They won't ever sell an IP, but they will, hopefully, licence IP for making future console games, with potentially lucrative royalties without having to do any work other than paying lawyers to make sure the licencing agreement is good for them.
It means pretty open season for the big IP. I don't think Silent Hill being bought licenced by Sony, MS or Nintendo is that big of a deal. But if MGS was licenced by MS or Nintendo that would be a megaton, if they hire Kojima and allow him to carry on his vision MGS fans WILL buy whatever cnsole it comes to. It will be an interesting next year or so to see what licencing announcements get made.
Someone should make a thread listing all the main Konami IP and do a prediction league about whether the IP will gert liceneced and to whom.
