Simmer down. The only thing that I've claimed is that Sony paid or had a deal with Konami to get their products in the game. The details regarding MGS4-PS3 exclusivity is unknown to the public but I'd like to believe that Sony had a part in funding MGS4 dev, helping to market and promote the game, and bundling the game with hardware in exhange for exclusivity. I'm only referring to the Sony product placement as a deeper confirmation of exclusivity and how deep Sony got their hands in MGS4 (which is a good thing for PS3 only owners). I personally think it's a win-win for Sony since they get their products promoted and keeps a firm grip on MGS4.
