Consoles will continue to struggle? Are they struggling now?


In fact i think they could be.

PS3 took years until it started to give any kind of profit, xbox loosing 2 bi for microsoft and Nintendo out of touch with the market, and paying for this.

Developers are also on a similar boat, millions spend without any assurance of return, some reporting loses or really low profits.

3DS losing to ds, even with VITA being dead. VITA being dead.

 

I am not sure the industry is sustainable at all.


You're comparing the cost of making a PS3 back in the day with the cost of making a PS4 now. You need to read a bit on that before you make such a claim. There's too many things wrong with your comparison here.

And not all developers are making losses - those without compelling products or who go way over budget sure are. Look at Irrational. They wouldn't have been in trouble if they didn't take 6 years to make 1 game.

3DS and Vita are handhelds - not the same as consoles.
