Konami Smashes Lots of Wii and PS3 Titles

Konami has decided that they don't like the Nintendo Wii and PS3 that much because they have just canceled some Wii and PS3 titles. With this cancellation, the number of next-gen titles dramatically slims down.

The list of canceled games appeared in the latest issue of Famitsu and was picked up by IGN. Take a look at
the full list and weep:

Gradius Series (PS3)

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball (PS3)

New Action Game (PS3)

New Role Playing Game (PS3)

New Action Adventure Game 2 (Wii)

Role Playing Game (Wii)

I know that this is bad news for all next-gen owners but Famitsu does not give any detailed reason for Konami's cancellation. For all we know, these games could have been nothing more than concept documents. Is Konami capable to do such a thing? To announce a next-gen game only to create some fuss and to get their name mentioned in the headlines?
Anyway, they still have some next-gen titles lined up but after this cancellation, the list becomes slimmer and slimmer:

Pro Baseball Spirits Series (PS3)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

World Soccer Winning Eleven Series (PS3)

Music Simulation Game (Wii)

New Action Adventure Game (Wii)

Sports Game -- Soccer (Wii)

Sports Game -- Baseball (Wii)
