How much did Kojima's work make for Sony over the years. MGS1 was in the top ten PS1 titles sold of all time. Ditto MGS2 for PS2. Snake Eater in the top twenty. Peace Walker and Portable Ops (productions count!) in the top twenty for PSP. Guns of the Patriots? Top ten PS3.

I don't know if the numbers are out there, but I *know* that MGS4 bundle had to have moved a lot of units.

Come to think of it, the only Sony console I own that I didn't buy explicitly because of a Kojima game was the PS4 - and Death Stranding was still a factor in pulling the trigger.


They're throwing out a spiritual successor to Metal Gear by the original creator - worse, giving it away to the competition. That and the physical media thing and their poor handling of communication after the fact. The tone-deafness is astonishing.

Tbh, I tolerated with everything Sony was doing in the PS5 era snd didn’t care for all from the GaaS incident to subs going up to no physical thing. But I think this is the final straw for me. It’s not that I worship Kojima or anything, but to ditch one of your most loyal developers and someone you should really treasure is something tells me that nothing sacred to you and you have no minimum respect for anything you stood for in all those 30 years building to your prime. It’s time to let money do all the talking as it seems that this is the only language Sony seems to understand these days. It’s too early to set it in stone for me but I’m seriously thinking of converting to Microsoft flag after being exclusively to PS for like 28 years.
