This week on The Trophy Room, we break down the reported reasons Sony walked away from Kojima Productions' ambitious action-espionage game before Xbox stepped in to publish the project. New reports claim PlayStation had concerns surrounding PHYSINT's budget, potential profitability, missed deadlines, and its planned exclusivity. With Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2 reportedly falling short of PlayStation's revenue expectations, Sony was allegedly reluctant to invest hundreds of millions into another Kojima Productions project. So, did PlayStation make the right business decision, or could walking away from Kojima come back to haunt them? We also dive into Marvel's Wolverine now that Insomniac's massive PS5 exclusive is finally here. We share our impressions of Wolverine, discuss the reaction surrounding its launch, and break down some of the biggest conversations happening around the game. Plus, the results are apparently in on the PlayStation Blackout. Circana analyst Mat Piscatella says the week-long PlayStation boycott over Sony's decision to move away from physical media resulted in "no significant change" to player counts or overall platform engagement. What does that mean for the physical games movement, and where does the conversation go from here?
