rush?! lol last gen was one of the longest gens ever. The PS360 stayed on the market(and still is on the market) much longer than normal. Notice that the western publishers arent having that much of an issue. Lets not blame others for these Japanese companies incompetance, thats on them.

They may have had a less traumatic time than Japanese devs, but a huge number of Western devs have gone bust since the start of the 7th gen thanks to spiralling budgets due to in part to the graphical arms race.

i didnt say anything about devs, Im talking about publishers. Devs have also closed and been moved around. THQ is the only publisher that went bellyup hard last gen. So no the Western guys are doing ok. Hell UBi just said they were  back to profits while Capcom and Sega are still crying
