Ubisoft CEO Says Next Gen Consoles Closer Than We Think 326
An anonymous reader writes "Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot tells CNBC that he believes the next generation of video game systems isn't as far away as the public has been led to believe. Guillemot noted that public demand for the best machine possible, as well as coming competition from companies such as OnLive could spur Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to roll out new systems sooner than they want. That's not good news for publishers, though, as he says games in the next generation will likely cost $60 million to create."

N64NES - 1986
Nintendo would have made eleventy billion dollars with an N64NES in 1986. I bet they'd still fetch a fortune on eBay.
