[Rumor] MGS4 no longer exclusive?!?!

Why?
They're selling out, although not as fast as the Wii is, and mainly because people try to sell them on eBay, but they're still selling out.
Sony is losing something like $106 on the $600 model and some $200+ on the $500 model as well. So yeah, I doubt they'd be that hard pressed for sales to bring about a price drop so early in the hardware's life cycle.

The Xbox360 might drop in price before Halo 3 is shipped though. It'd be a very bold move on Microsoft's part, but you just KNOW that there are hundreds of thousands of people out there waiting on Halo 3 to get a 360.

Either way, I wasn't surprised when I first read about MGS4 possibly going to the 360 when Joystiq reported it. In fact, I'd be more surprised if the new MGS game didn't get some kind of gaiden treatment with some new missions like the Subsistence and Substance of its predecessors.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No kidding.
In fact, I'm planning on getting a PS3 because of Metal Gear 4. Seriously. If it goes on the 360 then I'll probably just settle for that system when I do buy another console.
