Sony sits on the gaming industry throne after bringing a plethora of fantastic games to PlayStation. But it seems like Microsoft has plans and wants to take over the Japanese multinational with its future projects. Additionally, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer’s update from the recent visit to Japan points to a bright future.

Microsoft founded Xbox in 2001 to enter the gaming industry and compete against Sony. The American multinational has always created excellent consoles. However, Xbox’s biggest problem was not having a good library compared to the Japanese giants.

Xbox Chief linked to Hideo Kojima during his visit to Tokyo
Phil Spencer recently visited Tokyo, Japan to attend Tokyo Game Show 2022. In addition, the event was attended by many famous video game developers. One of those many game developers was Hideo Kojima, the Japanese genius and mastermind behind games like the Metal Gear Solid series and Death Stranding.
Kojima recently shared some pictures with Spencer visiting his office. It’s no secret that Xbox and Kojima Productions are cooking up something exciting. We already saw in August that Xbox Game Pass for PC added Death Stranding, an action game developed by Kojima for PlayStation.

Also, Spencer shared in a recent interview that he knows Sony is better than them in the gaming industry. However, he also wants to improve the Xbox by doing business and investing to strengthen the brand’s name in the gaming industry. Spencer even said he loves visiting Tokyo, where he meets talented developers and has a partnership with Kojima Productions.
Kojima even appeared on Xbox & Bethesda Showcase 2022 and shared his excitement about working with Xbox’s cloud technology. So Xbox fans should look forward to playing a Kojima masterpiece in the future. However, this news may not be very happy for PlayStation fans.
How did fans react to Spencer’s visit to Kojima Productions?
Spencer visiting Kojima Production Studio drew more attention from PlayStation fans than Xbox fans. PlayStation fans weren’t happy with this collaboration. Some even claimed that Spencer and Kojima don’t look good sitting together. Let’s take a look at some of the fan reactions.
That’s disgusting. Kojima and Microsoft just don’t mix well with me lol

I can now say that Death Stranding was my last game of yours. I was expecting your new project, but now that you’re dating the American devil with infinite money… you’re gone for me.

I feel kind of bad for all my fellow Playstation players (especially considering that most Kojima fans play on Playstation). Thankfully I can play on PC, but not everyone has that opportunity. Hopefully the game will be marketed only for Xbox or Times Exclusive so everyone can enjoy it.
