| Ryng_Tolu said: Only because this gen will sell less than the last, that is nothing. Even in the home console market, we probabily have a 50% dropped, 280m ----> 140m (my prediction, but a super dropped is confirmed). This gen will probabily be: 235m -----> 95m , another big dropped, but as i say, will happen for ALL console... |
That's the real shining turd here. HD Games cost WAY MORE to produce and market.
While its hard to ignore the above graphs, what is going to be the answer if a giant like Zynga is downsizing by a third in the meantime? There is an oversaturation of mobile developers, and there are not enough customers interested in paying money for games now (thanks to Facebook, mobile freemium content, all that shit). Apple doesn't produce content, neither does Samsung. Maybe theres your lesson.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
