Next Gen will be Cheaper to Develop for - not more expensive [According to my Source]

This does not align with my in-biz experiences, at least not in the near-term where those that are lucky* enough to score PS4/'Durango' contracts are going on hiring binges.

 *Lucky because mid-to-long term dev contracts (2-5 years out) are getting cut left and right by *big* pubs. There's a big story in there, but we don't actually have any journalists covering the game biz, so you won't hear about it until devs are closing left and right, alas.

I just asked my source, and according to him, devs are hiring because: cheaper+faster+more devs=even more games! So, games might cost just as much as this last gen, but not because games has gotten more expansive to make, but because devs are hiring to make games even faster. Thinking about it it makes sense. Wouldn't you want to make more games, in less time, to the same costs as this gen?
