Personally, I believe next gen games will reward efficiency and focus.

We're seeing it now, AAA publishers should have taken note by now:

- #Expedition33: $10M, >7.5M copies
- #KCD2: $70M, >5M copies
- #ArcRaiders: $75M, >12M copies

Success comes from lean design and authentic hype, not feature creep or marketing stunts.
