Does anyone else see console gaming imploding simply due to the immense cost of keeping up with advancing technology? Hell companies like Konami have pretty much abandoned consoles for mobile because the games don't have to cost 50 million to make and we are seein developers leaving AAA studios more often now. Maybe HD did kill gaming....


No... it was pretty much the same when the change from 2D to 3D occured and pretty much in every generation that managed to achieve a large graphical leap. The gaming scene is changing but none of its main branches is imploding for a good while.


I can understand the massive jump from 2D to 3D(ie sprites to polgons, SNES to N64, MegaDrive to Saturn etc) and also from standard definition to high definition(PS2 to PS3, Xbox OG to 360) but from 7th genetation to 8th there was no real colossal advancement like those.
