''At the same time, we see this as a great opportunity to grow the breadth and quality of our PC games portfolio by publishing some of Konami's best console games for the PC.'' ''Microsoft and Konami are both committed to producing the world's finest games,'' said Kazumi Kitaue, managing director of Konami's Consumer Software Division. ''We are pleased to be entering into this strategic relationship, as it will allow us to leverage our position as one of the world's largest publishers of console titles and to watch Konami games flourish on the PC platform.'' Fries said the deal will help Microsoft develop new sources of revenue for the titles already selling on the PC...But Fries said more game players are switching between systems, so the deal makes sense...Both companies also noted that the alliance was a strategy to deal with growing consolidation in the games business..."
