Ubisoft CEO Says Next-Gen Won't Be Last Hardware Generation




Speaking with CVG, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has stated that he thinks the upcoming next-generation of consoles will not be the last hardware generation.

“I still think it is not the last generation, because the manufacturers want a way to control their platform and the machine is the best way to have a specific access to that. What I’m happy with is, because we’ve been waiting for a long time, if we really come with high quality games then the public will come very quickly to buy them. So we will see a big increase in the market.”

“I think that the cloud is going to change a few things. Now with cloud and the increase of bandwidth we should have the possibility to increase the quality of games a lot over the next few years. But I think five years is the right timing for it. If we can take advantage of the quality those machines bring, and if we can spend money, then I think we can make the business grow very fast.”
