He did? If this is true, MGS4 was confirmed in production before he left so...
If they did pay anything, I doubt it would be much. Previous years, it made sense to release games for the PS1 and PS2 if you want big sales. Not it's more even so, money might be used to persuade or entice. But the money has to cover their lost revenue and Konami might have faith in the series to sell enough to make them money.
Answers to Qs.
1. No idea
2. Help with production costs only. (maybe use of Sony Studios for voice recording etc)
3. Yes. Any extra sales is good for any new game released on any console. Same reason MS bought Star Ocean no doubt...
Hmm, pie.
