Kevin Bachus Talks Next-Gen

Kevin Bachus, one of the original leaders of the Xbox project and former head of Phantom creators Infinium Labs, talked with UK trade mag MCV about his feelings on the next-generation console war. Next Gen has the choice tidbits:

"...I believe that regardless of who comes out on top this time, the margin will be the closest it's been since the heady days of Nintendo and Sega. And as always, the winners will be the consumers and the publishers."

"This generation will be decided not on production capabilities or on technology, but on brand, price and content. If Sony can leverage its brand, aggressively cut prices on both hardware and software, and deliver just a few platform-driving franchises as they've done in the past with Final Fantasy, GTA and others, they can quickly reverse Microsoft's early lead."
