Will next gen end up with far less studios and people developing for it?

I am seeing bleeding ink and contraction going on with the videogames industry.  I am swearing that the number of studios declining and individuals being laid off.  Am I missing something or is the size of the people in the videogame industry making games for home consoles shrinking at this point?  Does that then mean less studios for next generation?  Anyone able to share light on this?  I am having a bit of a hard time narrowing things down.

The sizes of teams is not decreasing, take a look at this, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=152843&page=1

I wasn't speaking of the size of teams.  I was speaking of the amount of people working in the videogame industry over all on the AAA level.  I can see teams would continue to grow, but there be less of them.  That is the question.
