Metal Gear Solid 4 Coming to Xbox 360

According to XboxFamily, Metal Gear Solid 4 will be coming to the Xbox 360 within 12 to 14 months after the PS3 version hits retail this spring. The information comes from a Konami representative while speaking at an undisclosed distribution meeting, says XboxFamily.

"No, the rep will not be named, but this is pretty concrete," reports the fansite. "This is not a rumor."

Microsoft then provided a long-winded response to XboxFamily on leaking rumors and announcements before ending with "no comment."

In November, Konami's Ryan Payton told Reuters, "if you want to play Metal Gear Solid 4, you have to buy a PS3."

Though unconfirmed, the rumor makes sense. In 2005, Capcom released Resident Evil 4 on PS2, a year after the once-exclusive GameCube game hit stores, as Nintendo failed to sell a satisfactory number of consoles. Similarly, Sony has so far been unable to meet sales expectations of the PS3.
