Now this just goes to show you just can’t keep a good rumour down.. It is quite obvious that is Microsoft pretty keen on getting a huge title like Metal Gear Solid 4 onto the Xbox 360.

More after the jump. Why wouldn't Konami release it for Xbox 360, especially if Microsoft is actually right and the machine can handle the demands of the games engine. The way I see it, the exclusivity has done it's job. Many PS3's were sold and everyone at Sony is happy.

It makes perfect business sense and will almost literally double the sales of the game, if not more when they open it up to a new market. Exclusives are starting to get on my nerves. Look at Bioshock, it is now being released on PS3 a year after the Xbox 360 version and those developers and publishers can look forward to a huge amount of sales for a lot less effort than it would require to completely build another game.

A Konami PR man has been quoted as stating the following about MGS4 “We’re actively looking into a release …

The question that gets a lot of fanboys hot under the collar has also started to irritate Hideo Kojima himself. While speaking to Eurogamer he mentions “in the near future I hope they’ll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware,” So that’s not a denial, is this a glimmer …
