For a game with an $80 million dollar budget, they're probably not that happy with MGSV's sales. I'm sure it probably had a solid opening in most markets, but it's also likely dropping like a rock after that. I'm not sure it will get much past 700k in Japan.

It's their own fault. Lots of people pirated MGS V when they heard about how Konami abused it's employees.

Hope Sony can give them some change for Silent Hill IP.
Kojima can probably buy MGS himself.

They can sell the rest to Deep Silver.

What? Why Deep Silver?

Nah, they'll probably give it to Kojima. Kojima's a good friend of Sakurai after all.

Was just a matter of time...
Konami IP's should go to Sony.

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

They'll go to the highest bidder, which is worrying.

The PS5 Exists.

Konami isn't selling their IP, guys. They still make money from the brand.

You two seems to be too positive about this. Maybe you guys forgot what happened to the Bemani Mobile team?
