PS3 Fanboy

Can you say anything about the music?

There may be a special feature where you can play your own music.

Yay...I can listen to 90s pop music while sneaking up on some folks in MGS4.

I hate to say it. But it looks like MGS4 will EVENTUALLY get to the X360 in the future and not be a 100% PS3 exclusive. Why else in the world would he say "No plans for the 360 FOR NOW." and please don't call me a x360 fanboy, I'm just a videogame fanboy.

MGS should not have a customizeable soundtrack...

I still think the most likely scenario is MGS online for Xbox 360 and PS3. This game has probably already exceeded the 9GB limit for Xbox games. They would have to do some wicked compressing or cut the cutscenes or a few levels to make it fit.

Another console getting the game doesn't mean you'll somehow enjoy the game any less.

Having played MGS2 on Xbox I'll stick with the PS3 MGS4 because if MGS2 for Xbox was any indication MGS4 for Xbox360 (if it eventuates) will be a cash-in, poorly optimised port.

You're correct, it won't hurt our enjoyment of the game. However, games like MGS4 and FFXIII are potential system-movers. If they go cross platform, then Sony loses sales, and us PS3 owners continue to suffer through half-assed ports of X360 games since Sony's marketshare remains low.

Kojima needs to get paid to say "this game will never be released on X360" or something extremely definitive like that. He needs to bury the rumor so Sony can move some consoles.

Part of the reason they keep saying it in such vague ways could have something to do with the fact that they are, surprise, Japanese. If you don't see their answer as a no, it's because you are expecting a Western response.
It's simply part of the culture, and is far more involving that can be explained in a comment here. It basically stems from avoiding confrontation and finality.

Then Kojima walks by and asks him to move his stuff to the basement. While eating some cake from the party.

That's exactly how I see it too. There is a need for exclusives to move the system. I love my PS3 a lot; just as I loved my Dreamcast, and I don’t want to see it take the same route the latter did. And beyond sales I don’t want to see a game be held back from it’s full potential because developers have to try and make the two games on par with one another. I’d rather see the PS3 get pushed to it’s limits, using as much of a Blu-ray as needed, than having a watered down multi-platformer.

Losing exclusives do hurt PS3 players, much like you said, we need system sellers to ensure the PS3 as the lead platform. Even as a Multi-console owner, I still want the PS3 to win, as I believe the 360 is holding back this gen.

i knew this would come up. this rumor has already been mega buried under a mountain in the center of the sun.

TwoTurbo, I think it was just a classically vague video game statement. That way they don't pull a Capcom if they decide MGS4: Substance (or whatever) will be multi-platform like MGS2's expanded re-release was.
