Anyone with an ear to the ground wouldn't be expecting MGS4 before 2008, but that report doesn't quite confirm it from Konami themselves.

As for the second report, I fully expect a 360 port in the same vein as the Xbox MGS2 ports (i.e. later and probably not as good), but again, that report isn't close to confirmation.

MGS4 is going to be released on the 360? Are there going to be ANY major ps3 only releases then..?

MGS4 was one of the very few reasons I was set on a ps3 over a 360.

Umm

That link about it being 'for 360' was yet another quote from Konami saying it's being made for the PS3 when asked if it was coming to 360. Don't see what that has to do with anything.

They've consistently said it's a PS3 game being made specifically for the PS3. The only thing is that they haven't denied it would come to 360 at some later date, but they've never suggested it either.

I expect it to be as much a PS3 game as the previous ones were PS2 games - there'll probably be a half assed port to other machines at some point in the future but it'll be completely inconsequential at that time.

Microsoft may pull a fast one yet, those sly devils.

Not this late in the development. They'd need to go back to square one.

TBH I thought it was inevitable that it would be put back. I'd prefer a quality game that I would have to wait for, rather than a half-assed game now.

Sure. The third largest publisher in the world is developing exclusively for PS3, at least

I'm not sure what the big deal is. MGS2 was ported to Xbox, I don't see this as being any different. It's still not official, of course, but I can see it happening.

Dont be at yourself

Still though, Kojima has always been one to embrace the cutting edge of technology - from the dual shock to analogue buttons - so I wouldn't be surprised if some features were unportable.
