That's pretty much expected. And they already recouped a lot of that with Ground Zeroes so it's pretty much certain to make a profit which makes you wonder what was really going on at Konami. Because there shouldn't be a problem if in the end it's profitable. Also for all we know it includes the development of the Fox Engine which is also used for PES.

Because breaking even or small profit isnt the goal, especially on pillar franchises.

They're not going to make a profit at all by disbanding Kojima Productions.
