Newsbrief: Following a move that saw Konami's U.S. president become the company's European president earlier this week, the company has now revealed who is set to fill the empty U.S. position. Tomoyuki Tsuboi is now Konami's new U.S. president, taking over from Shinji Hirano who is currently overseeing the company's core games strategy in Europe.
