Team Ninja-grundaren, pratkvarnen och legenden Tomonobu Itagaki säger i Famitsu (översatt av Polygon) att han tycker konsolerna behöver en ny inriktning. Bättre grafik räcker inte längre, menar han.
"In a world where our customers now have their attention divided by their PCs, their tablets and their smartphones, simply having consoles expand upon what they previously were isn't going to work any longer."
Han fortsätter: "Having a system that just reads controller input, makes a screen image and outputs it to the TV isn't going to work, no matter how rich the media it's producing."
Så nu gäller det att visa vad konsolerna går för, avslutar han: "It seems like every first party is trying to get a feel for what makes a console truly special, and that's something developers are going to have to feel on, too."
Vad säger Gamereactors läsare, har konsolerna fortfarande framtiden för sig på gamla premisser, eller behövs något helt nytt?
Mannen som en gång sade: "I'd like to show everybody some of the new stuff that we've been working on in the near future. The only problem with that is that when the other developers see what we're doing, they're going to lose all of their motivation to create any game in the same genre, because there's no way they can beat it."
