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

I can say now that Death Stranding was my last game from you. I was expecting your new project, but now that you are with the american devil with infinite money… You are gone for me.

kinda feel bad for all my fellow Playstation players (especially considering most kojima fans are on Playstation) fortunately i can play on PC but not everyone has this possibility. hopefully the game is only marketed for xbox or a times exclusive so everyone can enjoy.
