There's been a lot of hand wringing going on because of what the cost outlook is for game development for the next set of platforms. I think there's a growing feeling that in order to build and launch a game you're going to have to start at the 20 million mark - 10 million to build the game and 10 to launch it with a big splash. In order to be able to make any money on that kind of investment, you either have to assume some substantial unit numbers, which are hard to do in the first year or two of a platform's existence, or you've got to raise prices.

It is one thing to say you're going to introduce online gaming, but it is another thing to say it's really fun to play with. Just because a console's Web-enabled doesn't mean it's fun to play with. Somebody's got to come up with an online game that people want to play.

What's extremely important is that Sony is out there now and is delivering increasing quantities of product. It's pretty clear to me that if you look at the 128-bit segment, Sony is going to go up and everybody else is going to go down, only because Sony has a 12-month head start. But when you look into the next year, that could change depending on who's got which software.
