And as a corollary, the market for technologies is shrinking. As a world leader, it is important for America to provide systematic research grants for our developers. I believe there will always be a need for us to have a well-articulated innovation policy with emphasis on human resource development. Thank you.

Longer AND fun games are an easy purchase. A good game that is 5-6 hours long is looking to be a rental at best. Backlogs aren't taken care of in a day! I’m with Pedro.

A game that easily gives you 60+ hours (per playtrough) costs you $1/hour of entertainment, that is money well spent. A game with a crapish 5 hour campaign costs $12/hour, this is something I'll pass and spent it somewhere else. I always take this number into consideration when purchasing any game. Obviously next gen will have some good RPGs that will still be well worth their price, even if it's more expensive, however, for the other genres the math is not looking good.
