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....

Can't see it happening. The big games are pretty much guaranteed to make money so they will keep releasing. There are plenty of developers that can make games that are profitable at much lower sales as well, it's just a few that don't know how to budget properly who will either have to adapt or they will leave (many already have). Those that are left will be the ones who can consistently make a profit, whether that's due to big budget games with huge sales (COD, GTA etc) or good but low selling games made on a budget that fits with their sales expectations.


Imo, Indie games will save the industry. Hell, the biggest game last generation (and current) is Minecraft. As long as indie developers exist, gaming will as well. It's our insurance policy.
