Next gen consoles coming sooner than we think, says Ubisoft

June 15th, 2009 Posted in Business, Hardware, Industry

Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot said in a recent interview with CNBC that the next gen systems from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony may not be as far away as we think, despite both Microsoft and Sony touting ten year life spans of the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Guillemot also said that with the increased power of the new system, games will also cost a lot more to develop, upwards of $60 million per AAA title. He said that while things like “Porject Natal” might increase the lifespan, gamers are always in need of more and more powerful systems and better technology, and with the possible competition from the upcoming PC streaming game service OnLive, the next gen consoles might be not as far away as we think.
