Following word from Konami that they are looking into porting Metal Gear Solid 4 to Xbox 360, Microsoft’s Xbox Live boss John Schappert pointed out that the console has enough power to “handle” the game; he also expressed his admiration for Kojima’s “masterpiece.”

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

Schappert then pointed out that a lot of other games have shifted over to the Xbox 360 from PS3 and that the console has an “amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power.”
