I was thinking this, since Konami will never do anything with that IP again I bet outside of Pachinko.
But I doubt that would happen either way. And since Sony kind of took in Kojima, it might make Konami reluctant to negotiate with Sony to begin with.

As for Remedy, it's not a studio I'm interested in, but I know there are a lot of Alan Wake fans who want a sequel.

Sony would just need to make a deal that Konami thinks they are the winners of. Something like Sony buys the IPs to make actual games again, giving Konami 1% of the revenue made off of the games, while Konami has all the rights to make their Pachinko machines based on the IPs, and get to keep all of the profit from said machines. Sony would still win by drawing interest and hype to their consoles/services.
