Ubisoft Already Preparing for New Hardware

[x3sphere]

Speaking in a recent interview with Gamasutra, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot went on record to state that the company has already taken the liberty of planning ahead for future console and handheld iterations. Guillemot acknowledges that maintaining a proactive outlook is essential to coping with this ever-changing landscape.[blockquote2][We need to get ready for the future generation of consoles. In the next few years, there will be new home and handheld consoles, and if you don't invest... you will not be able to cope with both [the existing and new generation consoles].[/blockquote2]This is just smart business: staying on your toes is smart, especially with the increased popularity of digital distribution for content delivery. However, at the moment Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have yet to lay out definitive plans regarding future hardware. It seems a given that we'll see something within the next five years, though.

Aren't these handheld consoles being released a bit too quickly?

i mean, its not like i mind the great hardware updates but it kinda takes a toll on your pocket money xD...

meybe they should have atleast a 3 year life span for handhelds?

i mean its hardly been a year since the release of the 3000?
