Sepreth(@Sepreth):Xbox’s deal for Hideo Kojima’s Physint is “substantially below what Xbox would typically spend to develop a premium game,” the New York Times reported in a profile of CEO Asha Sharma. A $400 million figure circulated last week. That is not the number the Times is describing. Xbox took the project after Sony canceled it. Kojima pitched Sharma himself. He told IGN Microsoft is “not thinking of just funding a game.” The deal includes movies and anime. “It’s more about the IP.” Physint has no date. It is expected after OD.
