It's been pretty well decided it was leftover code from before it went to the 360.

PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

This might be a sign they're developing a PS3 port, or that they were making one back when it looked like the console was going to get a decent userbase, but didn't bother to erase all traces when it became apparent it wasn't going to happen. =/

somebody said this,

"it's default .ini text leftover as it's UE3 based. [or]

It's UE3 based, therefore possible for PS3."

It may not be very similar, but remember the Gears of War on PC rumor that was denied back around the time Gears launched on the 360 because of a Gears.exe settings (or something like that) on an Nvidia driver?

Ding Ding Ding Ding!!! I think he's got it!

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

As a nintendo fan (and video game fanboy who will get all 3 consoles eventually) I must say that I believe we will see Metal Gear Solid on 360 before we see Bioshock on PS3 as porting makes a lot more sense in that direction:

PS3->360 is easier architecture-wise therefore cheaper to do and provide a bigger secondary market whereas 360->PS3 is harder due to Cell and the RAM and VRAM being split and the secondary market is much smaller (even worse when factoring out Japan which is not the target demographic for FPS's).

The only thing that might make it harder to port MGS4 is if Hideo really needs a dual layer Blu-ray AND if it cannot be compressed and/or split like MGS1 was on PS1.

The mentions of "Cell Processor" and the apparition of the sixaxis are weak arguments against it being ported as it would be easy as pie to change it to "It's packing the power of six processors* into one" and a 360 controller (whether or not the motion control is used in the in-game sixaxis).
