Yes, Sony doesn't deserve respect , let's overlook the fact that they've massivley contributed to modern console gaming ( more so than Microsoft certainly ) more so than the vast majority of gaming comapnies , let's ignore the success of the PS1 , PS2, PSP , PS3 (at least marketshare wise) and the wealth and diversity of 1st ,2nd ,3rd party support Sony has brought onto it's gaming platoforms.

The playstation brand is synonymous with gaming and Kojima does respect that , it's just that everyone respects money more.

Frankly, by most of the logic employed in this thread, Kojima is showing great respect to gamers.

Even if the game is Xbox 360 exclusive, he is offering it too a far greater number of gamers than if it had been PS3 exclusive.

Not really. It would be best if it was multiplat (which I'm 99% sure it is), but if it was PS3 exclusive, the people who had been fans of MGS would be able to play it. You can't do a simple userbase calculation because MGS:R would sell less on 360 than PS3, and thus fewer people would enjoy it.

The reason I didn't want MGS4 to be multiplat was because Kojima had said quite clearly on several occasions that MGS4 was never going to the 360. He would be going back on his word, and I hate it when developers do that. I'm fine with future MGS games being multiplat, more people get to play them, Kojima gets more money. As long as I can play it on my PS3, and it's not gimped because of multiplat development, I'm happy. In fact, Kojima said future MGS games would (probably) be multiplat around a year ago.

Yes, he did. I can't believe what a fucking tool Kojima-sama turned out to be. It's like he doesn't care about the console warz at all or something!

I don't know if you guys know anything about Japanese culture, but I'm an expert...

I know that Japan is Games.

Is that enough to comment on the subject?

Didnt bother reading all these post but is it possible that Kojima wanted to stick with PS3 but heads of Konami forced him otherwise? ..maybe its Konami and not Kojima is a tool.

Possibly when Kojima was up their for MS E3 inside he felt so fake and used.

..or maybe Konami has Kojima's family hostage lol

Not really, all they did was sit back with a popular console and let third parties do all the work. If they deserved any of the praise that was given to them they wouldn't have screwed up so bad with the PS3. So yes, lets ignore the market share because the fact that they got screwed so badly by the Wii and Xbox 360 is proof that they just got in on name recognition with the PS2.

Tease.

Saying that the other MGS games were on other systems is irrelevant. MGS1 was ported a generation later by Silicon Knights, and MGS2 substance was a test to see how MGS would perform on the XBOX(it failed, and the result was MGS3 being PS2 exclusive). MGSR is the first Metal Gear Solid title to be released day and date on multiple consoles.
