No, it isn't as easy as simply recompiling your code for the new architecture, but there isn't anything like magical dust that would prevent them from doing so or making it near impossible to do from a business standpoint. If they want to, they will, and there is a big enough 360 market to make it worth their while. Remember, for businesses, there is no such thing as enough profits.

Anyway, I wonder if it would be worth the effort to port the game? I think MGS4 is already profitable for Konami. It’ll probably take alot of engineering to make a good port to 360.

Either that, or we'd be looking at 3+ discs. Maybe a disc per act. I’m just curious how much of the game they’d have to ‘dumb down’ to put it on the 360. Either that, or we’d be looking at 3+ discs.

That's really the only reason. I tend to enjoy the xbox360 games more and the library is bigger. I;m planning on buying the PS3 since I can do dual purpose with Blu-ray.

If this game gets a 360 release, that's it.
