Metal Gear Solid 4 coming for toasters? Teaser picture from Famitsu
Kinda doesn't matter anymore, really. The game didn't really do much in terms of moving PS3s, and a lot of people felt it was a disappointment anyway.
A lot of people felt it was a disappointment for two reasons.
One: It didn't save the PS3 from 3rd place as "expected"
Two: MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES.
Neither of those are reasons why it isn't awesome to have it go multiplat. It wasn't a bad game, and saying "It didn't move a $400 console" is about five incredibly large steps from "It won't sell in the already established install base of another console"
That's not Japanese writing. And if for some reason whatever that's going on in that picture makes sense to Japanese people, then once again I will be impressed by their vastly superior intellects.
Is there anything on those pages that suggests more than somebody dropped some Perfection pieces?

The point isn't that ! and i are japaneese characters, the point is that ! is classic MGS and i is... um.... ok never mind that part the ending graphic is the iconic 360 symbol.
What is wrong with you? You look at that and you don't think something to do with the 360 but instead "
i isn't a kanji character!"

The true test will be to see how many 360 players are disappointed by it as well.
Trust me, it let me down vastly, and for neither reason you said.
It's a universal power switch symbol...maybe with a "!" in it. 360 symbol it ain't.
I'm not confused that it isn't kana, I'm confused because it makes no fucking sense to me. All I can guess is that there is indeed some sort of MGS game coming.
I know some people who will be so angry. But, i think i also won 20 bucks. I gotta recheck on this bet I made a while back
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I bet my cock on this one. Right when DMC4 went mutliplatform, I made the prediction that FF13 and MGS4 would too. More people should listen to me.
If they really wanted to put the point across that it was coming to 360, they would have done the Ring of Light rather than the power symbol in the middle.

I think the most important part isn't the power symbol, which to me just suggests "Whatever we're hinting at, we've started on it." It's that mysterious i being added to the classic exclamation point.
Hmm... How are iPhone sales in Japan?

Or perhaps something for both X360 and Wii? After all, picture has two i's, and uses same font that Wii logo uses. Font itself is quite uncommon.
Yar....
Except that the amount of hits the graphics are going to take is going to make everyone explode screaming "WHY?".
Maybe they'll make a separate MGS spinoff on the Wii? If Kojima can make MGS2 & 3 look amazing on the PS2 they sure as hell can make one that looks amazing on the Wii.
If you're asking me, what's confusing me is that this is a bunch of vague symbols and a statement that "a next Metal Gear is..."
Only the exclamation point means anything in this context. The rest is the indecipherable madness that I've slowly deluded myself into thinking is perfectly fine so long as the Japanese are doing it.
And neither of them are green...you're making iphone theories because of an i, a common vowel, yet admonish people for making leaps regarding the most widely known green power symbol in gaming.

Not really, but in this case, it is combined with two Wii i's. Or perhaps with one iPhone i and and one exclamation mark from the series. Anyways, this speculation is completely ridiculous, I know.

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

Can't say that I'm that surprised.
Wait, it's i + ! though.
MGS4 for the Mac confirmed?
Metal Gear Solid 2 for the Wii confirmed!

How is the end part an iconic 360 symbol?
A 360 port is the most likely explanation though.
That or PC.
Or perhaps something for both X360 and Wii? After all, picture has two i's, and uses same font that Wii logo uses. Font itself is quite uncommon.
Well, it is.
And it isn't.
I'm holding out hope still. Woo, achievements.
Yay, I can play it on my PC. If I buy a new one that can run it decently.

Possibilities!

Yeah, that is reasonable and highly likely. Something else I noticed:
