One angle here I am bringing up, is that it is like the videogame industry is banking on next generation platform to suddenly make it profitable. It was said above that the industry needs a new platform to release a new IP. But, what makes people think the platform sales, and dollars spent, is going to make them profitable? What if the industry goes EXTREMELY hit drive, and all people remain married to is the old IP from this generation, and maybe a handful of new ones? What if the amount of money doesn't change, or even goes down? I would say go down, at least, on games, because people pumped a bunch of money into a platform, if they do?
The movie industry doesn't seem to have this problem, at least from what I can see.
