Do we should have to admit that HD gaming was too early and too high tech in video gaming business as of now? Why Nintendo not choose the HD model? I mean I have to upgrade my video card just to play COD 4 in medium settings. And that really costs me. 2009 next year was a very very long time for these 3rd parties and SONY and MS. Maybe to you thats short but every profit in a day counts, and so far they lose profits than gaining it. How much money they have to bleed anyway?
Making games expensive and takes many manpower to develop was a bad business model. Lets say what if we have a HD console game but in less expensive? Which means less graphics and design, will you buy it? Because thats whats 3rd parties are for now. They cant take a awesome graphics game so they will take a less graphics one. Which also means buying those systems makes no sense, most people buy those systems because of the graphics...
