Konami is predicting an 88% profit boost, due mostly to MGS4
Konami is forecasting some rosy numbers for the first six months of the fiscal year. They are forecasting an 88% rise in profits to ¥11.8 billion ($119.6 million), up from ¥6.3 billion ($63.7 million) during the same time last year. Konami attributes this largely to the adventures of a prematurely aged geriatric in Metal Gear Solid 4, which has shipped over three million copies worldwide as of August. Konami also expects revenue to increase by 9.8 percent to ¥146.9 billion ($1.49 billion). Now who says a PS3 exclusive can't prove to be extremely profitable for a third-party developer?
