Most of the article is on AAA development as a whole but I found it interesting the comments about consoles in general.

I do see them stopping soon. Those deals are benefiting basically no one anymore. Partners like Square Enix are doing way better by putting their games on PC without an exclusivity period. Sony's not growing their console business over the previous generation, even when their competition has been destroyed. At some point it's just money down the drain.
