People in the west seem to have become oblivious to the fact that Konami still makes games (and yes, by that I mean traditional video games)-- just that most of their library has become invisible from the POV of the west. Games like Momotaro Dentetsu and Pawapuro are doing plenty well in Japan.

The enthusiast gamer market is a bit too laser focused on AAA video games at times. They do make console games, but the only ones that give the slight time of day to are PES (or some remasters of games they already like).

I believe most of it is frustrated Metal Gear, Castlevania, or Silent Hill fans. Maybe even some old school Suikoden fans.
