With all of Sony's woes with the Playstation 3, the internet sure likes to speculate and blow shit out of proportion that one of their biggest exclusives, Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to the Xbox 360. As a person who is a spectator of the next gen console, I find it funny of all the trouble fanboys go out to stir crap up. Oh right, back to the story. Konami releases the following press statement:
Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time. [It's] exclusive to PlayStation 3.
Well that, gives no reassurance but to the fact that they haven't planned on it "at this time" which may imply "some other time." Well, Kojima sees the 360 as "more down to earth" and expressed the console as "great dinner, great steak with their family, a little bit more casual during the weekends."
BURGER KING(R) Xbox Games Are Best-Selling Collection of 2006 Holiday Season
More than 2 Million Games Sold Nationwide at BURGER KING(R) Restaurants in Four Weeks
MIAMI, Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Released on Nov. 19, more than 2 million BK(R) Xbox games have been sold in just four weeks, joining the ranks of other top-selling Xbox 360 titles such as "Call of Duty 3" and "Saint's Row," making it the best-selling collection of games published for the Xbox/Xbox 360 platforms this holiday season.
All three Xbox games in the collection -- "Pocketbike Racer," "Big Bumpin'," "Sneak King" -- are available at participating BURGER KING(R) restaurants, for a limited time only while supplies last, for a recommended price of $3.99 per game with the purchase of a BK(R) Value Meal.
"We created the BK(R) Xbox games as a unique form of all-family interactive entertainment, and we're thrilled with the response thus far," said Russ Klein, president, global marketing, strategy, and innovation, Burger King Corporation. "Most video games are considered a blockbuster when they reach the 1 million mark in sales, and this collection has achieved twice that, thanks in part to the great value for the money and convenient holiday stocking stuffer appeal."
Compatible on both Xbox and Xbox 360 platforms, the BK(R) Xbox Game Collection is based on some of the most popular video game genres -- racing, action and adventure -- and rated "E" for everyone. The three BK(R) Xbox Live-enabled titles blend the popularity of BURGER KING(R) brand icons, such as the King and Subservient Chicken, into visually rich, three-dimensional environments that give players of all ages an entertaining, interactive experience on one of the most popular video game platforms in the world.
"Consumers have come to expect the unexpected from Burger King Corporation so their appetite for these games is not entirely surprising," said Chris DiCesare, director of Xbox partnership marketing. "We're elated that our effort to pair two iconic brands has succeeded in providing Xbox owners with a fun diversion this holiday."

SEGA ANNOUNCES VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 FOR XBOX 360
Premiere Fighting Game Franchise Makes First Appearance on Microsoft's Next Generation Videogame Console
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (December 21, 2006) - SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that the highly anticipated arcade fighting game, Virtua Fighter 5, will make its way onto the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Virtua Fighter 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 in North America and in Europe during late summer 2007. The game will also be available for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system on February 20th, 2007 in North America and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the system's launch in March 2007.
"Those people lucky enough to have already played Virtua Fighter 5 will know that it's laid the foundations to become the clear benchmark for fighting games on all next generation consoles", said Matt Woodley, Creative Director, SEGA Publishing Europe Ltd. "Bringing Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360 offers us a platform with power to handle the astonishing visuals, the complex and varied fighting styles of all the customisable characters and will undoubtedly put Virtua Fighter 5 into the hands of a gaming audience craving for a highly polished and credible fighting game."
Virtua Fighter 5 features beautifully detailed stages from around the world where players face off in fast-moving martial arts battles against one of 17 characters. Two lively new characters join the elite group of fighters, adding two new unique fighting styles for players to try and master. With more skill and strategy than ever before, players are also given the opportunity to learn and employ the new "Offensive Move" technique to take down their opponents from different angles, adding a new dimension to the game and something for both new and old fans to master. Virtua Fighter 5 also includes the ability to customise characters by selecting from four base costumes and a wide range of unlockable accessories and earnable items. As players win more tournaments they will not only earn costumes and accessories, but also prizes and in-game money that will allow them to buy items from the in-game shop.
"The Virtua Fighter series from SEGA has one of the most prestigious histories in video games," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "It's a franchise that has grown an army of loyal fans both in arcades and on consoles worldwide, and is consistently rated extremely high by the media. Fighting game fans have been hungry for Virtua Fighter 5 and we can now proudly deliver this game with SEGA to Xbox 360 gamers around the world."
