This...games prices need to start dropping first before people start talking about new consoles. It can't cost as much anymore to develop games for these systems...c'mon! |
No. He means that the consoles have to pay back the money they have cost MS and Sony. Both have just barely started breaking even (I assume. I know nothing about MS, but Sony posted overall profits for their gaming division this year). Development costs for a high budget HD game are, well, high, since what is actually costing them time and money are the art assets. Programming may have gotten a bit cheaper, but matters much less.
