One devoted development studio is all mobile really needs though. The amount of work relative to console/PC games is a lot lower. It's not like other primarily console/PC studios and outside contractors don't also work on mobile games for them. They've got a decent number of mobile games coming out this year:

I counted 10, though doubt many of those are coming over probably why I haven't heard of them.  Having one dev studio on mobile isn't the problem.  Throwing your entire company into mobile is.

Agreed and that was actualy the point I was trying to make. It's not an either/or scenario. SE actually have quite a well-balanced output on consoles, PC and mobiles. Konami pushing strongly into the mobile sector shouldn't be impacting on their other gaming segments in the way it has been. It's horrible mis-management considering the strength their franchises hold (or held considering they've let most of them fall to the wayside).
