i see your point but the industry is read for new consoles. i think dev's, Sony, and MS should take 2 more yr.'s and make profit off consoles they've broken to thier core (360 mainly/PS3 still some jucie left in it although most dev.'s say otherwise but i know the reason for that. it's because they don't have the tech to get that last bit out. wow this could have been a sentence) but the market for consoles are in decline, although some publishers are making record profits, while others like THQ are selling assets cause of bankruptcy and failure to make profit due to rising development cost.
the new consoles will likely lower dev. cost because from the rumors we've been getting, it seems that way, so there's your answer.
simpler consoles to lower dev. cost. hopefully. all speculation of course.

Ok you lost me at the bold. I thougt that new hardware meant new R&D and higher development cost simply to learn the new hardware. So how can it be cheeper for develpers to work with a new console which they don't know, as oppsed to a current console that they have made games for before?

all i can tell you is that dev. cost have not gone down this gen. they continued to go up steadly. the bold is my idea of the hardware as it seems PS4 and nextboxt will be more like PC's which makes them easier to dev. for.
besides, that's the direction Sony have been said to be taking. once again, it's all speculation. and if they don't want more dev's to close thier doors, then simpiler consoles lowering dev cost, while having power, and being able to manipulate the console.
