Can he even afford to make a DS3 right now with the movie, Physint and OD in the pipeline? Can't see him being given free reign to delay on those projects like he's been able to in the past.

Something to keep in mind is all of those projects are from totally different studios. Unlike when he was with Konami he doesn't have anyone who's actually in charge of him. Sony and Xbox aren't gonna want to pull the plug on Physint and OD and lose their KojiPro exclusive when the opposition has one in the pipeline. And the movie projects will require (and maybe insist upon) much less of an active involvement from Kojima compared to his games. That being said Kojima wants to prioritise OD next I think from what he's said but that's fine. It's not like DS3 has to be made this decade. I know Metal Gear never saw a very long break but Kojima was tied to that horse by Konami. I think he'd probably be happy to wait and see what next gen consoles could do for the series.
