Untill sony can sell more consoles, all devs will be eyeing up the 360 port to make more money. Just simple buissness logic. Halo 3 will sell enough alone on the 360 to keep it exclusive.

Halo 3 is published by MGS (Microsoft Game Studios).  It is Vista/360 exclusive.  MGS4 has a chance of going to the 360 if it fails to sell well on the PS3 (which won't happen).

unless you're counting going to the PC as causing Halo 3 to be a timed exclusive, then this is a pretty silly poll.  Hmm, first party microsoft game versus third party series that's been on multiple platforms in the past.

Halo 3 will go to the PC, no doubts, but the only console it'll be on is the 360.

MGS4 might also go to the 360, depending on how it does on the PS3.

Halo3 is guaranteed timed exclusive (going to PC at some point in time). MGS it all depends on how it pans out on the PS3 but dont expect it to hit X360 anytime soon or in the same year as the orginal release.

Halo 3 cannot physically go to the Playstation 3.  MGS4: Guns of Patriots most likely will be ported.

i disagree.  considering whos in charge, they would rather have mgs4 be a commercial failure than "lower themselves" to the american console.  its got a better chance of being on pc.

btw, expect halo 3 to be on pc sometime in 2010 (literally).

Super Mario Galaxy is more likely a timed exclusive than Halo3.

Halo 3 WILL be on the PC, its a matter of when, not if, but will not go on other consoles unless for some reason Microsoft stops its console division. While MGS is a thrid party game (which makes it instantly more likely to appear on another console), I don't really know if the 360 audience would like it. They already have Splinter Cell which is a similar game, and a lot of its games are shooter wth lots of gore. Gamers that like those kinds of games (which is a lot of 360 owners) will be too impatient with MGS4's gameplay. An MGS game is more likely to go to a nintendo console IMO than the 360, even if the graphics will be downgraded.

But regardless, the PS3 isn't doing all that bad at the moment and has heaps of exclusives coming at the end of the year which will push units, so I don't think sales will be that big an issue since Resistance and Motorstorm have done well sales wise.

You do understand that for games like MGS4 and FF13, there is NOTHING stopping them from getting to 360, while Halo 3 would never appear on PS3, so that ends the thread i guess

BTW FF13 is definatly a 360 game now, Square went all out multiplatform !!!

Halo3 will go to PC... probably by the end of next year. MGS4 has a very slight chance of going to 360. But really after what Kojima said, I seriously doubt it. MGS games have always been made to take full advantage of the hardware and the only port atempt was MGS2 with ran bad and sold poorly.

Halo is the property of MS game studios where as MGS isn't owned by sony and thus could end up on any console for that matter.

Well I would say MGS, because there is still some hope that it will go to the 360. Whereas Halo going to PS3 or Wii :P is another question.

How can MGS4 sell well if no one is buying PS3's?

True, but the chances are lower, Halo 2 was delayed on purpose, could of been released on PC 2 years ago, they saved it for this crappy vista marketing strategy, which is pissing PC gamers off so much, because there is no LAN mode, its like the Xbox LIVE .. utter crap, I wouldnt mind the LIVE features, but removing LAN and possible dedicated servers? they can goto hell and will fail miserable on the PC doing this.

If Halo 3 follows suit, it would flop even if it was GOTY >>

Both. Halo 3 will boost up sales this holiday, and MGS4 will, most likely, do the same.

This thread is stupid. Halo 3 on another console is like Mario being on the PS3 and 360. Impossible. Microsoft own Halo. So silly. o_o

While MGS, that's possible, since it's a third party game. However, Metal Gear Solid titles are rarely ported. If Microsoft was gonna get a MGS game, it would be a new one. Just look at the cube, it never got the main ones. Instead it got a remake made from the ground up. Kojima just doesn't like porting stuff.

or the thread didnt clarify CONSOLE only, and its safe to assume it will be on the PC, therefor timed exclusive.

The rest of the series were timed exclusives, so Halo 3 will almost certainly be one, too.

It'll probably be out on Vista sooner rather than delaying it for 2+ years, as MS really need a big-hitter to sell Vista.

I didn't know the butchered halo 2 on pc because I was never going to buy it as I have played it to death on the xbox. If they sell a substandard product with all the quality fps on pc it will flopp hard despite the name.

Where is the third option for "neither"? Neither of these are going multiplat.  

Untill sony can sell more consoles, all devs will be eyeing up the 360 port to make more money. Just simple buissness logic. Halo 3 will sell enough alone on the 360 to keep it exclusive.XYZVector

MGS4 isn't going to go multiplat, regardless of how well the 360 sells. Kojima is probably taking the PS3s install base as a challenge, and I bet MGS4 will push a lot of units. DVD9 wouldn't be able to contain this game, because of all the hi-res cutscenes it will have. Most of the BD space will be used for cutscenes rather than pure content, if I had to guess. Now I'm not saying "360 liek culdnt handel diz game lolol" because it could, I just know the buzz is that he plans to completely fill a dual layer BD with HD cutscenes and I really don't think it could be compressed to that extent and still look good enough for them to stake their rep on it. 

Anyway we should be happy, it gives people a reason to play one console or the other. Halo may be the game to push me over the edge and buy a Box. Maybe MGS4 will be good enough that you cheap-o's will finally drop the dough and get one of these sexy machines.

I see people saying "Well Halo is owned by MS so it'll never happen."

Yeah, if you consider PC as going multiplat (which technically, I guess it is), then yeah, Halo is much more likely to go multiplat.

 Do you even know who publishes the whole Halo franchise? Fanboyisim aside, there is absolutely no logic in what you wrote!
