All other currently released games fall into the "Spinoffs/Other Category"

Any Konami released games would then be part of a "Konami Saga" or perhaps "Extended Saga", or something to that effect.

Nope. Too black and white. Splitting everything into "kojima" and "not-kojima" is just blatant fan-boyism.

There's the current "main timeline:" Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, Portable Ops, MGS4, Peace Walker, Metal Gear Rising, and MGSV. All these games establish themselves as being part of a single timeline, so that's how we present them.

Then, Metal Gear Ac!d has it's own timeline. These games establish themselves as being in their own secluded timeline. That's how we present them.

Ghost Babel is kind of a weird issue because it's actual story is it's own thing, then there's that line at the end that suggest it's part of Raiden's VR training, but whatever it could just be an easter egg and all the Kojima fanboys just stick their fingers in their ears and yell "it's not kojima so it's not canon" over and over so everyone just sort of forgets about it.

From there on out most of the other spin offs fall into their own separate continuity, except for stuff like Metal Gear Solid Mobile which is technically set between MGS1 and MGS2, but the game has such a non-plot that we all forgot it exists.

If the Konami games of the future try and fall between main timeline entries, we'll do our best to include them as and where they fall, but I personally think Konami won't want to mess with the established lore too much and will try and do their own thing. I mean, I don't actually have any idea what they'll do, but that's just my take.
