Steve Perlman, CEO, founder and president of OnLive, has expressed concern about the graphical output of current platforms, and believes that the Xbox 360 and PS3 are getting ‘long in the tooth’.
“In time as the years go by, we’re looking at 2005 architecture for Xbox 360 and PS3. They’re getting a bit long in the tooth.” he told PCR.
“And I think what you’ll see is people saying ‘you know I really want to play this very high performance game that just can’t be played on a console.’ And I guess at that point we become sort of competitive, but if it was us or someone else there’s a natural movement from old game platforms to the next generation.”
“I think over the next couple of years you’ll see a beginning of a wind down. Because there’s just not enough horsepower in these existing platforms. And the games publishers feel very, very constrained with what they can do given the limitations of the platforms.”
OnLive is the cloud-based gaming service that allows users to stream video game content as opposed to playing it locally. It launched in the US last year, and is heading to the UK this autumn.
