I remember when everyone thought Konami would die without Kojima.

 

[LectureMaster]

Konami gets it right.

I remember when everyone thought Konami would die without Kojima.

Which made no sense considering Konami has other businesses besides just video games, like their sports clubs, pachinko, real estate assets, etc. And even among games, they’re more than just MGS, which admittedly did die after Kojima left, but Kojima’s departure had little impact on their other game development besides Silent Hills.

Be Quiet.

In all seriousness Konami's performance of getting it right is mostly driven by efootball microtransactions and esports. So not sure how much you personally want more companies getting it right there but I'd take less of that and more of SH2.

Nice pun.

Regardless the profit portfolio, they seem to treat their beloved singplayer IP with more seriousness, so I think it's a good sign.

I get the idea, but a lot of these (Sony Group, Bandai Namco Holdings, Konami Group, Square Enix Holdings) do far more things than just gaming; music, films, electronics, anime, manga, financial services, etc.

 

[Deerock71]

Yeah, with Switch 2, Nintendo's going to storm the world again. Japanese devs will be in their hip pocket.

Most of them have no idea that THAT Konami (Konami Digital Entertainment) has a parent company (Konami Group).

 

[SweetTooth]

Konami has been rolling in cash since they got rid of Kojima with his outrageous Holywood inflated budgets.

It was the right call, kudos for their management.

 

[CashPrizes]

What did Konami even do this year to boost their profits? That Contra remake had little impact, Castlevania DLC for Vampire Survivors I am sure made them bank but couldn't have been too much seeing as how they only get a cut of $5 or whatever it cost. MGS3 Remake is not out yet. Silent Hill 2 is the only big game for them I can think of, couldn't have cost that much to develop and sold well.

Are we sure their profits aren't just from their health clubs and Pachinko machines and their other non-gaming crap?

Their gaming profits were mainly driven by eFootball.

When you cut the fat (Kojima) Profits will rise.

The Kiefer Sutherland hire was all about his ego. Game wasn't even good.

 

[Killer8]

They only improved:

Their operating profit this fiscal year was 80.26 billion yen.

 

[pulicat]

I remember when everyone thought Konami would die without Kojima.

Kojima nearly bankrupted them with his lavish spending for a single game.

New Momotaro game with 1.5m units sold with extremely low budget, plus eFootball mobile profits, and together with baseball game in Japan that outsold FF7 Rebirth.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

After falling behind during the PS360 era Japanese companies are back on top when it comes to quality.

It’s return to the PS1/PS2 era.

 

[Soodanim]

Konami seemingly stopped making games in favour of pachinko for a couple years because it was more profitable, but now they're back their stock has rocketed.

Now to Konami to completely regain their legendary status by making a good Rocket Knight again.

They primarily make their money elsewhere nowadays, not just video games. Casinos, real estate, etc.

Video games is by far their biggest revenue generator per their last earnings report.
