Sony sends flowers and cake to MGS event

Flowers are a great way of saying "I love you." Or is it, "I want you to stay exclusive to my console platform." The Metal Gear Solid 20th Anniversary event was littered with gifts from Sony. There were these beautiful flowers from Kaz Hirai (pictured, left). In addition, Sony baked a cake for the event (pictured, right).

As Kotaku points out, there's a lot of Sony love with Metal Gear Solid. Let's not forget that Metal Gear movie that's supposedly being handled by Sony. Or the new Metal Gear phone, also designed by Sony. With all of these slight nudges in Sony's favor, why was there any doubt that the game would launch as a PS3 exclusive?
