I am tired of PLAYSTATION consoles focus being to be the most powerful. I am sick of it. I know why they do it; they need to keep Nintendo out the loop. I feel SONY is heavily contributing to the industries stagnation.

This is a little ridiculous: what exactly is the connection between making high-end hardware (still not the same as high-end PC) and industry stagnation? 

Todays games are taking forever to develop. They are also very expensive. 

This generation has mostly been remakes/remasters. Not surprising; developers need fast easy projects to fill the void and to further fund these games.

Because of the risk that these games that take to much time develop put on publishers that then spill to developers we get loads of "safe" games. The Producer of I believe Dragon Quest just quit because he claimed that SE is just copying other developers.... because game are taking to long to develop for and cost are becoming to high. 

This is just at basic level. Its not the high-end console itself, but its effect on cost and time of development. 

How many developers have closed?

How many people fired?

How many games cancelled?

There has to  be a point in time where we gotta stop and let this industry catch its breath. It feels like very few publishers can keep up with this.
