Yup. Konami are being stupid by cutting console development entirely.
But hey, here are PES sales. FYI Fifa is >15m each year. Do keep in mind that whilst PES sales are dropping you now have mobile version + monetisation built in to the games.
Venom Kojima and Iga's war against Konami has only just begun.Kojima smiled in the shadow "I did it before you guys so no one would ruin my franchise"
Such a lust of genius
They're making pachinko machines out of them already.
You can bet they'll make a cheap, low-budget, horrible Silent Hill mobile game at some point.
oh, for fuck sake, he said multiple times that he is not interested in developing new Metal Gear games. Give him a decent budget and let him do whatever he want.Sony should snap up Kojima Productions and the MGS IP.
Just let Kojima get on with it and produce a game every 5 years or so. They've bankrolled and stood by Team ICO all these years, please do the same with Kojima.
So MGS,Silent Hill,Castlevania,etc are dead?
I suppose the real question is if they'll bother to monetise their IPs via outsourcing or outright selling licenses, or if they'll squat on them. Even if I disagree with their direction, corporate greed that benefits the short term dollar does not go hand-in-hand with squandering properties that at the very least could fetch a pretty penny from interested parties. Metal Gear would be swept up in a second, and I imagine Silent Hill and Castlevania would have to be of some interest.
Then again, they may with to hold on to the properties for the sake of legacy, accessibility for churning out re-releases, capitalising on digital sales, and branding their pachinko machines.
Wish they would stop making PES as well so the UCL license becomes available.

ALL
DEAD
Konami is like that villain that is in the process of dying, but is desperately trying to drag the hero or one of his friends with him.
Basically...
Someone could perhaps buy the MGS IP.
You know some people never lose their accents, right?Mei Ling and her racist as shit voice acting in the PSX game made NO FUCKING SENSE.

Hate to say it, but squatting seems the likelier scenario to me. Japanese publishers in particular seem more attuned to that decision, if what I have seen is anything to go by. It strikes me as a distinctly Japanese model.
