I doubt it. They are more like scaling back, have been for years. They ruined their classic franchises long time ago (castlevania, Contra etc). They friggin cancelled a new Silent Hill game done by Guillermo Del Torro and their cash cow genius Hideo Kojima. Who the fuck does that? Same Kojima who is the main reason they been giving up, he is pretty much their only major talent and has been for 30 years, and he is leaving for sure after MGSV releases next month, after fighting with them regularly.
For PES I'm sure they will keep still releasing yearly, and they will try to keep doing MGS games occasionally without Kojima and fail (no talent, everyone leaving), and that will be it for them. They have been severely unambitious with PES for long long time so I hope they sell the rights and with the same Seabass production theme go a European or North American company, but doubt it.
Japanese gaming companies in general have been horribly outdated and dysfunctional for long time now internationally speaking. Barely doing anything new and almost self destructing (Sega, Capcom, Nintendo with nothing but remakes etc). Only decent one is square Enix, but they becoming more irrelevant with every new Final Fantasy edition.
