Kojima Snubbing Xbox Is Microsoft’s Fault Alone

"Unfortunately, the Xbox ecosystem has always been mismatched for Japanese designers and consumers. For how much it nails exactly what an American consumer wants from their consoles, it misses the mark for Japanese players in nearly every way. This is due to many factors, perhaps some that are unfair to the company, but Microsoft has had 15 years to rectify the situation and hasn’t been able to. It isn’t that Japan is against accepting a major American company, they seem to enjoy Apple products and other large American brands. For whatever reason, Xbox has yet to find the magic recipe to entice the Japanese market."

Kojima's Sony PartnerShip is the Fault of the Xbox Players, in the First week the Playstation 4, sold more than 70% of the Units of Metal Gear Solid 5, and the % of Sales was between PS4, PS3, XBOX 360, Xbox One, Pc, and the PS4, had more than 70% of the Sales.

Agreed. Hope he makes some good games.

And if you guys read the entire article, there's a shout out to VGChartz. It might not be so favorable, but close enough.

Because Kojima is known for his games designed for the Japanese market. /s

Everything he has made, was aimed for a western audience. Boktai bein the only exception I can think of.

His fanbase in on PS, people need to get over it all.

Hell he will be first party with in a year or two.

^ this.

70% of your sales are on PS4.... chances are you want to develop games for the PS4.

"these are numbers from VGChartz so, you know LOLChartz and all, but it can’t be far off from the truth even if these numbers aren’t 100% confirmed."

Really?  Because I feel much of MGS style of storytelling is very much more of a Japanese theme than a western one.  MGS is just one that western players have embraced more than others.  If anything I would say his games are well rounded toward many audiences rather than just one group of people.

Seeing how the PS4 is dominant in Japan and Europe, as well as ahead in the US, it has become the obvious choice if you plan on being exclusive to any one console.  Lets also not forget Sony tends to offer more creative freedom than MS does, so a deal with Sony is also better for his developmental needs as well.

It's not a "snubbing". It's going be coming from an independent studio. Meaning, they need a publisher. Sony would have approached him on this, considering their long standing relationship. 

That's why when it was officially announced, it specifically said his first game would be console exclusive. Not that "all his games are PS exclusive". From Soft made Demon's Souls, but Dark Souls was multiplatform.
