They’re demise in console gaming is due to him leaving not because he stayed. Metal Gear Solid V is noted as one of the best stealth/3rd person shooters to exist.
He gave Konami their last hit game
They lost money on the game

That’s for one year. Having an increase in profit on the year the game releases, doesn't mean the game was worth the investment.Why lie, friend?

Again if the game was such a financial success then why didn’t they immediately throw more money at a sequel??

Breh, im not playing if’s, but’s, probabilities and the alignment of planets.
I just showed you konami ain’t lose no money on MGSV with actual numbers from Konami themselves. In what reality does a company generate profits from a game launch and later on lose money from it?
Make sense
"Phil Spencer is leading us to the promise land!"
"The nerve of this no talent irrelevant clown Kojima thinking anyone wants to hear his story".Only in the Arcadium and in video game stan world does this doc not make sense. I'm not even trying to defend the doc itself.
It's just weird that for example, movies traditionally give 90% of the credit to the director and 10% of the credit to the actors and completely ignore the 100's of people that worked on the project yet here we are drawing the line with Hideo Kojima and pretending the man hasn't made any contributions to gaming in general in the last 20 years. Even with music, albums take teams to make but the sole credit goes to the artist. Music videos...are called [insert artist's name]'s music video meanwhile completely overlooking the people that actually made the video, came up with the storyboards, lighting, staging, etc.
Not justifying it...again...it's a disingenuous to pop up and say "look at this arrogant has been kojima trying to make a doc" meanwhile, this sort of thing is commonplace and generally accepted. Funny how a leader can't take credit for anything but has to take 100% of the blame when something goes left. (See Kojima vs Konami).
That’s not what you link says.
You don’t even understand the shyt you posted. That’s profit for one year. They spent money developing and marketing that game for 7 years.
What they made off the game was not worth the investment according to their own management and shareholders which is why they got rid of kojima. He even wanted a higher budget for the game. If they let him get his way they would have gone bankrupt.
It was estimated that they would need to sell 6m just to break even. 7 years and hundreds of millions of dollars aren’t worth just barely breaking even. Nobody would sign up for that again.

“The nerve of this kojima fellow, the ego on this man!”

'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' Sells 3 Million Units But It's Not Out Of the Woods Yet
Since its release Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom has sold 3 million units globally but compared to its budget, it’s got a ways to go before it likely breaks even let alone makes a profit.

They spent lots of money on that fukkin game and they had to fire him to put it out when they finally did. He woulda ran their shyt into the ground if they let him have his way.
And I LOVED MGSV, probably more than most people here, but reality is, Kojima just wasn’t sustainable for Konami.

Konami hasn’t made the wisest business decisions over the past decade so a bit more
Kurt off them percs
With Booker T wife
He ruined MGS5 because he was reaching too much.
He spent most of the budget hiring 1 voice actor that barely had any lines. Traveling back and forth from the US and Japan. Along with other places.
Feel like this dude is living his Hollywood directing dreams through video games developing.
