Every day, we hear news about another studio going out of business because they failed to turn over a good profit. Development costs have been soaring recently and it is the #1 problem in the gaming industry. Remember how Square Enix can't recoup the costs for tomb raider even after 3+ million sales?
Whenever I finish playing a good game, I'm like, "Man, I can't wait for a sequel". Problem is, there might not be a sequel if the studio that made the game is at financial risk. Do you people have any idea how torturous wanting a sequel but knowing it will never come out is? By avoiding games made from financially volatile studios, I AVOID that risk.
This is why I am going with the next xbox. I know microsoft is going to go back with the same old Halo, Forza and Gears pattern after the first year, but I go to bed knowing that a sequel will always be made for those games. If I played on the playstation, I will never get to experience Uncharted 50. I don't care that uncharted 1 - 49 are better than Microsoft's exclusive lineup. By not making a sequel, you're pissing me off.
