Just imagine what will happen with the next generation of consoles if development costs continue to almost double as they have over previous transitions. With smaller development companies already struggling to break even, I hate to think what will happen to them if costs continue to increase. I fear we will either be forced to pay even more for our games or that less risks will be taken and we will see endless franchises with few new IP's. The only way I see around this will be increasing digital distribution to cut costs or the growth of large publishers at the expense of smaller developers.
