Ever heard of ROK Pictures? They were one of the big 5 studios during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It's not unheard of for companies that were major players or even dominated in their respective industries to lose their place because of changes in it. I can name "beasts" as you call them in many different industries that are now either long gone or nothing like their former selves. I'm not talking about next generation, I'm talking about generations from now where things will be much different than they are now. |
I'm not denying this is a possibility (albeit slim), but that's why I said 10 years (being pretty extremely conservative there).
I can understand you takling about generations from now, but I don't see the point. We have no idea where gaming will go, hell, do we even know how games will play 2 gens from now? What about next gen?
The only thing we're sure of is the direction is no longer purely on the visuals, which is what has been ramping up the development costs. The costs slowing down and becoming more manageable seems like a reasonable assumption to make, after seeing the winners (in profits, not revenue) this gen.
