[Multi] Ubisoft CEO believes that we need new consoles so we can have new IPs

So, this console generation is stretching pretty far for the PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, believes that this generation has continued for far too long and the decline is due to this lifespan.

Guillemot told the Polygon that he believes the "transition has been very long."

The CEO believes that transitions are the best windows for innovation. Arguing that people take risks earlier in the generation because its a fresh time, later these gambles rarely pay off as well as sequels.

"Everybody who is taking risks and innovating is welcome because there are lots of hardcore gamers and those guys want new things, where the mass market will be more interested in having the same experience and doesn't want to take as much risks because it's not aware as much of what is going to change its experience.

"So, the beginning of the machines is always a good time for innovation."

What do you guys think?

Innovation doesn't need to stop towards the end of console cycles, making interesting games should never stop. Obviously the gaming industry is driven on profit, especially considering the bloated budgets that most modern games are pieced together with.
