it’s just that you’re the last person I was expecting to post this video, since you’re such a hardcore Xbox fan

Jokes aside, besides MGS4, you can probably play more MGS games natively on a modern Xbox than a modern PS4/5.
So it's fair to say the franchise is thoroughly multi-platform now. The inevitable MGS4 remaster will be the litmus test if it remains PS exclusive or if it also comes to Xbox.

I wonder what chinese company konami hired to ramshackily cheaply get mgs4 off ps3 with probably worse performance and weird bugs than original…

MGS4 always ran with an unlocked frame rate.
All they have to do is just port the game as is, don't even do any visual changes, the newer consoles will brute force it to a locked 60 FPS at all times.
But even asking that, without any meddling, is probably too much from Konami.

I know it’s a multiplat franchise, it is just closely associated with PlayStation like Silent hill or Final Fantasy.
I also never get tired of this codec conversation as a Metal Gear Solid and PlayStation fan:

For all we know its going to be a shoddily emulated version of that rumored cancelled xbox 360 beta so they dont have to change any of the ps3 code

Those BC PS3/360 games you've listed are not "native" though.

Semantics.
You stick the disc in and they play natively on the console via backwards compatible emulation, you don't stream them.

It may be semantics to you but it still is not natively. if it's semantics because of the "ease" to be able to play then you're playing semantics to begin with since with streaming you just hit play. You meant play 'locally', not natively.

Again, semantics. Besides, if you want to whittle into it with this level of scrutiny, the X360 versions of games are all recompiled to run on the hardware, hence you have to do the download even with the disc.
They're all playable on the hardware natively, that's the relevant part.

I'm not sure why you're so adamant to replace the word locally with natively (well I can kind of guess why) but those BC games are not running natively nor are they recompiled to run natively. I think you've misunderstood the emulation profiles. It runs on a 360 stack with a recompiled virtual GPU.
