Uhm, why would dev costs double? There's no reason for that, sounds like Epic wanting even more people to lease their engines if you ask me.
There's is no HD jump, no optical drive changes and the hardware follows the multi-core trend and setup already established in the 7th gen.
GPU's and CPU's and RAM has simply become better without changing the core setup (they changed the whole developer paradigm for the 7th gen, this will not happen in the 8th), developing on the kits won't cost more.
Epic; this is a load of crap.
