Has Kojima shown lack of respect to Sony?

Anyway, 3rd parties can develop for whoever they want, they don't owe anyone anything

We're not talking about legal obligations , we're fully aware of the fact that Kojima or any other 3rd party can develop for any console they choose,

It's Kojima's history with the Playstation brand that has caused some disapointment amongst the playstation audience, it's like all those years of Metal Gear Solid games on the Playstation meant nothing , in the period of 15 mins he neglected around a decade of history.

I wasn't talking about legal obligations either.

 

Firstly, the MG(S) series is not even as strongly associated with PS as you would like to believe.

 

the MG series started on the Gameboy (I believe that was the first)

and the MGS series has seen iterations on the GC and Iphone.

 

I just don't see why making a game a multiplat instead of an exclusive should be frowned upon. It is very risky to make exclusive HD games, and surely 360 owners also getting to enjoy MGS games is better than the studio risking bankruptcy and not making any more games ever

The MGS brand does have a strong association with the playstation brand  , not a completley exclusive association but that doesn't mean that the relationship is any less significant, I think playstation consoles have at least had more exclusive MGS games than any other.

No one ( at least I didn't) argued that MGS5 shouldn't make an apearance on any other platform , I think as many people as possible should get the opportunity to play the Metal Gear games , it's an amazing experience.

What annoyed me was the way in which Kojima presented the new metal gear game with all the XBOX 360 branding all over it , it was like MGS4 was never released exclusivley on the PS3 , like all those MGS games never made an apearance of other playstation consoles.
