Sorry, Pal but I disagree with your assesment of the situation. Rol's thread is an idea or theory that has some merit or at the very least something to think about. Also I have my own assesment of who caused the de-railment and who's been trolling this thread on numerous posts, but I will not call anyone out..But here's a hint, it aint Rol.

Having reread the entire thread I would agree my assessment was off, I missed some posts that encited the responses from Rol.
I still maintain though there is nobody to blame other than developers for the problems they're facing. Hiding behind the HD graphics excuse is pretty lame when you consider PC developers have been using high resolution textures for years and many of them have survived well enough. The third parties that are losing money are those wasting it through bad budget managment and poor analysis of the expected market for their games.
I'm sorry I don't buy that the Wii and its large userbase is saving the industry argument. If you wanted to be truly objective then the argument works in reverse that if the Wii didn't exist then more users would have been investing in HD consoles and hence a larger userbase to sell games to. Therefore through this perfectly analogy, Nintendo has killed off the third party market. Of course this is an insane statement but its no more of a bad assumption than Rol's original point either.
