Konami have it easy. Kojima pretty much gave them a free ticket to remake Metal Gear 1 and 2 in the Fox Engine with the uh... 'story changes' that would need to take place.
I remember reading about how Dragon Collection changed their perception of the market though - they made a huge amount of money from very low dev costs, and that's why they've been chasing the mobile bubble ever since.
I think the Konami who green lit things like Beyond the Labyrinth; Death Jr.; Lost in Blue; Metal Gear Ac!d etc. is long gone. But that's not exclusive to Konami really, that's today's market for you.
Whether Silent Hill; Suikoden and Metal Gear live on is the big question, imo. And it will be interesting to see what they do in the coming years.
