Konami sees little PS3 price cut impact: Metal Gear Solid may come to other consoles

Kazumi Kitaue, the head of Konami's North American and European operations, told Reuters today that Konami may need to expand the target hardware for its blockbuster action game Metal Gear Solid, which has so far been developed for Sony's PlayStation machines, to other consoles in the future to recoup development costs.

"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," Kitaue said.

Konami plans to launch Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PS3 in the current business year to March 2008.
