Whether mgs4 is active or passive entertainment is not the issue. The issue is : were those who purchased the game entertained? If the answer to that is yes the Kojima wins and all other arguement is for nothing.
On the issue of cutscenes though, for all the previous mgs games, I only watched the cutscenes to follow the story while my cousins played because I suck at sneaking. Mgs4 is a revolution for me because I beat the game with my run and gun style and still got to enjoy my story and cutscenes! win-win all the way!

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
