Heck, the most current generation systems I've ever owned before was 3 (SNES, GB, and SG). I currently own 4 current generation systems. There are more systems, more games, and better sales now then ever before. |
It's not that HD consoles are expensive to develop for per se. It's that they allow for more spending in graphics, which became the norm for practically all retail PS3/360 games. It's an important distinction, in that developers could potentially make cheaper HD games, as long as they sell (which as I said may be a problem due to the current insane expectations).
And no, the videogame industry is not doing better than ever. Record revenues and low/no profits sums it up quite nicely for most publishers.
