Largely because the cost of making a game by the standards "expected" of them with the HD consoles ends up costing them so much that they absolutely must be multi-million seller games just to break even. Which most games, of course, are not. And as numerous financial reports from just about every company that is NOT Nintendo has shown, most of the long-timers in the industry are showing negative numbers lately ranging from near break-even to "how are these people still in business?". |
Some developers are, like Capcom and Activision. Guess which system they give some of the credit to, though.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
