It was and is, but these sales didn't translate into higher profits which is something that higher sales should actually do. The reason is that development costs multiplied several times since last generation, so any gains in revenue were wiped out in most cases. So despite sales being at an alltime high, the video game industry is a riskier business than ever before and this leads to less diversity, because publishers are betting on the safe horse which most dominantly happens to be the FPS genre. |
That is a formula for going under as a publisher. Either that approach will kill off interest in the FPS genre, or merely solidify it so only a handful of titles make it. As of now, you see people complaining about how poorly Killzone franchise is doing in sales. When everyone jumps in the same boat, things get stale.








that or I have short term memory
