Wow, you really don't get it do you? What he's saying is that the industry is not sustainable under the current model. Unless you're someone like Activision or EA it's becoming more and more apparent that many of these big games are not making enough for what they cost to make. Why do you think that SE was disappointed by the sales of Tomb Raider despite the game selling over 3m copies in its first month? Why do you think that so many Sony studios were closed recently? Did Zipper, Psygnosis, 989 Studios, Incognito, Lightbox Interactive, SuperBot, Sony Liverpool and Sony Cambridge just decide they didn't like making video games anymore? How about THQ, Factor 5, Bizzare Creations and dozens of other devs in the last five years? http://www.lazygamer.net/general-news/depressing-list-of-studios-that-have-closed-in-this-generation/ Did they just shut down for the hell of it? Perhaps you should try reading this article, also from Forbes.com, and watch the following YT video: http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2013/06/14/why-xbox-one-and-ps4-have-me-worried-for-the-future-of-games/
