At this time everyone is deveoping new engines for the next-generation to take advantage of newer tecnology while also cutting costs. If he is willing to sell UE4 by promising a cost increse "only" by a double, then it means he thinks a "x2" cost rise is already an attractive result for developers.

God, they are saying 5X to 6X? Looking that way 2X looks ok to me too. But, anyway, I wouldn't thrust both of these numbers, since they are interested in selling ther engines, it can be just a way to spread FUD to sell more licenses. Crytek is other that wouldn't be confiable when talking about this...

With the average dev cost of AAA games being between $20m-$40m, 2x doesn't look too good...
