Hero to arcade rats, Konami, predicted their net income would drop 82% (to 2 billion yen) as compared to last year's six month period (12 billion yen) ending on September 30th. The dramatic drop is most likely due to the fact Konami hasn't put out much of anything lately, and the large revenue from MGS4 last year makes it hard to compete.
Also with that, Konami expects a climb to 16 billion yen next year, but of course, they aren't sharing
exactly why.
