No I'm not talking about the recession, what I'm saying and what was pointed on in the post is that no one here is a CEO to a multi-billion dollar software publisher and half of us know shit all about the working of such a company much left the the developers that work under the publisher's umbrella.
All we're seeing is the result and that gives room for many armchair general to arbitrate about how obvious it is for a company to turn around and the obvious symptom of their problems (hint: you don't).
In short its much more complicaed than throw money at the wii.

This is too easy. It's like you didn't even read the thread:

With so many people on this site knowing so much more than existing game companies executives, why don't you guys band together and start your own company ?
Oh wait, it's because you are random anonymous people talking out of your ass on an internet forum with no real experience at all working in the software industry, even less the gaming industry...

There were a lot of people, laymen, who saw the problems with the American auto industry back in the 80s and even earlier. But the people with real experience working in the auto industry somehow seemed blind to the obvious problems.
I'm not saying that those claiming the video game industry is blind to its own follies are necessarily right, but it is foolish to assume that experience trumps the bias one gains from being personally invested in a situation.

What does the auto industry have to do with this? There's even a disclaimer at the end of the post stating A does not always equal B.
Is there a chance that the laymen is right? Certainly! But that is certainly not always the case! Generally speaking, when the laymen gets it right in contrary to the industry, its a monumental fuckup and everyone hears about it. When its the other way around, its just people doing there job and no one hears about it.
