One of the best reads I've had in awhile regarding video games. This guy ("The Source") always comes up with great articles on vgchartz.com

Anyway, the article brings up great points about the current hardware generation's sales in relation to the previous generation, and how it has an effect on third-party software development and sales.

His point about the third-party shift from consoles to portables and its effect on the industry is dead on.

Just lots of great stuff here.
