Ready at Dawn boss: “PS3 will win” |

In an interview with next-gen.biz, Didier Malenfant, the numero uno guy over at Ready at Dawn, has let the cat out of the bag and professed his undying love and allegiance to the PS3.
Well actually it wasn’t that dramatic but when asked by what exactly the term “next-gen” meant to him he responded: “To me it’s just a way to refer to the PS3 and 360,” snubbing Wii altogether and adding a long-winded prediction: “PS3 will win this generation when all is said and done…Every generation we get to hear the same BS as to how everything is going to be revolutionized and things what we thought never possible will happen and some of them might be cool or some might suck. But none of them make a game.” Whew! Why don’t you tell us how you really feel?
Now that Chains of Olympus is out the door and doing well, Ready at Dawn is keeping themselves busy with Okami Wii, a redesigned port of Capcom’s well received PS2 action adventure game that’s due out next month.

I don’t get the whole “winning” console thing at all, to be honest. I mean, with how many great games the 360 has already had, and how much $ they’ve made for thier developers and the fact that Halo 3 sold so well, you wouldn’t be able to call it a failure in any light (except hardware reliability…). Now with Blu-Ray taking the HD crown, there’s no way the PS3 is going anywhere, so I think it’s safely out of the “losing” category as well. On top of all that, the Wii is outselling BOTH of them. None of the consoles will lose, and these publishers and developers need to stop stirring the fanboy flame kettle methinks. It just makes them look completely unprofessional.

Hey I hear you man. You have to figure the so-called “system wars” are like sports. Everyone has their favorite teams even devs. But I agree with you on the “professional” aspect. It’s not cool to talk shit on another company or fan flames. Especially when your company develops games for the system(s).
It’s cool to have an opinion, but I think devs should just keep their mouths shut, they should be able to see in interviews that these “What system will win?” questions are loaded guns, and just give a vanilla “We like them all equally.” comment, and leave the speculation and guessing to the analyst, fanboys, and us bloggers!
