Physint Deal is “Substantially Below” Developing a Premium Game, Says Xbox CEO
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma stated that the company's deal for Kojima Productions' Physint is substantially below the typical cost of developing a premium game, contradicting speculation about massive budgets. This comes after Sony reportedly dropped its publishing deal due to the game's high costs and missed deadlines, with reports suggesting Xbox's deal is a fraction of the rumored $400 million. Hideo Kojima expressed surprise at Sony's decision, while acknowledging ongoing development and potential technological support from Xbox.
