It is scary but a side-effect of competition nonetheless. We'll probably end up in a situation like the OS market where there are only 2 head honchos and everyone else has been bought out.

 

Yeah, look at wikipedia's list of video game publishers:

There's a great amount of lines saying "acquired", "merged" or "defunct".

 

It's only going to get smaller. We'll just have big guys with lots of studios because everyone needs a big corporation to back them these days. This is probably why second parties exist as well (thinking Insomniac especially)
