I'll look for Tokyo Game Action, thanks. 3D Realms didn't shut down, they just laid off the DNF team (at least that was the official statement).
This doesn't say much if you can't compare it with last generations.
True... I think mergers and buyouts have been common for a long time, with publishers like EA buying a lot of smaller publishers and developers.
I doubt the layoffs and studio closings were as common during the previous gen though... maybe one day we can make a comparison if someone gathers the data.
