This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

They have lost their damn minds. Kojima WAS Playstation for so damn long because of Metal Gear. Kojima is doing a new stealth game and you let him WALK? AFTER DEATH STRANDING????

I'm not wasting my time with people that think sales are a metric of quality

lol grow up dude. They might not be a metric of quality but they're most definitely a metric of whether or not you're gonna get more funding and support

Sells keep your ship going, no sales, your game sink no matter the quality.

Business as usual.

It’s true unfortunately no matter what a lot think. The modern triple a gaming industry is too reliant on profits and expectations that not every series or studio can stay up forever like the old days, it’s just too expensive.

Sales are not not a metric of quality for art

They are however a metric of if people with money will continue to give you money to make more art
