Forums - Gaming - Konami CEO Calls Mobile ‘the Future of Gaming’ as Company Officially Shifts Focus

With all these companies going for a "mobile only" market, what will happen when the bubble bursts and people find another kind of entertainment? Seriously, you shouldn't put all your eggs in the same basket, specially if that basket looks like it's going to burst because of the pressure.


Maybe PlaystationNow will doom them

Apart from Ground Zeros Konami have done jack all for me on the console scene.

Good riddance.


Since when you started gaming?

Yeah, because crappy touch-screen controls, pay-walls, inferior graphics and not even full games and deeeefinitely the future of gaming.

God help us all....


I ll be semi-okay with it as long as;

1) its rpgs/visual novel/adventure (controls on a touch-screen phone = yikes for fps & platformers games)

2) its a full game (not a tiny f2p game), and not limited by size due to their need for high graphics. 

3) no pay-walls, no f2p games (pay for game and thats it)

Just take a look beside you. Square Enix started pushing fully into mobile like 4-5 years ago. Take a look at 2015, they are back into making console games (FF14, FF15, KH3, DQ Heroes, Thief series, Hitman series, Tomb Raider series, Deus Ex series) Obviously, if mobile has worked for Square, they wouldnt be making so many console games, right? Resource is finite.

Er, no. They're doing both, which is how it should be. They've released plenty of games on mobiles, consoles and PC, and they never stopped releasing games on consoles/PC when they pushed into mobile.

It shouldn't be an either/or scenario.

Well, if mobile really is the future, count me out.
I'll stay in the past with my dedicated consoles and handhelds, thank you.

Same here
