Gamasutra: Do you think anyone will be doing a game engine for portables?
MR: I think one of the problems with the handhelds is that they’re all radically different systems. So it’s not like you’re going to take a PSP game and run in on a Nintendo DS. You build custom games for each of those platforms. Whether people use custom or purchased engines, I have no idea, it’s just not an area of expertise for us.
Gamasutra: Activision and THQ have both publicly said that their retail costs will go up $10.
MR: I don’t believe that’s going to happen. I’d be very shocked. I think they’re going to try, there’s no question, but honestly I don’t believe that. I honestly think the market won’t bear it! We’re already paying $50 per game, I honestly believe for the majority of games, the market will not pay $60.
