Not exactly, it was the backlash from the mountain of sales of crap. THEN a complete lack of sales. But if they hadn't flooded the market with regurgitated garbage and killed consumer interest the market wouldn't have crashed. Basically they shot themselves in the foot. If the industry continues to crank out sequel after sequel on an annual basis and not take risks they run the risk of the same thing happening. But honestly right now people seem perfectly happy to buy the same game annually and they'll just keep making them. It's if suddenly people DO get tired of call of duty part 20, assassins creed 10, and halo 12 that they'll have a massive problem on their hand as they count on those revenue generating series to fund everything else.
