| RolStoppable said: The video game industry has been on a severe decline this whole generation, but during the first half of this lifecycle it was covered up by the success of Nintendo systems and games which all sold leaps and bounds better than in the prior generation. Pretty much all the growth you have seen can either be attributed to Nintendo or the rising costs of Sony and Microsoft hard- and software gen over gen. When it comes to the number of gamers, the industry (Nintendo excluded) has terribly failed this generation by shrinking their market. If it weren't for the increase in multiconsole ownership, the numbers would look even worse. Now that Nintendo has destroyed their own market (by refusing to make games for these people which continues with the 3DS), it becomes obvious that the industry is in trouble. It has nothing to do with Apple though. They are basically just bystanders watching the video game industry destroy itself. |
Yes I can't wait for the next videogame crash. It's what us game players need to get back to what games used to be like.
