Wow - after reading this 10 page diatribe, I've come to a couple of conclusions:
1. There aren't many Metal Gear fans here...but there are lots of Sony and Microsoft fans...isn't that wierd
2. Those who argue either side that it either "will be ported" or "won't be ported" are arguing soley speculation - both sides have good arguements (though I tend to stick with the side that argues that "businesses are out to make money...and if it means making money...they'll do anything) - but neither knows anything that the other one doesn't
3. The MG fans who are here, like to argue about the outstanding quality and joygasm over MG as a system seller...blah blah blah...wah wah wah....Look
I'm the biggest Metal Gear Fanboy there ever was....but dressing up a dog in a dress doesn't make you a prom date (unless your waaaayy country) - Metal Gear as a series has had it's up's and downs. And the ups are way UP and the downs are pretty dismal - don't believe me...look at MGS2 vs Halo sales numbers....and explain to me how a burgening franchise on a new consoles DESTROYED a "system seller" - let me tell ya....that sure as shit wouldn't happen with Mario!
Metal Gear is a great series, and surely....the latest iteration will be another gem (come on god...daddy wants another MG3 (you know...MG2- sans all contrived, preachy Nuclear proliferation speaches...oh...and leave out all the incest)
- me being the fanboy...I could care less which console it debuts on (I got both...or all 3....whatever), I just want it out...like...yesterday!
