Basically, I think nothing is really happening to new projects aside the fact that many needs time to be productive but because we lack patience, when we don't see them acting well, we call it a dead project which is wrong,over time some will do very well. Most new projects need time combined with the dip we are in.
new projects will be able to survive if they are equipped with better technology and features. New projects must be managed by great people in the field and have real products. and if a new project is without an expert developer, the project will not be able to compete in the market.
