So who should we Xbox gamers blame for the absence of this astounding set?
a. Ourselves.
Apparently Kojima partly based the decision on the sales of his other awesome work Zone of the Enders HD Compilation(or Z.O.E.). The remastered sold decently but reports say that it wasn't enough to warrant the porting of the MGS games to the Microsoft console.
If we had bought the game and made it a top seller then we wouldn't even be having this discussion in the first place.
b.Technology
At the moment, the Playstation 3 has the clear cut advantage because it runs on Blu-Ray discs as opposed to Xbox 360 consoles that needs DVD discs. It's this technology that also turned off Hideo Kojima and the rest of Konami from sending over Big Boss, Raiden and Solid Snake to the XBox 360. Practically speaking are we all financially equipped to invest in a seven disc game from Metal Gear Solid all the way to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot? If they push through, only hardcore collectors and gamers will shell out a lot of dollars to bring this bad boy home.
