GN Version 3.1

“The next generation is going to be so powerful that playing a game is going to be the equivalent of playing a CGI movie today. …For us, the current machines are very powerful and we can do high quality work. I’d like to stay with this generation as long as possible, but my customers will want the best machine possible.” - Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot

Mr. Guillemot also believes that game development for a single title could cost somewhere around $60 during the next generation of consoles. No wonder Mr. Guillemot wants to stay in this generation!
