PS4 and Xbox 720: why we're in for a long wait
“Accessible, intuitive gameplay is key. Historically, the jump to the next generation has been driven, at least partially, by the need to offer gamers the latest technology: I believe that the latest technology is now the controller, not the visuals or underlying technology.” – via TechRadar
I dislike the idea that casual games through technology like Project Natal are going to be the way forward, the Xbox 360 started life as a hardcore gaming console but with the dominance of the Nintendo Wii we are now getting inundated with crap that apparently appeals to the wider casual market – the new Avatars for instance.
Microsoft need to not only focus on the wider-audience as a whole, but the hardcore niche market that made the Xbox such a success in the first place.
