mgs4p3004 - MS: Xbox 360 has 'the power to run MGS4'

Microsoft's Xbox LIVE boss John Schappert has told MCV that its Xbox 360 console is more than up to the task of running Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4 and the platform holder would "love" to see the game on their system.

"I'm certainly in the fan club that would love to see Kojima-san's masterpiece come our way. It would be wonderful to play Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox," said Schappert. "It could become another of the many franchises that started their life on another console that are now coming our way.

"I can't speak on behalf of Konami, but I can shed more light on the fact that we definitely have the power to run MGS4."

Schappert also took a slight dig at the true high definition capabilities of the PS3, noting: "There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren't on PS3. We've got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power."

Only recently Konami's Yoshitaka Arai was alleged to have said the publisher was looking at bringing the acclaimed action title to the Xbox 360.

"The worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version of MGS4 is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking in to," said Arai.
