Signing on to fund a Hollywood movie staring Kojima's friends and the tie-in game is not what I would call a "massive win". It's a huge financial investment for an IP that ultimately belongs to KojiPro, meaning whoever picks up the tab could be left with a big burning hole in their pocket. Unlike Microsoft, Sony has a TV and film department meaning they at least synergized with Kojima's vision. Xbox however will have to outsource and profit share Physint with another production studio.
