Then there is the thing with how with every MGS that followed, he said it would be his last. From what I know, he even gotten death threats from fans to make MGS4.

I mean I'm sure he has a general storyline thought up, but just about every game had it's story made seperately for it, hence why there are inconsistencies and retcons, cause a fully planned out story would not have such. The open-ended ending would actually suggest a sequel to be made. Otherwise, he would have made sure it was closed ended, left absolutely no room for a sequel. In other words, Ocelot would NOT identify the president as being Solidus. Even Kojima mentioned that he already had planned Solidus for an eventual sequel (hence his name).
