Sorry but no, Konami are the owners of the franchise and they have the final say on everything, even on Kojima stories, this is not different compared to the current Lucasfilm Canon Story Board case, they can retcon any parts of the Star Wars saga, even Lucas movies, Solo being a married man is one of the many examples of that. Hideo Kojima's original story will always exist, regardless of what Konami does. Any future Konami productions will not be part of Kojima's story. Konami can do whatever they like (have their "final say") with their own "canon," sure. But it will always exist apart from Kojima's universe, just as the sequel trilogy exists apart from Lucas's trilogies (to employ the over-used Star Wars analogy). I wouldn't be so sure about that. See, if that was truly the case, then any deviances from the plot would have Kojima going all Queen of Hearts "Off with their heads" to anyone who deviated even slightly from his vision literally (and I do mean the appropriate use of the word. I mean he actually would commit murder for extremely petty reasons relating to that). Same with Star Wars.
