As long as there's money to be made, the industry will move on...end of story. Gaming i s even more relevant that it has ever been with just about every entertainment device trying to tack them on now.

And that's why THQ went down, and many publishers are not making profits. 

And what changed since THQ went down? Business models are what prevents publishers from making profits. EVen if we regress back to only 2D sidescrollers, the show will go on...that much, I can guarantee.

Nah, we'll either see big AAA blockbuster tittles (your GTAs, CoDs, FIFAs etc) or indie games. Middle end software will disappear or become extremely rare. Games will either have to sell 5 million units to become profitable or become failures. Publishers will take even less risks than now. 

That's how I see the future of the game industry.

But the show will go on, yes? If it's nintendo  you're trying to defend, they're the masters of taking no risks on software.
