before anyone says Microsoft/Xbox are idiots and are sabotaging themselves… yes they are but also this strategy is an extremely successful longterm strategy so long as you have enough money to survive the temporary collapse and can buy up large chunks of the industry during the downswing.
Eventually if you keep doing this then you own most of the industry and neither developers nor gamers have any choice but to accept the crap you serve them. Problem solved.
Does this work when it comes to intellectual property, something that can be made theoretically indefinetly? Some of its older IPs have lost their luster because of bad usage.
Second great video game depression is here folks!
