Hideo Kojima gave his first interview since Sony 'stepped away' from publishing Physint, the PlayStation-exclusive action espionage game from Kojima Productions that Xbox has since taken over publishing for. Reports had claimed Sony's decision stemmed from concerns over budget overruns, missed deadlines, and questions about the game's profitability and exclusivity value. Kojima addressed the accusations directly, responding to claims the project was over budget and behind schedule, while affirming that he still 'loves Sony' despite the falling out. The interview marks his most detailed public account yet of how the high-profile publishing shift came about.
