THQ Says New Consoles "Would Be Horrible"

As gamers, we are always anxious and eager to hear news regarding new technology in the world of video gaming.  THQ on the other hand is not.  In an interview with Eurogamer, THQ's Danny Bilson said that new consoles "would be horrible".

"It would be horrible, But I think they all know our model's broken anyway.

"It still costs us a fortune to make games on this platform. If they're going to up the scale, up the art, up the content, I don't know how to make that and sell it to anybody for under $100 a game. Who wants to do that? It's bad for everybody."

We can't really argue that point.  Who really wants to pay over $100 for a standard version of a video game in store and then have to shell out more money for DLC that is often put out a month or two after the game releases.

Bilson further stated that "Stability of technology allows for the fruition and the growth of creative,

"We're not having to invest all of our focus, and, oh my god, how are we going to deal with that new technology? We understand it. We still have guys trying to squeeze it to do cooler stuff, but it puts the weight of the mission under creative, which ultimately should get us more interesting and more creative stuff.

"That's the trick. We're not going to get beat by another hardware upgrade like every five years like it was before. There will be little things. It's up to us to compete in graphics and creativity. Sometimes I hope good creativity and style will be able to be more important. It is more important."

What do you think Gamercide?  Is this a case of looking out for everybody including gamers or do you believe that there are underlying worries about bigger developers such as EA?
