KONAMI has decided to no longer pursue games that have budgets like MGS and Pes. Those are the company exceptions. ALL of KONAMI's other IP's - Castlevania, Contra, Bomberman, Yu Gi Oh,  Frogger, their arcade catalogue ext, DO NOT need and never had those budgets. AAA is a term related budget size of a games development. It just means when KONAMI puts out console games they will have mid to low tier budgets. That is fine. 

Okay, and I can see those games getting small digital releases. Retail games for new consoles are pretty much considered AAA this gen unless it's painfully obvious the budget is small. If they made a new Silent Hill game, they'd probably consider that AAA. I'm willing to bet their retail offerings will be almost abysmal this gen.

You are full of shit. 

But first - Does anybody else agree with post. This could actually shed light.
