Ex-Sony boss predicts single platform future.
Sony and Microsoft could be working together on a single platform within the next 10 years, Sony Computer Entertainment’s former European president has claimed.
David Reeves, now Capcom’s COO, told CVG, “When you’re on the first-party side, you realise how really, really expensive it is to develop a platform. Whether it’s PS3, or Xbox 360 or even Wii, they cost millions – maybe not billions, but absolutely millions.
“Eventually, it may just become so expensive to develop that Microsoft and Sony say, ‘Okay, let’s get together.’ I’d say it’s between 10 and 15 years away. That’s how long I think it will take.
