How do you figure? The large studios aren't expanding and working on more games, they are actually aquiring more studios and teams to work on less games. 10 studios are working on AC Unity, 10! It makes no difference whether COD is a three year development cycle cause they have so many damn studios working on them one is released every year. Why not just have a group working on COD that releases every three years and then the rest of the stuidos could work on something different, maybe multiple different smaller less costly titles. In 2013 Ubisoft released 12 games, 2012-24, 2011-28, 2010-23, 2009-31, 2008-32. Oh and 2014 is looking to have 10. 

Less games. 


don't take this as fact but may be and just may be, because the studios started working on next gen titles, and 2013 and 2014 suffered from it (and the demand in 2013 wasn't as big as 2008 or 2010) and the increase of demand for new gen the increase of new games.


I guess time will tell. But don't forget, you said it yourself, games are taking longer to develop now as well. 

Unless there has been a HUGE decrease this shows that it has steadily been rising http://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/esa_ef_2013.pdf The exception is the retail sales has went down due to digital sales going up, but it has slightly declined since 2010 but is still up from 2008. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
