E3 2009: Metal Gear Solid: Rising is Not an XBox 360 Exclusive

when i read the title of this article i laugh so hard coz 1 day ago a lot of xbox360 fan boy in the youtube and other website is moaning about they going to get the mgsR exclusively and they keep trashin the other console.. now they probably in shock that the game is not only going to xbox360 but to other console too.. lol

Don't blame Hideo so much. If Sony were serious, they could have done whatever it took to keep it PS3 exclusive but clearly they didn't.

Either that or MS did whatever THEY could to get it over to 360.

One thing that it is important to keep in mind and that I've actually seen in some blogs is that to some people MGS Rising coming to 360 means they can pirate the game and play it in their modified consoles, so, in the end the PS3 version will of course net more money to konami since it is still not posible to play backups on it.

I guess that is also why MGS4 won't come to 360, It might have sold a bit of copies but in the end the cheapskates would just pirate it.

The PS3 version probably netted enough money for Kojima Pro that they can develop 3 games at the same time and I fully expect MGS5 to come exclusively to PS3 if the piracy rate of MGS Rising on 360 gets big enough so, to all 360 fans please don't be a cheapskate and buy the game if you want the next episode of the franchise in your console.

Indeed fanboys are annoying I laughed at my friend who is a PS3 fanboy because he was so mad over it. I personally think Konami will get their butts kicked again however.

Has anyone stopped and considered why konami made MGS3 and 4 PS3 only? Clearly they put MGS2 on the xbox as well as the PS2 so why would they put the other 2 on Sony's console only? Because 1: it sold a hell of a lot better on PS since the PS1 and.. 2: Exclusives can make more money then multi-platform games most of the time.

Many people are like what? I thought multi-platform games made more money. Well here's the thing about that, people lean more toward exclusives then multi-platform games. Why? Because in the history of games exclusives have blown the multi-ports out of the water, In not only graphics but also game play and presentation.

A perfect example of this is inFAMOUS. Although the game was great do you really think with prototype and red faction coming out that it would stand a chance regardless of if it's game play is better? No, no it wouldn't. I my self planned on getting red faction but I saw that inFAMOUS was a exclusive, I knew the game had a 70% chance of being better then it looked and I took a gamble and won. Had it not been exclusive I would have went with red faction over it.

So in regards of money I really think Konami will lose on this like they did with MGS2. Not saying they shouldn't have gone multi-platform because I am glad that everyone will get to see the story of the game now. But it's going to lose them money.

Any information about relase date ?
