Capcom Europe COO and ex-SCEE CEO David Reeves has estimated that we'll be seeing a new generation of consoles "in two years time", adding that "all the first-parties have got to be working on something."
"Capcom is definitely going to embrace it (motion control)," said Reeves talking to GamesIndustry.Biz, "and just as the first-parties are doing, we see it as another blip before we come into the next cycle.
"3D gaming is the same. Anything they can add to revive and pique interest in the games until we have another clash of the titans in two years time."
Two years time, David. Really?
"Two to three years, I reckon so. I don't have any inside information. All the first-parties have got to be working on something."
Microsoft's Xbox 360 is fast approaching its fifth birthday, while Sony has always said stuck by their 'ten-year plan' for PlayStation 3, suggesting that the console will still be a focus for the company right the way up until 2016.
But will we see a new generation hit long before then? Here's hoping.
