It's a shame cause Bilson is actually a pretty down to Earth guy who speaks alot of sense, and the interview is a pretty good read. He's doing a brilliant job at turning THQ around and they're actually becoming a publisher who have more to their catalogue then Nickolodean licensed titles, which is more then can be said of last gen.

Yaaaay graphics!!

Honestly ..What is so fun about it =p.?

Says the one with Grand Theft Auto IV in his Gamer Card =p.

I think it is far more likely that game devs will be taking pay cuts. They are pricing themselves out of the market and the work will just be done by others elseware for less cash and risk. Consumers will decide the price, not game devs. I do not see a demand in america for $100 games. They will just flop and devs will figure out they need to spend less when making games and make appropiate decisions regarding their budgets. I decided long ago that unless a game was worth it for multiplayer day one than I wait till I can get it for $40 or less. Not to mention DD services offering great value to gamers. $100 dollars a game is a joke. I see games going to a subscription based system before that. Either subscribe to a game for a period of time, or to a dev and have access to their catalogue while subscribed.

100 dollars is an insane amount...I don't think many people would pay that much and if they would then they are going to cut down on the number of purchases they make by about half

LOL no they won't...what a jackass.

look at all these americans complaining alot of countries around the world already pay that. they get everything so cheap just because there mass market

Har-dee-dar, nice stealth troll.  Considering that there are games on the Wii that are just as enjoyable AND highly rated AND popular (albeit less pretty), you are either a blind fanboy, a graphics whore or a flame-baiter.

Well, consider this, Mr. Troll, nature abhors a vacuum, and none so much as human nature.  Upon the release of next generation of systems, if Sony and MS push graphics fidelity even half as much as they did with the jump to this gen, then companies will (eventually) be obligated to push those new boundaries... and that takes money.  LOTS OF MONEY.  Lot's of money for shiny graphics to appease the trolls - hiding under their little troll bridges.

Then imagine that Nintendo cames along and releases their new system that is lower cost, and has DX10 class (not even 11) hardware that is only slightly more powerful than the PS360, but WITH MORE RAM to alleviate the biggest problem of PS360 - ability to push TrueHD with such limited memory.

In this scenario, companies spend LOTS OF MONEY on shiny graphics for the trolls on the other systems (and charge prices to match).  On the other hand, Nintendo would be able to deliver HD graphics (albeit lesser, but great nonetheless - look at GT5 or GoW3) and charge $50-60 for games rather than $80-100.

Short answer:  Nintendo wins.......  again. 

EDIT:  I might also add that I find your comment about Nintendo "hurting your @$$" both ironic and humourous considering the picture you have in your sig.

After a loss, and things repeat etc bla bla bla.
