It makes perfect sense again?!

At least Majesco will still be around.

Sony and MS aren't destroying gaming....they just aren't pushing it forward in any category but graphics.

key word POSSIBLY

You need about 1m to break even on the average HD game, so nearly every single worthy HD title made profit. Wii can get what remains.

If you play Russian Roulette, you could possibly die.  Key word being POSSIBLY.  In fact, you have a better chance of surviving than dying.  Why don't you play?

i like how hardcore gaming has "Hard" in its name, but is so fragile that almost anything can destroy it.

new technologies that need less budgets and still give HD graphics may appear , so we are only talking about this generation which is about to be finished XD

I think you are forgetting a small thing, namely making a game for multiple platforms.

Hardcore games are most certainly still a sustainable business, and saying it will be depending on the "casuals" is quite a stretch for as long as we don't know what the PS4/X720 are going to be like.

Third parties are at fault as well. Using the Wii as a cash cow to fund games on HD systems is assinine. Business sense would tell me, use the cash cow of Wii to fund more games for the Wii.

Anyone remember the movie "weekend at bernies"? How two goof balls kept propping up a dead guy? That is the HD business model, its been broken since it started yet, goof balls keep trying to prop it up. And people would laugh at insects who continually fly to the light and get zapped/
