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.

But every gen has less and less games. Titles from mid budget developers have all but disappeared (and some have, a LOT more than the handful of new IP that pop up from time to time). Remakes are rampant due to the ease of time and budget reusing assets. Episodic releases and shady DLC are the norm. Things are pretty bad and get worse every single gen.
