No, they need to save themselves. Also, its been proven time and time again you do not need a huge budget to make a big splash on consoles.They dont need help making more costly games. They need to learn to use what they have to do it.

never said they need help making costly games. sony, ms have to lower development costs by next console generation

Oh I see must have read wrong or whatever. I do somewhat agree with this. But at the same time the devs are choosing to go all out even though they are constantly loosing money. With higher tech comes added cost and the battle of graphics is going to lead to very few games. In away the "industry has worked itself into a bit of a corner. However, as the Gen has shown you dont have to go all out to make the big bucks. Sooner or later all the devs hardware/software will reach this point and go out of buisness or adjust. I actually find it pretty exciting. I see more companies focusing on the basics instead of pure horsepower in the future. Im sure we will still have those big AAA awesome looking games, but there time of being the norm is ticking away.

Thinking about it a little more I dont recall all the good NES/SNES/GEN/PS1/etc games pushing the limit like has been done this gen. They need to learn to be more selective again. Only push the games you know almost 100% you will get what you spent back and more.
