That's worse than I expected when I saw the thread's title.

I mean they're making money with their mobile and gambling devices. No reason for them, in a business sense, to invest in AAA titles or even tertiary titles anymore.

Looks like even their games said Fuck Konami.
Konami makes (made?) two baseball games a year for consoles/handhelds. There's Pro Baseball Spirits, which is the one with realistic player renders, and Power Pros, the cartoony bobble head one. The former usually comes out in the early spring and the latter in the fall. Looks like Konami baseball is dead on non-mobile platforms.
Just means Falcom doesn't have a booth/stage of their own at TGS.

What an awful move by Konami, this would be a prime opportunity to show off their pachinko line up...

Someone should just buy their MGS rights and then hire Kojima to make more games. Fuck it, throw Policenauts and Snatcher into the deal too.

You guys think MGSV will sell enough to recoup costs or post a profit?

"Yeah, well...fuck you." -Konami, probably
Of course it will.
So what you are telling us is that Falcom, unable to get a booth at TGS of their own, decided "Hey... Konami's booth is pretty empty!" and decided to show their game there?

I hope they sell their IPs really fast.

80 million dollars?
I'd rather have MGS be dead than in the hands of Activision or Ubisoft where it's yearly bullshit churned out. Can you even imagine?

I am not talking MGS, they have plenty others and the people who made those games could start make them again, just for another publisher.
Witcher 3 was around that amount and made it easily.

Yes. It will probably sell upwards of 6m units in its lifetime.

Let Kojima move on. I'd like to see what he can do when not shackled to Metal Gear.
Oh God no.

The only big franchise they have left is MGS V and Pro Evo. I doubt we'll see any games from them next year besides Pro Evo.
Lol, lovely preview of Konami's console future.
Without Metal Gear there, they are truly pathetic and worth absolutely nothing.
Easily yes.
MGS V will be a legacy title for current gen consoles/PC and have a long tail.
A lot of upgraders to current gen too will buy this game.

But they need them to create new pachinko machines.
I find the thought of Falcom just seeing Konami's empty booth and just decided on squatting in there hilarious.
Yeah. It's possible they have unannounced games, but that's an awfully small lineup. I'm shocked there are just two games for mobile. That and how, so far, a console Jikkyou Pawapuro game has yet to be announced...if they will announce it at all, at this point. Just, wow.
Thank God. Konami, stay the f away from Falcom. It is sad that I should even have to think that.

You're tearing me apart, Konami!
They could have at least go out with a blast, but then again that's not the Konami way.

MGS4 was a PS3 exclusive and sold 6 million. MGS V should honestly do that in a month or so. I think it will best Witcher 3 sales.
