Well of course. And I guess VC could have scaled up their staffing and budget for both games. But the upside is 2K hit the next-gen ground sprinting.
See EA? See what you could have done if you spent your time on one thing and didn't start over and over for 4 years due to a knee jerk reaction to a loss in sales?
Now THIS is a 3-year plan (or maybe a 2 year plan). Just shut up about it, keep your vision, work it to the end, and then reveal it.
"Oh, by the way, this is what we've been doing the last couple years."
Not:
"Uh, will you buy our game please? I know it sucks but if you buy it, it might be okay in 3."
