this is the only thing that sorta makes sense....BUT its very clear that Konami doesnt even want to deal with video games anymore and the sole series they do have is pretty irrelevant on Xone, even if MS did want to Money hat which would be stupid, it is no longer associated with Kojima which will further alienate the fanbase which Konami does not need. |
Creating a new IP might work, but the moment people see Konami's name on it, they'll walk away...
It makes more sense to ask Kojima to create a new IP for the XONE than asking the bastards the screwed him...

New IP that does? I just now noticed old IPs don't seem to be suffering from poor sales on the XONE. They are suffering poor sales across the board. The new IPs seem to be racketing up the numbers left by the old series. If anything, now's the generation to create new IPs and kill old ones.
| theprof00 said: A good rule of thumb for games and exclusivity is, if the game is either going multiplat, or switching historical sides...it is likely a game that has cost the dev too much money and probably not very good. So, seeing as how a new metal gear by konami only is probably going to be bad, I think there's a genuine possibility that a new sans-Hideo metal gear could be xbox only. Almost every time we've seen a game switch sides from one sequel to the next, or if the game was announced multiplat and then went exclusive, it's generally been bad. There's a huge list of games like that and very few exceptions. |
One of the rules of multiplat is that multiplats do not return to exclusivity. Ever.

We're not talking MGS...
