Those who had predicted a catastrophic end for Konami after the departure of Hideo Kojima and the closure of major series such as Castlevania will have to think again. As stated by the company in a recent financial report about the third quarter of the current fiscal year, Konami has earned 181.9 million US dollars in profits, an increase of 229.8% over the previous year, with $1.44 billion of revenues, but these are dropped by 8.5%.
The Digital Entertainment has seen a drop in revenues of 9% over the previous year, amounting to 647.8 million dollars. In this area, the game that is giving the most satisfaction is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, which has been downloaded more than 25 million times since its launch in Japan on November 17.
So, it seems that digital and mobile areas are in some way paying back the company's efforts, which seems to have abandoned almost completely console and PC gaming market. Did you think it was going to be a worse result for Konami?
