*face palm*
how do these guys get and keep a job?
nintendo has always made a profit, in fact this time around every machine they sell gets them money as well as game money
to say that they will just stop after one more round is just stupid....
the same goes for Sony and Microsoft, they have learned their lessons from nintendo
as long as you can deliver fun you don't have to take huge leap just bigger steps in hardware
and i am sure many devs have learned a lesson
you dont have to try and tap every bit of potential a machine has right from teh start---build upon previous games
start by making a above average game---you will sell pretty well and get a return on your investment
now take the tools you have and fine tune them and release another game, this time its a rally good game
built upon last game you wont have to lose much in dev cost and you will increase your following now build a third game that uses all past experience and tools only now fine tuned to perfection---release a near perfect game
small steps building up to greatness
instead of this business model we got devs going for broke on one game and most of the time falling flat b/c they are trying to put all their eggs in one basket when they are not even sure if its a basket
