But I wouldn't rule out working together to help shape future console landscapes in their favor, although I am not sure how likely it is. |
If they where to release a console at the end of the 360/ps3's lifespan that had similar internal architechtuare to those consoles im positive that this would cost less than what it does to upgrade their r&d, and if the burden was split between say the top 5 publishers they would all wave any royalties that they would have to pay sony/microsoft, plus no doubt there would be other benefits that i am not aware of as well...
