Kotaku asks: are these new video game systems the next generation? Seeming answer: no. “Tthe direction that the games’ market has gone (the rising costs of development) it makes risk-taking in game design far too financially taxing and forces developers who want to, and have the creative desire to do more, to work on sequels.” It seems like the video game industry is continuing to fulfill Costikyan’s “Death to the Game Industry” Manifesto (I & II).
