I would love them to make $60 million games.

That enables 150 guys working on a game for 4 years. (for the epic RPGs and action-adventures that always need time to develop, but for your graphics intensive shooters you could have 300 guys work on it for 2 years - wow)

Ubisoft has the right vision.

There are already $60 million games... what he's saying is that $60 million will become the average for those top tier games such as epic shooters, RPGs and action games.

 

Yeah, if he means the $20-30 mill budgets of today will become $60 million budgets in next gen, some of the $60 million budget games in this gen should become +$120 million budget games in next gen. Wow.

300 guys on average for 4 years working on games like The Elder Scrolls 6 and Zelda Wii-HD.

or

500 guys working for 3-4 years on Call of Duty 7 and GTA5 on $150-200 million budgets (equal to the highest budget Hollywood action movies).

Creating games that support both classic controllers combined with motion controls and true 3-D vision technology.

Epic. I can't wait.
