I already said before, if publishers feel that they are losing money nexxt gen, they just need to rise the price of the games($60 to $70 for example), and profits will remain at least as before.

That will once again not solve the cancer that is the problem but just postpone it. Only games will be heavily invested in to which will sell on day 1...since all gaming companies want those first day sales before the used games cycle begins.

Also Andorid and Apple devices are offering games for 1/10th the cost and some of them are pretty comparable. They can't afford to raise the prices. 

Games for PS2-XBOX cost $49 and the price was increased to $59 with PS360, so it's natural to expect another jump to $69 sooner or later.
