@Windbane:
Last gen: 91 games.
This gen: 32 games and we are 4 years into this gen.
There's like 20 games announced so far, but they won't be released until 2010. By 2010 52 games, that's 6 years into the gen and I don't think there will be another 40 games in a year before the new handhelds are launched.
It's obviously correct that HD take up a lot of resources and slow things down. FFXIII and FFvXIII are the best examples (Been in development since 2005 if I'm not mistaken). They have only been succesful on Portables this gen, but the biggest mistake they are making is that they are releasing 1 game/year on the Wii. Big, big mistake that they will probably regret once Namco and Marvelous make it up for the RPG's on the Wii this gen.
