again, you're reading out of context. I think Konami granted exclusivity for much more reasons besides these product placements (which i explained up top and many times before). The product placements only solidifies PS3 exclusivity, if you still don't see where I'm going with this then I'd say that you're blinded by your own confusion.

How exactly does a few product placements solidify exclusivity?

I don't think anyone understands what I'm trying to say in this thread.... Look:

Product placements (cell processor, Dualshock 3, Sony cellphones, PSP, BluRay) = Sponsor = Sony = $$$ = 3d party exclusive.

^ + more $$$ + dev funding + marketing support + hardware bundling around the world = lock down exclusive.

ok, i think i get what your trying to say. sony is seccuring exclusivity of mgs4 through numerous product placements which in effect is actually helping konami lower production cost of the game.  it like an x deal. konami gets lots of cash from sony in the form of payments for product placement, royalties for exclusivity and ensured x amount of sales of mgs4 thourgh the mgs4 ps3 bundle (naturaly, sony would be buying the game from konami to put into their budle), plus konami gets some advertising from sony, again in the form of the ps3 mgs4 bundle.

on the other hand, sony gets exclusivity (timed or just for this gen is up in the air), product placements (their se phone line, psp) which will help push their other products, plus the ps3 mgs4 bundle.

it would seem that konami got more out of the deal than sony did. but in each of these company's perspective, they got what they need. konami got funding plus compensations to what ever profit they could have made by going multi plus they also get free advertising from sony. sony gets an exclusive aaa (probably) game which they believe will help tilt the market in their favor. 

just correct me if i'm mistaken.
