Also, the rising costs of AAA games don't have an easy remedy in my view. Even say Sony or Xbox were to just make their 1st party games on EVERYTHING day one (Xbox, PS, PC, Nintendo's next system). The gained sales from these games seem like they would be a good deal higher, right? Then AAA game costs keep going higher even when that happens. Then we're right back to, AAA costs are unsustainable after a short period. Costs NEED to be reined in, it's the only real solution.

When a game needs to sell 10 million at full price just to break even that isn't a good thing. The same issue is happening in the movie industry. Sure, Grand Theft Auto can get away with a $300 million or higher budget with GTA6 pretty much guaranteed to sell 10M in its first week, plus the live service aspect of the game bringing in a lot of money.
