Kojima Productions: Sony acquisition denied, Xbox one in the air

Continuously disputed between Sony and Xbox, Hideo has the idea of ​​denying the acquisition: Kojima Productions will still remain an independent studio

Neither Xbox nor Sony: Kojima Productions does not foresee any acquisition

Stamattina, Hideo Kojima ha voluto confuse the waters a little tweeting an image containing the various IPs of Sony: later, without any implication for Xbox, the game designer denied the rumors about the acquisition of his studio Productions. Regarding them, Jeff Grubb simply shrugged. According to him, exclusivity deals do not involve any kind of takeover. In other words, the denial of a rumor of astronomical significance has not completely silenced the rumors about a “simple” exclusive. On the contrary, we rather expect to hear about it for a long time to come.

I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, but KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS has been and will continue to be an independent studio. https://t.co/2M0n4ogRaa
