According to Merceron, ”This generation has been way too long, and I say this because you have a lot of developers that work on a new platform, and perhaps will not succeed, so they will wait for the next generation, and will jump on that platform.”
The platforms said developers leapt to were the mobile devices, such as iOS, Android, mobile phones, and even web browsers.
”You could not do that with this generation though,” Merceron went on to say, ”So these developers went elsewhere to see if the grass was greener. They found Web browsers, they found iOS, they found other things and a lot of them won’t come back to the hardware platforms.”
Merceron also went on in the same interview to state that the focus on graphics and not animation was a common mistake among developers.
