Despite struggles within the console gaming sphere, Japanese game publisher Konami is reporting a growth in its net income, with profits up 147 percent.

Last year, the company reported profits totaling ¥3.8 billion ($31.7m). However, this year, it's enjoying ¥9.5 billion ($79.1m) in profits for its fiscal year, which ended on March 31, 2015. Interestingly enough, Konami expects to rake in the same figure over the next year.

While Konami has had its fair share of issues these past few months with the cancelation of Silent Hills and its deteriorating relationship with Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima, its gaming division is still its most profitable arm, thanks to Pro Evolution Soccer 15 and a new mobile baseball game called Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu, which amassed a whopping eight million downloads in its first four months.

Konami expects both Pro Evolution Soccer 15 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which releases this September, to be major sources of revenue this year. Of course, it also has its health, arcade, and gambling divisions to rely on as viable sources of income as well.
