I'm affraid that it will take them too long to realize the situation, that by then it may be too late to save some of them and that the answer to solve their problems may go against our interests.
I think that the turning point will be after Christmas 2014 when publishers unveil the results of the 3rd quarter. That's the crucial quarter for them, the one when they post the profits that change their negative numbers from the rest of the quarters and allow them to profit, and by then we'll already be in the new gen and not between the transition. And I think the results won't be any good, posting mininal profits if at all that will lead to very bad anual results and shareholders angry and demanding for a turnaround.
And the answer, I'm affraid, will be less focus on console gaming and more on mobile gaming. Will this be the solution to their problems? No, I don't think so.
PS: As the others have said, it's nice to see you're back.
