Hideo Kojima Says It is Up to Xbox if Physint Will be an Xbox Exclusive - News

Hideo Kojima in an interview with IGN was asked if Physint, which recently became an Xbox published title, was asked if the upcoming title would still release on PlayStation consoles. He doesn't know as that decision is up to Xbox.
"I don’t know the answer to that – that would be a question for Xbox. But I don't know for sure," said Kojima.
"In previous updates from Xbox, I thought that they have this kind of stance where they want to deliver to as many gamers as possible, no matter what the platform is. I think all of that will be announced at a later time. I'm not sure yet, and I can't really say."
Even if Physint doesn't launch on PlayStation consoles it will most likely launch day one on Xbox consoles and PC as Xbox launches all first-party titles on both platforms.
Kojima was also asked about PlayStation cancelling its deal to publish Physint and if PlayStation provided a reason as to their decision.
"No, not at all," he said. "They haven't contacted me ever since. But I'm not fighting with Sony. We're not in a dispute. But what I want to say is that we've been together for 30 years and we have this relationship. So if this was the conclusion, I would've wanted to hear it a little earlier. But that meeting in June, they just gave us the final notice.
"As I said, my mind went blank, so I didn't really ask a lot of questions. It was more like, what should I do with my company? So that was what was on my mind at the time. I've always been a big Sony fan. I've been using a Walkman. All my cameras are Sony. So I have no bad feelings towards them."
Xbox is publishing two upcoming titles from Kojima Productions - OD and Physint.

Wouldnt be suprised if Asha makes it exclusive.
There probably won't last too long and they might cancel this as well if it flops like both Death Strandings have. ðŸ¤
Is there a release date for OD??
So... why doesn't someone ask Xbox? And why don't they give a direct answer for once.
Sony just cant stop winning.
i wanna see u talk smack about sony when this game either drops with a low meta or fails to finish development
He would never, people with agenda's never go back and reflect.
(I also have an agenda against Sony but I have an agenda against everyone so it's okay)
Sounds like you want to see this game fail so you can say Sony made the right call.
Do you genuinely think Sony doesn't deserve backlash for its recent decisions??
For deciding to pull funding on a game that was over budget and making no progress?
Kojima going back to it's bread and butter would be an easy win for Sony. Especially during a time when their 1st party releases has not nearly as good as or frequent than previous generations.
A lot of winning today from MS huh?
You being too quiet, speak up.
Tell you one thing, after today’s play by MS Kojima is in thin ice from day one with MS.
Must suck working under that pressure.
"what should I do with my company?" - Carry on? Sorry, Kojima, are you not individually wealthy? Were you not already making a game for MS? See how that works out first.
Seems like a normal first reaction to this kind of news. His personal wealth can only sustain AAA game development for so long and very likely not long enough to see this project through.
