Konami's future lies in mobile game development, according to the company's new CEO, Hideki Hayakawa.
"We will pursue mobile games aggressively," Hayakawa told Nikkei Trendy Net (via NeoGAF). "Our main platform will be mobiles. Following the pay-as-you-play model of games like Power pro and Winning Eleven with additional content, our games must move from selling things like 'items' to selling things like 'features.'
"We saw with these games that even people who buy physical games are motivated to buy extra content," he continued. "The success of Power pro especially has motivated us to actively push more of our popular series onto mobile than ever before."
As such, it looks like Konami's presence in the console space will continue to shrink, which shouldn't be all too surprising, especially in light of the recent cancellation of Silent Hills and Hideo Kojima's reported departure from the company.
"Gaming has spread to a number of platforms, but at the end of the day, the platform that is always closest to us, is mobile. Mobile is where the future of gaming lies," Hayakawa added. "We hope that our overseas games such as MGSV and Winning Eleven continue to do well, but we are always thinking about how to push our franchises onto mobile there too."
What do you make of Konami's massive shift to mobile? Do you think it's a wise move for the publisher?
