Hideo Kojima is getting a little be grumpy as lately, asking that people please stop asking him about whether or not Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be coming to the Xbox 360.
"I've been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like 'Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?', and 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," Kojima told Eurogamer.
Pressed on the topic, Kojima said that it would probably not be possible to do a port to the Xbox 360. Metal Gear Solid 4 had been made on the PlayStation 3 because Konami believed that the console was integral to the success of the game and that the engine therefore had been built only with the PS3 architecture in mind.
"But, you know, what kind of disturbs me sometimes, because a lot of people ask me about this PS3/360 question, is that it's not about the hardware - I want people to look at the game itself. Sometimes I even feel like it should be on a PC so that people don't ask me about hardware and platforms," he said.
"If we're talking about the future - not MGS4, but my future titles, if we're referring to that - if the hardware technology rises then obviously, you know, it won't be based on the hardware anymore. Probably I will first create the software and then, um, it's a strange word to say, but port to other hardware if that technological ability rises in all areas."
So; no Metal Gear on the Xbox 360. Disappointed? Let us know in the forums which platform you think is superior.

Thanks for sharing this Kojima news, Engeneer Moris. I imagine if it were to be on 360 it would at least have to be on two discs because I remember reading that the Blu-ray disc was practically too small to fit the entire game. Of course, the 360 also has some great exclusives so both systems are worth getting.
I'm sure there are some readers out there that have yet to get both a PS3 and 360 though... if so you should take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win the system of your choice simply by designing a 6 Hour Power t-shirt. It's surprisingly easy to enter online, and right now there are less than 275 entrants so the odds certainly aren't impossible. You can also win a copy of Rise of the Argonauts and some 6 Hour Power energy shots (which are great for gaming sessions). Check out the details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your post, Engeneer Moris. I work with 6 Hour Power so if any of you have questions feel free to shoot me an e-mail. Let me know if you enter too, and I'll definitely vote for your designs. Good luck.
