For years it was thought that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots It was an exclusive game for PlayStation 3 and so far this has been true in some way because it lives only on that console, it has not had a port, remastering, or re-releases. However, this had nothing to do with an agreement between Konami and Sony and even the development team contemplated the possibility of it coming out on Xbox 360 because contrary to what was thought, it ran very well on the console.

A report of Time Extension shared a quote from the post Ultimate History of Video Games: Volume 2 by Ryan Payton, a producer who worked at Kojima Productions during the era of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriotsin which he reveals that the game ran well on Xbox 360. According to the producer, there was some reluctance from the development team to work with Microsoft hardware as they were fans of Sony, so they thought that the delivery of Metal Gear Solid 4 It wouldn’t work on Xbox 360.

However, Payton revealed that Konami’s research and development team carried on their own line of work and at some point brought everyone together to show that the game worked on an Xbox 360, far from the idea Kojima Productions had: “as downtrodden as my colleagues were with PS3 development, most of them were still hardcore Sony fans and were not in favor of wasting resources on such a test. They believed that MGS4 it would look and work terribly on Microsoft’s older, inferior hardware. One fateful day, Konami’s research and development team hosted a meeting where we got to see the fruits of their labor: Metal Gear Solid 4 running beautifully and smoothly on Xbox 360. As one of the few unabashed Xbox fans in the office, I was thrilled.”
Although the evidence was in favor of one version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for Xbox 360, Konami did not approve it due to the disc format used by the console since the weight of the game as a whole had no problem occupying a single Blu-ray on PS3 but in the case of the Microsoft system several would have to be used records and the Japanese company felt that it would not be a good deal.
