Devs cost money, so does marketing, and KP is starting from 0. I don't think a deal in the tens of millions is out the nose really. And by that I mean the total of some combination of marketing, reduced royalties, dev support, and outright cash. Of course it's a partnership but Sony gets out what they put in if the game is good, and an AAA title by Kojima isn't going to birth itself on a budget of $10M.
The cases of FF7, TR or Bloodborne are all different but one thing they have in common is they're all done by studios that are already established. If Sony is helping with them setup the infrastructure and hiring then that's at least $20M right there over 3 years. When Kojima says he's starting out small I still doubt that's going to be anything less than 100 devs.
Jesus.. Konami, wtf.

But they could own the trademark for Kojima Productions, in the same way Apple owns Apple Inc. Maybe Konami really is as dumb as we all think they are, but I would have to assume that they trademarked all of their internal studio names. I think it's more likely that Kojima and Konami just worked out a deal, maybe in exchange for Kojima never being able to say anything about Konami in public for the rest of his life.

Is that not what I just said? =/
speaking of logo, if you love the logo so much then Kojima has preorders open for this

I wish it was just the shirt for like, 20-30 bucks. I can't imagine they won't sell the shirt alone sometime in the future but fuuuuck I want it now!

Fuck this stupid website. First it places an empty order. Now it says its sold out once the payment goes through.
"Unfortunately Kojima Productions Official Goods Set - L was removed from your cart as it is out of stock. You previously had 1 in your cart."
Can't preoder?

So when do we hear the juicy backdoor details about other companies tryina work wit him?
GAF is not the right place to use as evidence. And as of right now PC is not really a major competitor against playststion. Why spend a shit ton of cash to get a full on exclusive (instead of console exclusive ) to get a paultry amount of consumers that primarily use PCs (compared to the console market) not to mention that even if they got these PC gamers for some exclusives they likely won't get them to buy multiplatform games on PS4 or subscirbe to PS+ for long periods of time.

He says that they've known each other since the PSone version of Policenauts. That was released in 96.
"Had lunch with Shuhei Yoshida SCE. We've known each other since Policenauts PS version."
I know, I saw SSX's post. But it's clearly not as funny.
