With the introduction of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, not only did the demands on technical know-how increase, but also on the games themselves.
Not every studio could always keep up, as their quality suffered partly from the high demands and often also from mismanagement. As a result, studios were simply shut down, a fate that has befallen quite a few since 2006, including long-established developers like Bizarre Creations.
