Um guys, Sony doesn't do Metal Gear, Konami. The series has had quite a few installments on Nintendo systems.
That's not the point. It's a ps exclusive.

But for a video game that's supposed to showcase a specific company's franchise characters, why would you want to import a character from a different company?  Give that skillset to one of your own characters.  I'm willing to bet Sony has at least 30 characters they could use for a game like this before even needing to bring out the obscure ones, let alone needing to import the star franchise character from another company into their game.
Because people who play that franchise will enjoy it, and even others who recognize Snake but never played a MGS game (like me) appreciated the inclusion. I've always liked easter eggs, and it seemed like a huge, blatant one to me. I liked that. Why would Call of Duty put the same teddy bear across most of their games instead of putting something more realistic there? Why would Totaka put the same tune in all of his games? It's not a very good melody; why not substitute a better sounding song in its place? Because it's fun, and that's what games should be about.

Soul Calibur has a history of doing this.

Soul Calibur wasn't named "Namco Fighting Super Awesome Gametime," either.  It made no claims to be company-specific.  The name "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale" kind of implies that the characters in the game will, you know, come from the Playstation platforms.  Not Nintendo or Microsoft, but Sony.
I didn't even see it like that, but you're right. Having "Playstation" in the title would make the inclusion of non-exclusive characters seem wrong. At the same time, Smash Bros was never called "Super Smash Nintendo Characters".
