Death Stranding Franchise Likely Barely Broke Even, Could Explain Sony Dropping Physint – Analyst
With Sony no longer involved in the production of Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid spiritual successor, Physint , people are wondering why the PlayStation company decided to part ways with the veteran game designer's upcoming game.
AI Summary
Sony has stopped funding Hideo Kojima’s upcoming game Physint, a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid, after reports that the title missed deadlines and may be over budget. Analysts note that Kojima’s recent releases have barely broken even for Sony, making the company reluctant to invest hundreds of millions in a timed‑exclusive it would not own. With Sony withdrawing, Xbox stepped in to rescue the project, marking a rare win for the rival. Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliott said the move makes sense from a strictly financial perspective, given the franchise’s limited earnings.
