Japanese Game Devs Talk AAA Games, PS4, and the Future of the Japanese Games Industry

[JEMC]

The quotes that caugh my interest were from the Sega and Bandai-Namco guys:

• Graphics tech has steadied out as of recently so good art design has become even more important.

• Is really grateful the PS4 has a lot of power that can be utilized relatively easily. Right now the biggest issue with making games is the business side rather than the development side.

But above all of them, this one

• In a world where PCs and smartphones exist, game consoles kinda occupy this weird little place in the middle.

Isn't it weird hearing someone talk about gaming consoles as if they were a niche market?

And they all also seem very interested in VR.
