Tomonobu Itagaki (Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden) har vært ute og ment ting igjen, og denne gangen er det Playstation 4 Pro og Project Scorpio som er i skuddlinjen. Under et intervju med spillsiden Polygon forklarer han hvorfor han ikke er interessert i de oppgraderte konsollene:

"Playstation 4 Pro is just rhetoric. The current gen doesn't have enough power to support VR, so they're releasing it to support VR. I'm going to get in trouble again for saying this, aren't I? Microsoft and Sony are going to be on my case for saying shit like this. PS4 Pro is not really their motivation. VR, which is what the upgrade is for, requires a lot of processing power."

Da lurer du kanskje på hvilket format han foretrekker, og Itagaki svarer:

"My current standard is PC. You're misunderstanding me. The PC allows me to have direct access to the users, and I'm very comfortable with that right now. That's why Microsoft rolled out Windows 10, even though it was a little forced. They're going to gain a billion users."

I det samme intervjuet avslører han at Devil's Third egentlig skulle være et Xbox-spill før det endte opp som Wii U-eksklusivt med Nintendo som utgiver. Han er imidlertid veldig positivt innstilt til Microsoft:

"Microsoft sent out a press release when I left Tecmo. To them, I'm just one employee at a third-party publisher who left to go independent. But they released a press release saying that I had contributed great games for the Xbox system and they wished me great success in the future. There's no other company that would bother to do that.

Microsoft also helped us find a new publisher. They're not a coldhearted company that just sends people off into stormy weather without assistance."

Hele intervjuet er egentlig fullt av ting som stort sett bare Itagaki er villig til å si, så vi anbefaler en gjennomlesing.
