In a post on the official PlayStation Blog, social media manager Sid Shuman confirmed to a commenter that Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will be multiplatform.
Every main series entry (with the exception of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, a remake of Metal Gear Solid using the engine of MGS2: Sons of Liberty) has been exclusive to PlayStation platforms, up until now. Shuman didn't elaborate on which platforms exactly would be receiving Ground Zeroes, but the gameplay footage shown at PAX Prime 2012 was running on a high-end PC. One would expect Ground Zeroes to grace Xbox 360 as well.

By now everyone knows the difficulty Bethesda has had with Sktrim on the PS3, not unlike numerous other developers.
After six years ppl need to look back and see ALL the results instead of calling developers lazy.
It's well known that the reason the PS3 doesn't have cross game chat is due to its lack of RAM. Split RAM so developers can't exceed 256mb, not even that after you take away the PS3's large OS.

This should come as no suprise to anyone who saw the pre-recorded Konami 2011 E3 video, where Kojima said that KP was going multiplatform from there on out. MGS's spiritual home will always be on the PlayStation, kinda like how Mass Effects is on 360.

The biggest issue with a multiplatform game imo, is the pop-ins caused by super compression to make it all fit in 8.5gigs. That, and the fact that the amount of CG cutscenes is obliterated to almost nothingness. I know a lot of people prefer in game, but CG effects still fit in and make the whole experience that much more mesmerizing (Just look at the Uncharted series), at least for me.
But seeing as how this game is being made on the FOX engine (and also that it's kinda like the FOX engine's showpiece), I doubt Kojima would want too much CG in it anyway.
Whatever though, as long as the ps3 gets a brilliant MGS, I'm happy.

and that's how Microsoft's dirty money kills another great license, after having Fianl Fantasy gimped to satisfy the weak console and brainless X360 fans, MGS will become a generic adventure/action/shooter with no story and strategy involved

Why don't we listen to an established developer descibe what is "gimped"

Look on YouTube under "John Carmack keynote 2011".
Starting at the 16 minute mark.
PS3 can't resolve a 8k x 8k page
PS3 has most lag getting info off disc
PS3 has smallest RAM
BTW, John Carmack, like other developers, uses loaded data from multiple DVD discs to far exceed 8GB.
