Kojima loves Xbox 360 so much that he has one at work.

June 30, 2008 in News comments 17

For those of you with a sharp eye and an attention to detail, you may have noticed something odd while watching the bonus features disc that came with Metal Gear Solid 4. Jonny L of Kotaku noticed it: Hideo Kojima has an Xbox 360 on his desk - or one of his employee's desks, at least.
Yes, the man who made one of the PS3's biggest exclusive titles has an Xbox 360 at his workplace and it appeared in MGS4's bonus features. Shh, don't tell Sony ...

Jonny says the above frame came from the segment "Hideo Kojima's Gene" in the bonus features disc, for those who have it and want to watch.

    There's no way thats his desk, looks like a lesser rank desk.

      Yeah, don't worry, Kojima has his own office.

      This isn't really surprising though. At least it isn't being reported as a dev kit here like some other places.

    Hang on. Someone who works for a company who makes games for the 360 has a 360?

    wtf is this madness?

      Yeah, that's insane. I guess someone may feel like it's a slap on the face to show it on a MGS4 bonus disk.

        I actually watched the Metal Gear Saga DVD I got with my MGS4 pre-order on my 360.

    I hoped this wouldn't get approved because it simply is not news. So WHAT if he has a 360 on his desk? It's a great system, and he clearly knows this.

    If we made a point out of every developer or journalist with a good relationship with Sony owning a 360, you'd have to sift through about 3 pages to find an actual news article.

      oh ffs. >_>

      Just take a look at Kotaku and the comments this article got. The majority of commentors had a good laugh and cracked a few jokes over the picture of Kojima with an Xbox.

      Then have a look at the comment/s here. This is the problem with Gamegrep, nobody can take a joke or accept lighthearted gaming 'news'. Everyone is always nitpicking and bitching and thumbing each other down. It's insane.

    Not news? How is this not news? I had no idea people could be fans of more than one console! I'll spread the word immediately!

    If I remember right he said he had interest or at least some enjoyment with Gears so if thats the case why would he not own a 360 for it?

    It's kind of a given he's not obsessed with Sony from head to toe, I mean he was actually excited to do the twin snakes on the GC and he's wanted to branch out to other systems anyway just to see what he can do or what he can think up for them.

    For the most part Kojima is a very experimental person, his prior handling of topics usually indicates that if he could, he'd probably be toying around with most devices out.

    Btw: Yes at least this isn't the Kotaku earlier spin of "IS THIS A DEVKIT IT IS IT IS" and then everyone and their mother pointed out how that was the most foolish jump someone could make.

    This is like saying "I love my PS3 so much I have on at home!!!"

    Seriously, I would bet mostly every developer has all 3 consoles, regardless of where they keep them.
