Konami is a company that usually reports financial reports with spectacular results, where it boasts a unique economic health, mainly thanks to its low spending on AAA games and the benefits that are reported everything foreign to pure and hard video games, be it marketing or pachinkos. The fact is that the financial report of this last four-month period does not seem too positive, since it records losses in the company's videogames sector.
What is the reason for these losses? Well, from Konami herself they make it clear, just as they have since GamingBolt: The fault is because they are investing in new video games. Developing a videogame costs money (so far the obviousness of the day), so companies must invest a certain amount that usually takes them out of account.
Once the development has been advanced and the project presented to the world, the markets usually react and the company begins to recover part of that investment, something that when launching the game becomes – in most cases – benefits.
In Konami they have affirmed that the profits of the company have been reduced this semester and that the thing will get worse in the following one, due to the «Increased production costs of new titles and research and development costs». Recently the return of Silent Hill was rumored, something that would add up to these costs on new developments.
We can also dream a little and imagine a new Metal Gear or Castlevania at the level of what fans expect. In any case, it seems that Konami is back.
