I do agree, high development costs are hurting the industry, they force publishers to concentrate on less titles, they do no longer look for fresh ideas and revolutionary games they practically remake generic shooters, racers with prettier graphics and a bit of new content.
Also with Big Games on HD consoles (with loads of Hype& Advertising) eating most of the sales, smaller less prolific titles cannot sell well and make profit for their creators.
And we got examples already of every big publisher being in Red in 2008 because of their overinvestment in HD gaming, with few studios being in financial troubles like Midway, Factor 5 etc. etc.
