Why are developer's complaining about the generation being to long?

People gave opinions, the profitability of the market is a fact. That is why.

The market isnt growing but selling a game to a installed base of over 120 million consumers across PS3/360 is more likely to produce revenue than a new game with greater development costs on a new system with about 3 million units. This can also be due to the global recession.

 

The developers are only telling the manufacturers that they are ready for the next step because they need to start planning it and the manufacturers dont seem very interested in rushing out new systems as they are making good money with the current ones still.

Saying things like people just buy the same game 3 times on one generation is silly. Saying that a new system is less risky for new IP's is also silly. Its all in the advertisment and a quality product.Its more like: a bad new IP has a bigger chance to not do so bad if it has imba graphics despite beeing crap.

That's why I said, if you disagree with the points raised, challenge them. Don't quote me, quote them!

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There is no reason to raise debate when their points are not based on anything but personal opinion.

We have fact = the numbers. They say the market isnt growing, but they also say games like MW3 and skyrim beat sales records.

With those facts, make up your logic.
