Metal Gear Saga? Silent Hill & Dragons? Konami Has Set its Sights on Mobile

MCV, with the help of Neogaf and Google Translate, has figured out Konami's next move in the wake of "losing" (?) Hideo Kojima and doing all that doom and gloom stuff with their stocks: mobile!

Konami CEO Hideki Hayakawa, in an interview with Nikkei (which has since been run through the Neogaf translation filter), explained that the publisher plans to "pursue mobile games more aggressively," and that "Mobile is where the future of gaming lies."

Granted it's not like Konami hasn't released mobile games before, but this increased focus could be interesting. Or horrible, depending on how they want to handle it. Hayakawa's comment on how the company's games“must move from selling things like ‘items’ to selling things like ‘features’” doesn't exactly inspire confidence, though. But only time will tell.
