Complete U-turn: MGS4 does a 360?

The folks over at 1Up are stirring up quite a brew in the PS3 and Xbox 360 blog-o-spheres. It’s kind of like taking skeletons out of the closet and fanning them out to dry for the whole neighborhood to see. Pulling a stunt like this will surely cause heads to turn and people’s jaws to drop in a disfigured manner.

What are we talking about here? Well, the new EGM has this on the cover: “Metal Gear Solid 4 on Xbox 360?” While we do know that Hideo Kojima said a year ago that this wouldn’t happen, what could be EGM’s reason to bring this old issue out in the open again? What evidence do they have to support this? It could be possible though, considering that MGS2 eventually came to the original Xbox, but more than this… How do we know that Solid Snake‘s doing a 360?

Should both the PS3 and 360 communities be reacting violently/enthusiastically about this? We’re picturing something like:

• PS3 fan: No! That can’t be! MGS is ours! It’s exclusive to Sony!
• 360 fan: Go, Kojima! Come over to the dark side!
• Wii fan: I want my Cooking Mama!

So, what’s your take on this, guys? How well-supported could this rumor be? We want comments from both sides of the coin. We know that this sort of thing could be a flame bait, so please, let’s be civil here.
