Now on its 20th anniversary, the Metal Gear franchise have definitely made substantial contributions to video games. It’s inevitable that everyone in the gaming industry would want to party in celebration of what defined the stealth genre. In fact, even Xbox Japan‘s general manager Takashi Sensui dropped by.

Before anyone comes up with a conspiracy theory, the head honcho isn’t there to have talks with Hideo Kojima behind the curtains concerning Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the 360. Kotaku claims to have received word from the man, and here’s an interesting snippet from the conversation:

Kotaku: Why are there still rumors that MGS4 will appear on the Xbox 360?
Sensui: What do you mean?
Kotaku: Kojima appeared on stage at a Sony event, saying it was an exclusive. But the rumors won’t stop.
Sensui: Many of our users want MGS4 on the Xbox 360.

When asked if the 360 users will actually get MGS4, Sensui told Kotaku to ask Kojima himself after pointing at the man on stage. What exactly is Xbox Japan’s head honcho doing in the party? “Kojima is an old friend of mine,” he said.
