Either way, this was announced just a little previously on a live stream of E3...
Oh snap.Another nail in PS3 coffin. I swear if MGS4 comes to the 360 now, I will sell my PS3.
Edit- Look like XIII Versus will stay a PS3 exclusive......for now.
^ Someone at the GameFAQs boards said that it was a thermonuclear bomb on Sony, and I have to agree, this is not good news for Sony! Not that I'm really upset or nothing.
This is certainly an 'ouch' for Sony, but it won't kill the PS3, not only due to Metal Gear, but also Japan. FFXIII is still on PS3, and FF is still popular in Japan, and the 360 still is failing in Japan, so Sony's not going anywhere.
Still, I'm not liking this, not because I'm a Sony fanboy (I don't have a PS3 yet, and have a 360) but because Microsoft have been doing things just to hurt Sony.
"LMFAO" <------ My thoughts when I saw this on Kotaku =)
Ouch indeed. Doesn't bother me since I have both and wanted my PS3 for MGS4, this and others. Sony better man up. 
I sense a great disturbance in the Sony Defense Force. It was like a million voices crying out in unison, then suddenly silenced.
And many epic LULZ were had.
Well Veckums it seem that they aren't as silenced as you think. They already have made a foolish petition to SE to make the game a PS3 exclusive again.
it's devil may cry 4 all over again
Why on the 360 though? Surely because Square caters to the Japan fanbase only it would have on the Wii.
And how Xboxes in Japan were bought and NOT used as doorsteps? o.o
Square is already catering for the Japanese market with the PS3 release. First of all the Wii would be incredibly dumbed down from the PS3 version due to the obvious hardware limitations, and secondly by releasing to 360 they've opened up a much bigger market share in the West than they could ever have done on the PS3 alone.
The gaming industry is old enough now that companies realise that income comes from appeasing the global market, not just the local one.

Any to all companies making big budget titles for next gen systems cannot aford to care about only one market, that's why it's on 360 in the west, that's why it's PS3 only in Japan (or so the trailer claims.)
Damn. Oh well, at least I can still get it. =D PS360 for the win
It's actually kind of ironic considering the PS/2 were where all the great RPG games were...now a lot more of them are going to the 360 (Star Ocean 4, Infinite Discovery...etc) so it doesn't bother me. Sony will have to counter...lol
Too bad the 360 still suffers quite a bit from RROD or I would have bought one...
Please don't tell me people were only buying the PS3 for FF or MGS...
In other 360 news: Portal: Still Alive is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, the 360 version of Fallout 3 will have exclusive DLC and the Dashboard update is made of epic win.

It's a thin Johnny Vegas! :O

Because they can make money from shovelware or wiiware for less effort

The newer 360s have less chance of rrod than the older stocks, and yes some people were...
They RROD less now? I wonder what the failure rate is now.
Yea...Microsoft is sticking it to them. People who bought a PS3 for DMC4, MGS4, and FFXIII...must really feel like losers. Just saying...lol
But on a for real note. It is odd to see it on the 360, but obviously the Wii version would have to be so dumbed it wouldn't even be worth it. I'm very surprised to see this go to a Microsoft system though. My how the times have changed. lol This is good though...like, who knows what the future may hold. I'd say exclusive isn't as strong a word as it used to be, which is what I want to see.
I have a feeling that's it's only of matter of time until MGS4 comes to the 360; of course, I wouldn't recommend anyone to hold their breath for this to happen nor for someone to hold their breath that it won't happen.
I bought a PS3 just for Metal Gear Solid 4, and I don't regret it.
And no, I'm not in denial.
I don't understand this mentality. More FF for everyone, but the Sony fanboys are complaining because they can't keep it to themselves?! Square-Enix extends an olive branch to the jRPG crowd that chose 360, and PS3 fanatics cry foul!?
The issue isn't even about how many discs it'll have to come on or how "dumbed down" the game would have to be, it's blind console worship like this that confuses and INFURIATES us!
Drama's fun to watch, though. *sips soda*

Hahaha! On a microwave. Wow. But really...I think the Sony FF players used to feel special because they got all the Squenix glory with it's master series. Now that another system has that flagship title, the war begins. Seriously...this puts a whole new meaning on console wars. It'll be a silent war though...non televised hopefully. Blood makes me squirmish.
>_>
They said it'll come out the same time as the PS3 version...
...which means it'll take even longer to come out because they'll have to adapt it for the 360 as well!
Heh, yes. That's right. Oh well...people will wait. What else can they do?
Import!
and fail to understand a single word of it
EDIT: Oh, and at time of writing the Sony conference is starting. Let's see if they can counter this or whether Microsoft take the show (what with Ninty's lackluster offering)
Import indeed. Import they shall. =P But yes Sony conference. *watches with uncertain eyes*
I think the Sony conference did okay. Nothing really outstanding, but that massive action game thing they talked about looks incredible, if it's worth its' hype. 256 players? I'll take a 256-player shooter over a new final fantasy any day, if it doesn't lag to hell and back.
Whatever your opinion of the news is, it has spawned what has to be the single funniest YouTube video of the year, fake or not.
Oh good lord. XD
At least I don't have to dish out too much extra cash for FFXIII now. Phew.
Watched about 10 seconds of that video than the guy's voice got annoying and I had to close it!
His voice made my ears bleed. 
And what is it with online nerds' fascination with Japanese culture but their lack of excitement of whatever culture their ancestors practiced?
Yea his voice. Umm...no. lol But I find it funny how youtube has turned into...like...1st Amendment to the extreme. I like it...freedom in action. =P
Well, before anyone gets too carried away it should be noted that this video is a product of someone who frequents the Something Awful forums. More than likely this is merely an attempt to troll... well, everyone I guess.

It has to be, his voice is so put on.

ROFL, Squall
LOL that was hillarious.....poor FF cast there family is being ripped apart, how could you do this square, how! lol.
