See, I've been hearing this same claim of imminent AAA apocalypse for years now, yet it hasn't happened. It's starting to feel a bit like those proclamations of the world ending that keep getting pushed back, from the cold war, to Y2K, to bird flu, to 2012, to whatever the next big scare is. It hasn't happened, and I'm confident that 5 or 10 years from now, it still won't have happened. AAA games still dominate the charts and sell multiple million year in and year out. They're not going anywhere. This fabled collapse is, IMO, the wishful thinking of people who don't like the AAA business model. The Wii U's severe game droughts were a significiant factor in its failure. Those droughts were often caused by a failure to meet software deadlines. If Wii U had no game droughts, it wouldn't have been such a disaster. |
Except part of the collapse has already happened you just chosen to be blind to it and don't even understand the point being put across, AAAs won't disappear but they won't be common either as the cost of them will become too high for developers to try and turn every title into a AAA title, fact that highly regarded developer are starting to shy away from the approach backs this.
If Wii U didn't have droughts it would have still had the same problems, I know you're irritated by the delay but sorry trying to pin all the problems to missing deadlines is non sense, the problems were much more than that from consumer confusion to even pricing.
