Still have that chat? 3rd parties miss the boat at the beginning of the generation and did nothing to catch it up later. But their strategy start to pay off. For example in Japan the ps3 at last is selling more than the wii because it has more regular new release of big games.
One word about dead space: first the game sold much under the expectations of EA on HD consoles. second i was send to die on the wii: the only people that know about the franchise are the HD owner, and they all run away from the prequel as soon as they know it will be on rail. Last a really ugly cover and no advertisement to be sure no one knows about the game and they don't take it by chance in the store and you have a bomb.
But we must first concentrate ourselves on the way to entertain people, for video games to live. Else, it's a world where sales representative will win, which has as effect to kill creativity. I want to say to the creators all around the world:"Courage, Dare!". Shigeru Miyamoto.
