Then you should have read it RVDondaPC, because that's not what he was showing with the graph. He was using the graph to show that despite declines this year, Game sales are still at near all time high levels. He's not saying sales are declining. He's saying that despite huge sales, developers are in trouble.
And he's right. If games are selling so phenomenally well, why is it that so many companies have closed down and so many people have been laid off? Try reading it. It's a good read. |
its the ECONOMY!!!!!!!
not this guys logic.
that is why companies are going bankrupt the ECONOMY!!!!!!!!

It's not the economy, it's poor management. He is using the closure of developers as a sign of hurt in the industry. But that is wrong. The industry is changing and that reveals which companies are well managed and can adapt and which companies are poorly managed and will fail. The only thing that effects the health of an industry is the demand from the consumer and it is at an all time high. Great companies will take advantage of this shift and bad companies will fail. Leaving an industry of well managed companies which will make the industry prosper greatly.
The dynamics of the demand from customers is growing. The demand for super high budget blockbusters are growing and the demand for cheap downloadable games are also growing. If a company makes a poor decision in it's ability to develop a high budget game without being able to make a game that will sell then that company will go under. But the investment capital in the industry will not disappear it will just be moved around from one company to the next. This industry is growing and prospering like never before. The failure of a company in a growing industry only fertilizes the industry for a better company to take it's place.

wow i dont know what planet you live on but on planet earth the economy is really bad and its made 100s of companies go bankrupt.
|
it's not the economy though, not in this case. How can you say it is the economy when people are spending that much money on video games? The revenue for video games is still there, people are going out and buying video games. The problem is the costs are getting out of control.
The problem isn't management, although good management is the solution to the current problem. They can't afford to run the companies like they did in previous gens.

were not talking about who's buying the games.
we are talking aboutthe companies and developers. not customers.
and its the companies being effected not the people.
and thats why companies are going bankrupt
