Tecmo talks PS3 development
Company's president makes first comments about game development for Sony's next-generation console.

Already on board with the Xbox 360, Tecmo is considering signing up as a third-party developer for Sony's PlayStation 3 as well. According to Japanese site Mainichi Interactive, Tecmo president Junji Nakamura confirmed at a midterm briefing today that his company may develop games for the PlayStation 3 platform.

While the news isn't entirely surprising (Tecmo has released multiple games on the PlayStation 2), this is the first time Nakamura has addressed game development for Sony's next-generation console.

When asked by investors whether development costs for next-generation games will rise, Nakakura stated that development of Xbox 360 games will cost 20 percent more than current platforms.

When asked about developing for the PlayStation 3, Nakamura commented that the console feels different to gamer creators than the Xbox 360 and current consoles. He believes the developers will need to change their ways of thinking to adapt to the PS3's architecture.

In other news from the briefing, Tecmo reported sales of 3.9 billion yen ($35.4 million) and an operation profit of 400 million yen ($3.63 million) for the six-month period from January through June. The company forecasts annual sales of 14.4 billion yen ($131 million) and an operating profit of 2.8 billion yen ($25.4 million). Tecmo's fiscal year ends December 31.

Credo che le cose andranno più o meno come in questa generazione, più o meno...
Anche io sono un sostenitore, in linea di principio, delle esclusività !
In ogni caso il supporto di Tecmo mi era sembrato abbastanza scontato.
