@Netyaroze:

The companies' financial reports don't have enough detail to show this, but if you just look at everything they say about development costs, and then look at their revenue, it's painfully obvious that development costs have risen much faster than revenue.

If you compare to the last generation alone, development costs have risen between 3-4 times according to many statements from publishers... no way revenue has risen that much. Game prices (on the PS3 and 360) have increased by about 20%, and the size of the gaming public hasn't increased anywhere near 3 times (and it rose more on the Wii platform than on the HD platforms vs the PS2).
