Ironically, the industry WILL end up in the stone age if it keeps going the rate its going. Look at all the bankrupt companies already, and this is with the CURRENT gen. Imagine what could transpire next gen, with even further skyrocketting costs. The Wii route was the correct direction to go from a business standpoint, but the industry shunned and mocked it, sticking with their old ways. I have a feeling that they will soon regret that. |
That's looking at a small segment of the industry though. There are plenty of small indie developers, startups, and smaller Kickstarter funded devs that are actually doing quite well. How many of them will migrate and develop for consoles? There are Indie (low budget) games on PC that manage to push visuals beyong the current consoles. It's possible to do, as always though, the developers have to be intelligent about how they go about it.
