Ubisoft CEO in CNBC interview- "development costs for the next gen of consoles will increase up to $60 million a title due to the machines being so powerful that playing a game is going to be the equivalent of playing a CGI movie today".
"consumers will be a bit more impatient than console makers to get a new gen of gaming systems and ONliVE,the company that runs video games on a remote server and deliver them online to create the illusion that youre playing the game locally,could "shake up the timetables" of the three console makers and ***** them to release new systems before they want to.
This Onlive thing sounds cool from what I read but then it takes the novalty out of going down to the store and having that copy of a new game in your hand. Also,people like myself trade-in games to use the credit towards future purchases ala Gamestop Edge card. $$$ is hard to come by.
