Microsoft: 360 can cope with 'MGS4'
Microsoft has stated that the Xbox 360 has the power to handle Metal Gear Solid 4 if Konami chooses to port the title from the PS3.

The claim follows Konami's Yoshitaka Ara explaining to Japanese financial news service Morningstar that "the worldwide demand for an Xbox 360 version of MGS4 is quite high, and it is something we are currently looking into".

John Schappert, Microsoft's corporate vice-president of Live, Software and Services, told MCV: "It would be wonderful to play Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox."

"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," explained Schappert.

"There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren't on PS3," he added. "We've got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power."
