Eat shit.
Forever.

They could probably leave gaming altogether and they'd still be fine.Fixed.
Also, I will be here laughing at their faces, posting in the thread "Konami is officially dead - bankruptcy proceedings announced"
Yeah, Konami is just late to the game and now drastically and rashly transforming.
Squeenix is trying to bounce back. Konami is just jumping ship. It's a lot closer to what Capcom did - and kinda failed.
The thing is look at what they did to Kojima and PT. Anyway it's a good thing I never believed Verendus about new Suikoden at least it doesn't hurtmuch.
MGSV and PES aren't out yet.Saying that they are focusing aggressively on mobile doesn't exclude developing games for consoles.
In fact he says:"We hope that our overseas games such as MGSV and Winning Eleven continue to do well, but we are always thinking about how to push our franchises onto mobile there too."
He confirms console games will continue to be developed, but they are focusing on mobile too.

Forever.
are there any mobile yugioh games? If not, I would be surprised
Is this what we call an overreaction to market trends?

Doesn't sound different from other japanese companies like Capcom and S-E tbh.

Read it again, he's saying that they are always thinking of how to push those franchises on to mobile too.

Yeah, I don't see Konami failing like Capcom did.This fiscal year has phenomenal mobile results for several major traditional Japanese publishers and Konami's are improving notably so I don't think there's too much reason to be skeptical that they can handle it.
Copy bump.
To note, for the Power Pro game he mentions, it came out recently and was grossing in the range of many hundred thousand to $1 million or so a day based on what its positioning was and what other at that position tend to gross.
What is wrong about that? They are trying to expand their market. As long as console games are still there, i don't care.

With Kojipro gone most of the talent left in the company will also be gone.It's crazy how people just want to say Konami is dead. He just confirmed console games will continue to be developed yet everyone is saying they are dead.
The Kojima-Konami feud is a different matter. They cancelled Silent Hills because was so involved it was impossible to continue a game without the original creator.
This is incredibly telling and the first I've seen a Japanese C-level admit it publicly, FWIW: AAA HD titles are being produced almost exclusively for export right now. There's no real base to sell PS4 titles to in Japan, so anything made has to be made with an eye toward export to be profitable. If it's domestic-oriented, it's going to mobile devices.
Really, as angry as I know people are at Konami (and as shitty as they've been to some of their former developers), he's just stating the market reality in Japan. If you want to make enough money to prosper, you develop for mobile or maybe the 3DS. Very little else makes sense right now. It's a grim, grim reality that has a lot of us in the loc biz setting our jaws, but it's there.
Capcom is doing a dual transition to mobile/online and digital (note all the online, episodic, download, and heavy DLC games) with a couple of big retail games, often as bases for selling lots of DLC later.Nope.
Capcom at least has:
Monster Hunter 4/5
Street Fighter 5
Resident Evil 7
Dragons Dogma Online
Devil May Cry 4SE/5
Square Enix have even more and seem to b investing more into PS4 than PS3. Konami seems to be going all into mobile if rumours are true.
