MGS4 Still Being Built On PS3 Hardware

Will it or won't it? Speculation is that Metal Gear Solid 4 is getting an eventual port from the PS3 to the Xbox 360. A MGS4 port would be a damning blow to the PS3, which has already lost exclusives like once Sony exclusives Grand Theft Auto and Devil May Cry. During a recent Kojima Productions Report podcast, Konami's Ryan Payton stated:

I can tell you honestly at this point, we have not changed the game in any form with the idea of 'oh, we got to do this on 360.' Put aside whether or not we're developing for 360 or not, the game is built on the PS3 hardware, as you guys have known for the past two years or so.

With MGS4 married to PS3 hardware, designed to fit on a Blu-ray disc and the MGS movie being made by Sony Pictures, I'll be surprised if the game ends up on the Xbox 360. There's also Kojima telling Plunkett in April, "MGS4 is aimed for the movie theatre, it's aimed for the PS3, so the game's scenario and graphics need this theatre-type hardware. It's when a producer has a game that can work on the 'DVD level' that a game will go multiplatform." But, if could happen. Anything could.
