Dyack Foresees A One Console Future
by August 20, 2007 @ 3:38 pm
Denis Dyack, the President of Silicon Knights, revealed during his GCDC lecture that he foresees a “one console future,” where all major console manufactures such as Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft work to create a single, standardized gaming platform.
Dyack envisions that all manufactures would set forth universal specifications for hardware as well as content. Good example of this is the DVD format and DVD players. All in all, this would allow for better games, lower production costs, and shorter development times (i.e. no developers calling out on another console).
Sounds interesting… but will it happen? Dyack believes it will, as early as the next wave of hardware.
