Der er ingen tvivl om, at der er store problemer i forholdet mellem Hideo Kojima og Konami, der er gået ned ad bakke den seneste tid, ikke mindst på grund af nedlukningen af Silent Hills-projektet, og deres udtalelse om, at de i fremtiden ønsker at fokusere udelukkende på mobilspilsmarkedet.
Mange fans var rasende og bekymrede, men nu har Konami været ude og fortælle Polygon, at de undskylder overfor deres fans for den voldsomme udtalelse, og understreger, at konsolspil stadig er en vigtig del af firmaets fokus, og vil forblive det i fremtiden. De fortalte også at Metal Gear og Silent Hill-franchiserne begge er vigtige for firmaet, og at de fortsat vil udgive spil i begge serier.
"Our aim is to continue to build up a comprehensive portfolio of console, arcade, and card game titles for each IP while also making the best possible use of the mobile devices that accompany our customers in their daily life, thus expanding the limits of entertainment and appealing to more and more customers."
"We would also like to take this opportunity to state that the Metal Gear and Silent Hill series, both beloved by countless fans around the globe, are also extremely important to Konami. We have nurtured them with care over many years since their inception, and will continue to produce products for both franchises, but we are not currently at a stage where we can announce the path these future titles will take. Konami will continue to embrace the challenge of creating entertainment content via different platforms; across not only mobile platforms, but for home consoles, arcade units, and cards, to meet the changing needs of the times."
Det lader altså til, at fans af både Metal Gear og Silent Hill kan ånde lettet op, men hvorvidt denne seneste udtalelse er nok til at berolige de sure fans, vil tiden vise.
