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.

Do you think that maybe those games underperforming would make Sony more likely to not want to throw more money into a fire?

Exactly. These people all clowned on sony for throwing and losing money on Concord. But now they're all like "oh but you threw money at Concord, why not Kojima too?". So it's worth making fun of them when they lose money on a game and studio you don't like. But if they were to lose money on Kojima whose last two games were not really successful, then that would be fine because you personally like him?
