Maybe even Silent Hill could come from an agreement with Konami.

there's something wrong here but I can't help to tell what it is...

Imho Kojima should stay third party some way, the more of the gaming industry is capable of playing his games on their devices, the best it is for everyone, but that's only a Nintendo fan opinion :p

Opinion or wish?

opinion. As a fan of a company that didn't recive a Kojima game in like 10 years I can still admit that the guy is talented and I'd love to be able to play his next games on my devices, as well as probably most of Xbox/PC gamers...

Not Kojima amitable agreement with Konami, But Sony sending some money to buy/lease rights for a game... or just give creative freedom for Kojima to trump SH.

So it's a wish (nothing wrong with it). You wish he opened an independent studio so you could purchase his games and play. Well maybe when he release his next game a PS4 is cheap enough that you become a dual console owner.

That's all I got.

Be great to see a new IP from Kojima :)

I'd bet anything that Sony will eventually buy MGS from Konami. That frachise is going to go down the shitter and thus, decrease in value. Sony is probably going to wait until said value is low enough and then buy it before handing it back to it's creator.

A new IP is exciting because obviously Kojima is extremely talented. MGS and Bioshock are pretty much interchangeable as my two favorite games of all time but I fell off the MGS wagon years ago. Wonder what Konami does with MGS now lol.
