I know that the market has hit the developers hard but I don't think Ubisoft will lose much money on the new Prince of Persia. Sure it won't be a blickbuster...but the devs made the game they wanted to make, and they hopefully get a little money back.

This happens in every industry. There are metal bands that smoke the "commercial" metal bands in jsut about every category...but because their sound isn't the currently popular one, they will never achieve the success of their inferior peers.

I'm looking at your Linkin Park...

Didn't Prince of persia break a mil? why is it's profitability in question? Surely, they weren't expecting gears 2 sales?

 

I think thats the point of OP. That these non FPS games are not breaking even hence the FPS ones will kill them off. There is no reason to kill off a game genre unless its not making money right...

 

Right. Besides, there are tons of FPS games which did poorly as well, people seem to forget that. How much did conflict:denied ops sell? The demo of that game was horribalistic!
