Hope Microsoft signs a multi-game deal with Relic, they're going to need an immediate publisher. Also, I've a feeling that half of those dozens of new independent studios that were opened over the past few years won't even make it to their first game.

Many of those studios are not big in the first place so if they are forced to lay off a significant amount of their staff I don't see how their project can survive.

You do smaller projects with much shorter time to market.  Every studio is not cut out to do 5 year long AAA projects.  Sometimes you have to be more adaptable to the market and know when its time to invest in shorter projects or larger projects.  A lot of those studios try to do Spiderman 2 type of budget game when they really should be more focus on making smaller tighter projects like Prince of Persia.
