I wonder what this 8th generation has in store for 3rd parties in regards to bankruptcy/mergers/etc....will we see a major 3rd party go away, like what happened to THQ?

You bet.

And I suspect Capcom might be the one to go first, it certainly won't be EA or Activision to bite the bullet.

Neh.. You'll probably will see a shift from them going from consoles/handhelds to social games and mobile.. Which is understandable when that market is bigger then consoles in a country like Japan.. Capcom already announced a lot of stuff for it

Well, if they're gonna be mostly on social platforms and mobiles, that's gonna be a radical change for them anyway, or at least I think so.

It's not death, it's being reborn without even dying.
