Angry Birds dev - "Console games are dying"

And you know what? I think they're right.

There's very few good console game series-es at the moment - a lot of them are being overdone. The obvious ones being Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, FiFa (in fact, all the sports games) and the shovelware on each console. Sadly, these crappy games can put people off buying new ones, especially at 40-50 quid a go. Look at the other side of things, small games like Angry Birds that's addictive and is endlessly replayable (I think) is a fraction of that price, and those micro-transactions are what's making money at the moment.
And the new properties that aren't call of duty remain relatively small scale, so developers don't stick with them.

The moral of the story? Buy Homefront.
