CNN
are featuring a look at publisher Majesco's problems, after the company's decision last
week to withdraw from the premium console market. It's a sad tale of ambition backfiring and promising titles
failing to live up to expectations, with a very real impact on the company's revenue and stock.The CNN article points out that Midway, Atari and Acclaim have all been to the brink of bankruptcy and back, Majesco may still make it through. The company's move towards budget and handheld titles, as well as emerging markets such as casual and downloadable games, seems a wise one--we may even see another Psychonauts in amongst the budget bin.
