Metal Gear Solid coming to the Xbox 360 soon?

Gaming

Konami sure knows how to cause a stir. An update to the official Konami’s Kojima Productions website seems to suggest that Metal Gear Solid may finally make its way to the Xbox 360. We will admit that this might be a bit of stretch but the black and green coloring of the symbol-filled website is reminiscent of the colors used to advertise the Xbox 360. The Universal symbol for Power, which is prominently displayed on the front of the Xbox 360, is now front and center on Konami’s website. Rumors that the Playstation exclusive title will jump ship to the Xbox platform have been floating around for a while now, so such an announcement is not completely unexpected. Wild speculation continues to run rampant though, with Kotaku interpreting the “i” to mean iPhone, DSi, or Wii. The upside down “i” is used in PSP-based Metal Gear Acid so the new announcement may be related to that game and not the console version, Metal Gear Solid. Kotaku also points out that the URL contains the phrase “mgst” which could mean Metal Gear Solid Touch? Konami has been silent on the matter saying that it does not comment on speculation and apologized for providing only the “standard line” as a response. All we can deduce with some degree of certainty is that Konami has something new on the horizon for the Metal Gear franchise and it wants everyone to start talking about it. We will happily oblige them. Any gamers out there? Feel free to chat this up in the comments – additional rampant speculation is not only welcome, it is expected.

    The xbox 360 is not a poor mans ps3, i choose to play the xbox 360 because i had the original xbox i like it more than the ps2, and on a further note i couldnt see why a ps3 was amazing, its basically a psp just beefed up for a big tv, and metal gear to the xbox is jus puttin a bigger simle on ma face

  • ????? a computer equipped with enough hardware can outrun any game for any platform…

    Ok. So, I can only assume after reading the posts I have that some people are upset, others excited. I think we can all meet on common ground when I say this. What ever is going to happen, in the long run everyone is going to be happy at least a little bit. Think of it. All you PS3 fan-boys who LOVE MGS won’t have to argue with your 360 counterparts because now they can play it themselves and see how remarkable it is. And you 360 fan-boys, or the “poor men” group. If they do jump platforms, you will now be part of a universally known franchise. Congratulations. Either way you look at it though, no one is going to be 100% happy. There is no point in complaining either. So, you guys might as well pinch your nose and swallow. Something is going to happen and no matter how much you complain, it won’t change it. Look at it as a period of evolution, not a time to complain about your favorite title expanding it’s horizon or your least favorite system dumping it’s crap on another. PS3=360. All that matters is who prefers what type of game. I own a 360, but I would like a PS3 too. Maybe one day they will have a PS360. Who knows. All I’m saying is to not complain about it, because we could ALL be wrong. So, what ever happens, you might as well go with the flow. Unless you KNOW the head of the corporation, nothing is going to change. Hopefully I have changed your minds about being system bias though.

    Just thought I’d post this from the 3RD site I found when I GOOGLED PS3 SALES FIGURES. =) Enjoy PS3 HATERS.

    PS3 Sales Figures in 2008 might surprise you.So the PS3 is going no where right? It’s failed to compete with Microsoft and Nintendo, Right? I mean that’s what you would believe from reading the writings of numerous analysts and technology blogs. So you might be a little surprised to read that the PS3 sold almost as many units 10.77 million as the xbox 360 did last year (10.8 million). If Sony managed to pull that off considering that Microsoft are practically giving the damn things away, then I think the future of Sony’s console is far rosier that some people want you to think.

  • stay on the topic plz not ps or xbox

    yeah only fanboys will care about what u jus posted but really i only hav a xbox 360 and would like to have a ps3 but when i bought the 360 i was looking at all the games i would have to play so w/e u think about which ever1 doesnt really matter as long as u can play what u wanna play on what u got

    and i h8 to say it but i think its only 4 the apple products

  • jonathan

    what i dont understand is how some people can be so offended by this. i mean i’m a mgs fan but i have a 360, if they put mgs4 on the 360 so what? just because you guys like having the mgs games on ps3 doesnt mean u have to not share games. i think it would be a great idea if konami port’s the mgs series to the 360 it will make alot of money.

  • http://www.mgs.com jordan

    MGS4 is one of the best games ever made. And if it were to come out on the 360…so what!!!
    the only people who dont want it to be rereleased on a different platform is thoughs SELFISH PS3 lovers who wont be able to accept the fact that a playstation hero was once again making a rare apperance on a different system. its not the end of the world…besides MGS4 more-or-lss ends the fortold story on solid snakes adventure and konami want the metal gear franchise to liv forever…

  • Joe

    IT’S MGS TOUCH!!!

  • Senpai

  • l4d dt-Emperor

    come on, am i the only one who sees that the green power symbol is EXACTLY the same color and style of the 360′s power button, only its presented vertically, rather than horizontally. i lay my 360 on its side, so the air can actually move through the unit. But alot of picture adverts of the 360 are the unit standing, which WOULD make the power symbol look just like in this pic.

  • roy

    maybe Konami wanted to put MSG on a better system 360 doesnt suck plus on gameconsole ratings the 360 came above ps3 while ds coming first wii 2nd and ps3 even got pwned by ps2 it came above it too 1.st ds 2nd wii 3rd 360 4th ps2 5th ps3 lol im pretty sure i got it wrong but ps2 and 360 came above ps3 but ps3 might go above other thnx to its ps3 slim and it cheaper price
