I disagree. Let's be honest here, the differences between consoles are minuscule.
MGS4 can't fit on a DVD? Well duh, that's what happens when you don't compress files like audio properly. Stuff ends up taking more space than it actually needs to.
"One last silliness: The MGS series should be Sony Playstation exclusive, and shouldn't be available on any other gaming consoles.
Now this is just silly. I have always figured, the more players the better. A great game should be made available to everybody. Ideally, a good game should be playable on every single existing game console. It's unrealistic of course, that's why I said ideally.
There's this very reasonable argument about this, stating that multi-platforming would lead to the annoyance of gamers of different consoles putting down all the other consoles. This is actually completely foreseeable as what definitely will happen. But this annoyance isn't more annoying than the insistence that the game should be Sony exclusive. The silliness is the same."-Muni Shinobu

Kojima Pro. didn't compress any of the audio files because this was suppose to be the era of HD that of all things 360 highly promoted.
I think uncompressed audio files are over kill though.
But the real reason this isn't being ported to 360 is because it was optimized for PS3 and it take to much work to port to 360.

The 360 will need 6 DVD disc to fit MGS4.

I want MGS to be Sony-exclusive mainly because I think Microsoft's consoles are utter crap. Then again, Sony already kills in the exclusives department so it won't be a total loss.

They would need to remake some of the game because it references the Ps1, ps3 , psp, dualshock, ipod, bluray and more stuff.

Agreed. MGS should never be on Xbox.

But it is on Xbox anyway. MGS HD Collection and people can easily access MGS1 on their PC. The only real meaningful moments in MGS4 are the final cutscenes IMO. They aren't missing much.

Lol 1 game gets made as an exclusive and suddenly every fanboy thinks they should own the entire franchise.
Watch MGS5 be a PC exclusive.

Who gives a fudge anymore? Any serious console gamer worth their salt in 2012 (almost 2013) owns both consoles now.

Why should I own both consoles? I used to have a 360. I had TWO games for it. Nowadays a lot of what's popular is on both consoles, and I consider Sony's exclusives to be miles ahead of Microsoft's, so why should I own both consoles again?

You weren't looking hard enough for them, as evidenced by your admission that you only care about "what's popular."

Then that's why you become a big boy and pay for it yourself, just like I did.
I'm so cool!

the real reason why mgs4 cant appear on the 360 isnt because of harware limitations (though it is an issue) or even copy right stuff... all these things can be adjusted to make it playable on the 360...
the real reason is because of microsoft themselves.
you see, msoft has a policy that they wont allow any game that appeared on the ps3 first to appear on the 360 later... they believe it sets a bad precedent and they think it will make their console look inferior. (when really, nobody cares) msoft has to always be the first. this applies to all content, even DLC.
THAT is why mgs4 will never appear on the 360... that is unless msoft changes their policy.
if sony had this policy, then the ps3 would never had gotten the gta dlc or bioshock and among others...
