hrld161: not true at all, metal gear games are published by konami, not sony, like the way microsoft publishes gears of war, halo, and ninja gaiden. those games will not come to a competitor's console, but any 3rd party published game can very easily be done once the "timed exclusivitiy" period is up.
think gta3 on playstation > xbox 6 months later, unreal tournament 3, sony paid millions to not release on 360 for 6 months.
another couple facts, metal gear solid 2 and 3 came out on xbox, and metal gear solid 1 came out on the pc published by microsoft.
konami would have to be dumb to not port their game over to where the high attach rate gamers are and make some real money.
