So basically the last 3 years have been disastrous for many publishers (except for Zynga and Actiblizzard for the most part). Should be no surprise there. High development costs and languishing Wii/DS software sales are likely the cause. Hopefully development costs for the eighth gen aren't even higher or we're going to be seeing a lot more gaming companies declaring bankruptcy. The model isn't sustainable for mid-level publishers and we're seeing the results in declining stock values and multiple closings.
