Why is this being down voted? I agree. In fact it's happening right now. Every large AAA studio in Australia has already closed. There are so few big console games in development right now.

You may be right in general, but Australia is an extremely poor example.
The economy is booming from mining right now and the dollar is very strong, meaning the cost of living in USD dollars has nearly tripled since its low point in the mid '00s.
As AAA games get more expensive to make there has to be less in order for each to sell enough units to make a return on the massive investment.
This opens up more space for small studios and indie games, which I think is a good thing.
