Forums - Gaming Discussion - Could Microsoft land a deal with Konami to counter Sony's deal with KojiPro?

Like get timed exclusive release for MGS new game, or exclusive content? Or an exclusive spin-off from MGS? Or a new IP?

1) Do you think Micro needs to take action against this deal from Sony and Kojima Productions, or is it too soon to tell if it matters?

2) Do you think this could be good business for Microsoft?

3) Could this be good business for Konami or could this further antagonize the company?

What do you think?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I dont think it really matters. Konami are more or less irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I don't think Microsoft is in the position to money hat any big 3rd party exclusive with its market share. To pay up the costs for the 40-50 million PS4s(by the time their next game would come out) would be too expensive and wouldn't be worth the money. Especially not a japanese game considering how low they sell on Xbox so it would be even more money to pay.



"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"

Considering the bad reputation Konami has, I think noone is going to ask a collaboration with them in a very long time.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Too much bad going in both directions.

MS wouldn't want to touch konami. especially with the way the gaming audience looks at kobami now.

Konami wouldn't want to tie a potentially good selling game to MS, being that they can (like everyone else) see what happened with tomb raider and that they of all people know where the core user base for an MGS game resides.

After what's happened with Rise of the tomb raider, I think any third party developer will be reluctant to do times exclusives or full exclusives on Xbox. 32million potential sales competed to Xboxs 17million is a big gap and devs want sales.

Then again it can happen if MS is willing to bank roll the entire project. Dev cost and publishing and marketing. So all konami does is offer up the IP and the devs to work on it.



It would be a bad business for Konami to release an MGS exclusive to Xbox when most of the IP sale come from Playstation but an new IP exclusive to Xbox could happen.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

It is exciting to see japanese gaming receiving so much attention.



I asked that question in another Kojima thread. Can't remember which one, so many of them. No answer.
