I don't think the industry will crash, if it was going to, it would have during the financial crisis the world had several years ago and while Xbox360 had to replace all their stock because of a manfunction and PS3 was sold at a huge loss.
Sales at the moment are good. Ignoring the fact digital sales are on the up (and they are a rip off still), many games are selling as expected if not more in some cases. FIFA sold more than ever, CoD went down because people were tired of the direction. Battlefield 1 sold more than 4, first few weeks. Titanfall 2 and Watch_dogs 2 both sold poorly because of the reception of their first iterations and release date (generally both are considered improvements on the first ones).
But....

I agree with this. I think gaming should move to more of a streamlined factory line setup. More and more developers are using Unreal Engine when they didn't before (Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 for example). Publishers licenced develoeprs should work with each other to produce the products on time and for good costs instead of shoving stupid amounts in for minimal profit.
Although your facts are little weird. Treyarch didn't make Modern Warfare 2, and don't remember any Call of Duty developer ever filing for bankruptcy. Those games made so much money (mainly for Activision) that I doubt they would have. THQ on the other hand.
Hmm, pie.
