reading:Home ? News ? Ubisoft CEO Says It?s Time For New Consoles To Hit The Market
Published: 26 November 2012 5:37 PM UTCPosted in: News
The current console generation is probably the longest we have ever seen: the Xbox 360 has been out for seven years now, with no real announcement for its successor. Ubisoft head Yves Guillemont believes that this generation has lasted way too long and it?s time new consoles are released on the market.
Console generations usually lasted for 5 years, with the last year of the cycle being really slow from a sales and developing point of view: developers are more inclined in producing new IPs and experimenting on new hardware rather than taking a risk and making totally new games for an old hardware. When a new console is released it?s mostly bought by the hardcore gamers who want to try new gaming experiences, making experimenting way more worthwhile: after some time casual gamers will start buying the new hardware to get a taste of that same new gaming experience, resulting in good sales even for new IPs. The prolonged current generation has caused big losses for the developers and that?s why they?re trying to push new business models and digital distribuition to not loose too much: it?s still not the ideal situation because developers are really holding back their projects and this can?t be good for the industry on the whole.
Mister Guillemot isn?t the only one who?s asking for new consoles: it?s probably time for Sony and Microsoft to show them to the world.
