Could Microsoft land a deal with Konami to counter Sony's deal with KojiPro?

That's a common misconception. Makes sense when you spend a lot of time on forums, but most gamers don't and the vocal minority online does not always represent them. Just a few months ago a Yu-Gi-Oh! game on ps4 was one of best selling games of the month on ps4. And that was still a Konami game.

I may not like Konami, but nothing will stop me from buying a game I like just because of the company. I believe that most gamers simply don't give a damn. Look how well "evil" EA and Activision are still doing.

Yugioh is not an IP that really screams "Konami" though

they are more likely to see adverse results for some of their more iconic brands that the fans might backlash; i.e. Metal Gear, Castlevania, etc.

What about the hate EA has been getting since... forever? Fifa is selling incredibly well and it's one of their most iconic brands. Same with Battlefield. And it's not like people don't have other options (e.g. a Star Wars fan is gonna buy the Star Wars EA game because there is no alternative).

I knew that Konami was the one who was making yugioh games even before I had even heard of Metal Gear. It's quite hard to miss.
