There were some SALTY Sony diehards on Twitter after the initial announcement! It's just a partnership for a single game. It wasn't an announcement of Microsoft buying Kojima Productions lol. I'll look forward to anything Kojima works on regardless of who he partners with.
No reason he can't do games for both companies no big deal. Eventually those games may make their way to the other console as well.
And even if they don't it isn't the end of the world.
It is sad that Kojima have to put this due to morons bitching against the company.
Unless he makes a spiritual sequel to ZOE 2 or Snatcher. He can make games for the Amico for all I care.
