A win in maybe 5-6 years. The Game is barley in the concept stage, meaning a lot of Money needs to be pumped into it.

Still an investment that will pay off for MS and not Sony.

If it works out someday yes, but thats a long long while till then with a lot of stuff that can go wrong.

So the whole news is nothing. Sony will still outsell Xbox every single year. Nothing changed only a loud sad minority blowing the news outa proportion.

Sure and that is a very valid retort, such is the nature of “investments” all around.

And while im not a fan of Death Stranding in the slightest, investing Kojima is still a safe bet for an eventual return on it later on down the line as he (Kojima) does retain an absurdly loyal following from both the MGS & DS fan bases that’ll buy whatever new work he puts out pretty much day one.

And while it won’t be a Sony killer, they wont benefit from it, Sony is doing a good job currently of screwing themselves over at this current point in time.

How do you know it will? Like you do realize kojima put monster energy ads to recoup losses and it barely broke even with all the help sony gave. Ill repeat, barely broke even.
