Rein on Consoles, DX10

Rein: Consoles put a stranglehold on DX10 on Computer and Video Games offers a dim view of the impact of DirectX 10 and its impact on gaming by expressing the opinion that the state-of-the art in gaming is to be dictated by the console world. Here's a bit:

"To be honest, and I'm going to cast a small pall on the industry here, I don't think you're going to get much higher until the next generation of consoles," Rein told CVG when asked what we can expect from DX 10 beyond what we're seeing in Crysis.

One reason for this, he said, is that the gulf between a high-end PC and a low-end PC is bigger now than it's ever been, and the low-end has been anchored while the high end just gets higher "and it becomes less and less economically viable to do the super high-end stuff".

"And in addition, just now we're just barely coming into the sweet spot of the next-gen consoles... We're at the point where it's viable to ship games on these next-gen consoles and it's going to be a gold mine for a couple of years.
