Konami president reveals Xbox 360 exclusive title

Japanese giant to reduce number of titles released as next-gen consoles arrive

Konami president Michihiro Ishizuka has revealed that the publisher is currently working on an all-new title for Xbox 360, hinting that it will be exclusive to the platform.

In an interview with Japanese magazine Toyo Keizai partially translated by Gamespot, Ishizuka says: ""[We will] provide one or two flagship titles for each machine, which will take advantage of their capabilities as next-generation consoles.

"We will release a new Metal Gear as a flagship title for the PS3, and are developing an original product for the Xbox 360."

He goes on to suggest that we can expect see a smaller range of Konami titles on the shelves in the future.

"Most of the titles that don't require full use of technology will be released on multi-platforms, including PC. We will need to narrow down the number of titles that we release."
