"I think within the next few years, gaming will move on to streaming," Kojima said. "Movies, dramas, and games will all be streamed, and you'll enjoy them on your iPad or iPhone or a screen anytime, anywhere. When that happens, games, films, and dramas will have to compete in the same space. I'm very interested in the new format of game that will appear on there, and that's what I want to take on."
This is not the first time he says something like this, back in April he said the following:
"Many say it'll end in failure, but I think it didn't work out because the technology wasn't advanced enough," he elaborated. "Now that 5G has launched, we'll see a huge shift to cloud gaming during the next five years. Entertainment as a whole will change and allow more liberty." Kojima's latest project, "Death Stranding," has yet to see a release date or a confirmation on which console it will debut on first – the upcoming unnamed successor to PlayStation 4, or the PlayStation 4 itself. It's unclear if it will utilize any type of game streaming technology.
"We'll start seeing completely different games these next five years as 5G spreads," he said. "There's one big thing I have in mind related to streaming as well. I can't say anything more as I don't want to spoil though." He didn't explain further, but the meaning behind this cryptic nugget could have multiple meanings. With "Death Stranding" still in development, there will likely be some time before anyone finds out what he means.

"We'll have Tokyo Olympic in the year of 2020, and also the extreme change in entertainment industry will come in next 10 years with the arrival of the streaming and AI. I'd like to create something related to such new media and totally brand new entertainment for the tomorrow."
