Once MS gets rid of/modifies their parity clause, which they better do soon(I think they will near E3). Multiplat development should be pretty easy now since the consoles are practically identical.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
