2008 was a good year for Konami — you could say it was solid. This year isn't so solid.
Later this week, Konami is expected to announce its earnings for the April-September 2009 period, and the company expects a 22.5 percent drop in revenues compared to the same period last year. The companies net income is expected to plummet to $24 million, an 81.6 percent drop.
Metal Gear Solid IV was released worldwide on June 12, 2008.
Even with the steep drop off, Konami does expect some sales growth during this fiscal year.
