BioWare boss optimistic over de facto platform
The debate rages...
Speaking with CVG this week, BioWare boss Ray Muzyka has said that an all-in-one, de facto-style platform isn't just a pipe dream.
He believes standardisation will see console platforms moving in this direction in the future, although he is equally sure it won't happen anytime soon.
"I can see it going there and I think there are valid reasons to do that. I see Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo maybe having some issues with that [so] they might want to continue their platforms," he explained.
"Given that they create the hardware and they’re big brands that have a lot of loyal fans I think that it may take a while before you see one platform. But the idea of a thin client that you could run code over the internet on and distribute to is a possibility in the future that I think could happen."
What do you make of this proposition, folks?
