Can someone update the OP? The OP isn't correct and this thread will be filled with confusion and people who only read the OP.
EDIT: THANKS!

Even more after the correction. Some of you make it real easy to read you.
console debut......hype deflated...........not really, a new studio with kojima at the helm is badass.
But question is.....can they release the game before going broke lol
Ah, so probably another console debut? I wonder who'll publish in this case.
No and why would he anyway? FOX Engine was designed for multiplatform projects.
Why is Japanese so hard for the Internet sometimes? Here's a quick translation that tries to stay as faithful to the original text as possible:
ゲームソフト「メタルギア」シリーズで知られる著名ゲームクリエーターの小島秀夫氏が、15日付でコナミデジタルエンタテインメントを退社した。新会社を設立してゲーム制作を続け、ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント(SCE)のゲーム機「プレイステーション(PS)」向けなどで販売するとみられる。
Kojima Hideo, a famous video game creator known for the Metal Gear series has left Konami Digital Entertainment as of December 15th. He will form a new company where he will continue developing video games, with plans to release on platforms such as Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE)'s PlayStation.
 コナミ時代の部下と新会社を設立する。代表作「メタルギア」シリーズの版権はコナミ側に残るため、新作の開発に着手する。最新作についてはSCEと最終交渉しており、PS向けに優先販売するとみられる。
He is forming the new company with people who worked under him at Konami. The rights to the Metal Gear series, for which he is most known, remain at Konami, so he will begin working on an all new title. Final negotiations with SCE are underway for this new game to debut on PlayStation.
 小島氏は「マリオ」で知られる任天堂の宮本茂氏と並ぶ世界的なゲーム開発者。緻密なストーリー作りや映画の手法も取り入れた映像表現で評価が高い。今年9月に発売したゲームソフト「メタルギアソリッド5」は世界で500万本を超える大ヒットを記録した。
Kojima is a world famous video game developer on the same level as Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario. He is highly praised for his elaborate stories and use of movie techniques to create impressive visual imagery. Metal Gear Solid V was released this September and became a massive hit, selling over 5 million copies around the world.
Post on Twitter and paste it here - then some people will read itReally annoying to see this article being mistranslated as Kojima joining Sony or forming a studio under Sony's umbrella or whatever.
The article flat out says that he is forming a new company with people he worked with from his Konami days. It also says that the all new game he will be working on will likely be released for Sony's PlayStation and that they are in final negotiations to have the game release *first* (but not exclusive) on Sony's platform.

It didn't hurt Metal Gear Solid 3, the best game the man ever made.
So he wants to stay independent then?
That really doesn't go against what he said though. He worked, and put all his effort into one game, in one system. And it was later ported to Xbox, and PC. He didn't have to worry about making it work on three different systems.The game that released on Xbox and PC?
Doesn't mean that. Can be console only, or some consoles only.
I don't think Sony has the money to buy Kojima Productions even if Kojima (for whatever reason) wanted to.
MS on the other hand....

All this commotion over... a moneyhat?
If they're in negotiations over an exclusivity window, I wonder who the actual publisher is.
Unless it's a downloadable game, they're not funding something themselves.
..because no one stepped up to pay for the port?If so why isn't TLoU,Uncharted,Until Dawn,inFamous,etc. on PC yet.
Watch it be Activision.

Well, as I bet before that SE could get Kojima, I'd say SE could also be a publisher to his studio.
At least they have patience

Hopefully Kojima's new studio is an independent contractor like Platinum Games & are just doing hired work for Sony. While I trust Sony to help Kojima out, I want everyone to enjoy the great games that Kojima has brewing in his head.
Well like I said in my post, Sony's not really about those fully exclusive 3rd party games anymore, and I'm sure Kojima isn't either. I mean, he has been working on multiplatform games for years. The only one with balls enough to pull something like "buying out" Kojima is Microsoft (and going by this article it seems they didn't heh). This Kojima-Sony relationship is not going any further than some Sony execs being friends with Hideo and eating something after work sometimes.Why?
lmao is this still going on?I don't think Sony has the money to buy Kojima Productions even if Kojima (for whatever reason) wanted to.

Think thats a more realistic and safe conclusion for all, if that happens
