Nintendo had the FF and MGS IPs way before Sony did and yet you act like it earnt its success because it was on PS. That's why it makes no sense to me. Sony did not create the games nor do they own them (Not yet anyway) There success came from being good games not because they were on a type of platform. Different story if we are referring to 1st party games.

The fact you look at it like sides instead of a whole is odd. Games are games and should not matter what console you buy as long as gamers have access to them, hence my comparison. If its a 1st party game I will agree with you 100% however you are talking about 3rd party games with a legacy of being on multiplatform systems. You have that mind set of screwing over millions of gamers to please more millions of gamers. We don't know Konami's plans, we can only assume.

Wrong, MGS(olid) was first on PS1, Metal Gear did come before on Sega Mastersystem though. FF used to be in Nintendo until they decided not to go with optical media which caused the migration to PS and stay there ever since for the main series.

I'm not the one making it into sides, it's how things are naturally. Otherwise you wouldn't be poo pooing the fact Sony may or may not have these exclusives, you would be celebrating that these games might be made at all. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you don't care about them at all...

I didn't give a shit when Hellblade 2 became an Xbox thing, even though the first one was a PS4 exclusive, so what's the problem with Sony having Kojima and MGS or Silent Hills? 

The problem for him is that people buy consoles for these three games but no one will buy for hellblade 2.
