Not saying it will lead to the demise of certain projects but at the very least Konami has to take a step back and take a look at things and see what direction they should be going in. |

Maybe they simply invested less money on games.
I dont know, I dont have enough information to know what they will be doing with suikoden. |

Try reading the article again.
The actual revenue is down only 22.5%
2008 saw the release of big name titles, namely Metal Gear Solid 4. There's nothing this year that could compete with that. It also states that virtually all big-name releases fall under the second half of this fiscal year, this report is for the first half.
And it clearly states that the figures are approximatly the ones they expected. There's no problem here, don't make one up. _________________ Prejudice is a great timesaver. It enables you to form opinions without bothering to get facts. |

I agree with raww I'm sure some of that is damage control but even the stock drop was relatively small, so I don't think it's a big deal, if the stock holders aren't jumping ship you can probably count on them putting a little more money into production to bring the numbers up for the first half of next year. _________________

My brother told me that the guy at the games store said Tierkreis was being discontinued. As in, no more new copies of Suikoden Tierkreis games will be on the shelves. Not sure if this is just a rumor, but if that is the case, wouldn't that be somewhat of a grim foreshadowing of Suikoden's future? |

That'd be -ing excellent for Suikoden's future if we never have to see it get raped again. _________________ Prejudice is a great timesaver. It enables you to form opinions without bothering to get facts. |
