Metal Gear Solid 4 has always been believed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive due to the limitations of the Xbox 360, but it’s something that has never been proven. Until now. In “The Ultimate History of Video Games Vol 2” by Steven L. Kent, assistant producer Ryan Payton has stated that there was no exclusivity deal to make Metal Gear Solid 4 appear only on Sony’s console<\/strong>. The decision by Konami<\/a> was solely based on the choice of disc format for the Microsoft console.<\/p>\n\n\n

While Sony decided to fully embrace Blu-ray for the PlayStation 3 by including an integrated Blu-ray player in the console, Microsoft took a more cautious approach with the Xbox 360 by including a standard DVD drive and offering a separate HD DVD add-on. As we all know, the format war was ultimately won by Blu-ray, giving Sony the upper hand and positioning the PlayStation 3 as a multimedia platform<\/strong> in addition to a gaming console, thanks to its larger storage capacity compared to its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
