If its true then they might be the first "victim" of next gen gaming. Damn. I didnt liked DMC. But its sad news. I am wishing them best of luck.

 

Current AAA business model is really broken. Gaming industry needs to crash for the sake of its future well being.

Bloated AAA business model is surely broken for whichever title isn't able to sell many million copies, but the situation is not so dire: for example Eastern Europe has many talented developers that managed to keep costs under control while offering near AAA quality for graphics and often more than AAA titles for gameplay, title depth and overall value, like The Witcher series, such devs and publishers could be taken as example by other devs that can't afford the bloated AAA model.
Besides this, XBOne and PS4 are basically customised PCs, so ports from PC will be quite easy, but also ports from tablets shouldn't be too difficult, in this case the only problem will be pricing, console producers will have to include low list price - low royalties offers in their pricing policies, if they are interested in having some games in their libraries.

Agreed.
