Death Stranding games broke even "but not by much," analyst says, which may explain why Sony axed Physint despite it being Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear successor
Analysts suggest that Sony Interactive Entertainment's decision to cancel Hideo Kojima's next project, Physint, may be linked to the Death Stranding series only breaking even on its substantial budget. While the first game sold well, Death Stranding 2 has underperformed, leading to a low overall return on investment for the franchise. This financial caution, coupled with other recent underperforming titles and canceled live service projects, indicates a shift in Sony's publishing strategy.
