I must agree with article. Consoles are way too commercial/restricted and way too costly to develope anything. Next gen will cost even more as consoles will be more complicated and so will programs. Eventually you have to do the same thing as with PC and do not care about low level optimizing, because it will cost way too much.

@Cost of PC gaming

I have average ~600€ PC(About $400-500, if you would have bought it from somewhere in US. After all for example PS3 still costs here 460€.), which is nearly three years old and there haven't been any games that would have not run on this computer. When there will be game that will not run on this computer, I could just buy new GPU and it will run games again with ease few years(However I need computer with more than 2 cores so it will be about 400-500€ when I will upgrade my PC again. I think it will happen next year maybe. So its about 4 years cycle. :) ).
