I'm very worried for the industry as a whole. What was once considered a success for a game is now considered a failure, and I only see the stakes being higher next gen. Don't be surprised if 5mil is considered a failure in the 8th gen.
Whats worse is that most publishers don't seem to understand why their games are not selling. Cevat Yerli explained that the reason why Crysis 3 did not sell well was because people are tired of the PS3/360 and that the current gen platforms are limiting them. We that this is not true and that the reason why Crysis 3 sold bad was because the game was mediocre. Yet they think that new powerful hardware will somehow make their games sell and unlock the secrets to making a good game.
I expect many studios to close down in the 8th gen. Even more than this gen.
