Gaming Industry is bigger then Movie Industry so it should be ok that the costs are equal. Some Blockbuster between 50-100 Million Standard games 15-30 Million SD games 5-15 Million and Wii ware Iphone PSN Xbox Live games 500k-2 Million.

I think thats ok. the drop off was there but the US had big problems because of the recession. So a drop off was unevitable. And thats just the US not even the half of the whole market. Are there numbers for the development world wide for 2009 ?

Its ok like it is today. Some Companys struggle but thats nothing new its always like this in every area of the economy. Some Companys lose some win.

Its good that the companys have to be more careful with their developments thats why the games have some minimum qualiity. Nobody would release a game for 20 Mln without doing the best.


Everything is domed always. Thats not a novelty. People always thought they will withness the apocalypse. This inner fear is now there at every possible level. This Company is domed the Youth is domed the state is domed the economy is domed the weather is domed the atmosphere is domed the western states are domed car manufacturors are domed manner are domed the language is domed Japan is domed Europe is domed USA is domed.

Nothing special will happen the industry will live and grow as long as it can offer new values and with new visual technologys and with new interfaces the market is going to be even bigger.

We will see companys which go down some big players will die some others will become even bigger.

The market will be different. Videogames have evolved there are different levels of development. A Snes game was about 250-500k a PS1 game was 1-2 Million a PS2 game was 5-10 Million. And PS3 games are 15-30 Million nothing special happened the costs grew with the size of the market. But the sales grew signifiantly. Its now at the level that HD games can be developed just from the bigger companys. And the small ones have to do PSN/Live games or handheld/wii games. It is a giant risk and nobody is allowed to fail. If he dont have the money but thats exactly what happened in hollywood.

The budgets are getting bigger and bigger. But is the movie industry domed ? Yes of course everything is domed.
