Official Xbox Magazine says MGS4 will come to Xbox 360 a few months after it debuts on PS3

It’s been rumored all too often, but no matter how many times the makers of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots try to hush the buzz, more reports of the game porting to the Microsoft Xbox 360 are surfacing.

GamePro reports that a trailer for the game in Japan hints of a winter release. That should mean anytime between December and February of this year and the next one. The official Xbox Magazine then says that a reliable source told them that the Xbox 360 version would come “a few months” after the Sony PlayStation 3’s debut of MGS4.

It can be recalled that Konami top cat Kazumi Kitaue was quoted with a statement that fanned the rumor flames at a high point. “Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps,” he said as he pointed to the current install base and sales figures of the PS3.

What do you think? Is it just a matter of time before we see Solid Snake and the rest of the gang on the Xbox 360? Series creator Hideo Kojima described the PS3 as the theatre where he wants the “grand finale” of the MGS series to take place, but will his masterpiece go to the Xbox 360 which he likened to a DVD player? We’ll find out in a few months.
