCN version being an exclusive.
