The rumors are firing up again as PS3 Fanboy and Destructoid are reporting that they have sources saying a 360 version is in the works, and there are talks of a Wii version of Metal Gear Solid game (not necissarily MGS4).
Not a huge surprise for me, but do you think this is a really significant hit for Sony? Or will is take FFXIII going to other platforms to really hurt Sony?

It has been declared FAKE.
The text used is a blalant copy of an IGN article.

Well apparently Konami has given DToid a C&D which makes their story much more creditable than it was before.

Seriously though,this is easily one of the more persistant rumours ive seen in recent times. Every time konami talks about the game, they mention its still a PS3 exclusive, without even being asked. seems a bit fishy.

Unfortunately, a TON of stupid rumors begin life on forums.

some new news to point towards no longer exclusive...
Quote from reuters news site:
"Kitaue said Konami may need to expand the target hardware for its blockbuster fighting game Metal Gear Solid, which has so far been developed for Sony's PlayStation machines, to other consoles in the future to recoup development costs.
"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," Kitaue said."
Interesting "expand the target hardware" implies greatly
He also says "like to" not we must.

"Konami plans to launch Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PS3 in the current business year to March 2008. "
hmm thats at least a before this date release, note "to march 08."

If its going to come out 360 then it won't be for some time from what it sounds like... Kojima has already said that the game is not being developed for 360 nor will it any time soon... I'm sure Kojima and Konami will look at the sales charts once MGS4 comes out (which is in 07 according to the most recent trailer) they will decide to expand or not... Personally i think MGS4 will get people to buy a PS3, because i know sure as hell it will for me... I seriously don't think MGS4 will jump ship... While Konami has the final say, Kojima has in the past has held some animosity towards MS for MGS2: Substance... Apparently MS did something Kojima didn't like and soon after that it was released on Xbox, Kojima said he would never work with MS again... Like i said Konami has the final say in this but either way if MGS4 is going to the 360 its not going to be for a while...
