They were actually among the best developers during the PS1 and PS2 eras, and they were the only third party worth a shit on the Nintendo 64. In fact, I liked Konami's N64 games better than I did Rare's N64 games. But their output has dropped rapidly since 2010 or so.
Part of the problem with the games division of Konami is that the company as a whole is fairly profitable, but their console games aren't. If console gaming were a bigger part of Konami's business I think they'd have done more to shore it up and keep folks like Kojima, Iga, Yoshitaka Muriyama, and Keiichiro Toriyama happy.
