Interview Chris Kingsley: Part Two - Rebellion's CTO discusses the state of home consoles, portables and politics

GamesIndustry.Biz writes: "Following the first part of the GamesIndustry.biz last week, Rebellion CTO Chris Kingsley here addresses the situation for the next-gen consoles, offers his thoughts on the PlayStation Portable's plight, and talks about the political situation in the UK.

Q: The Xbox 360 has been said to be "struggling" in some quarters at the moment - is that something you'd disagree with?

Chris Kingsley: If you look at Microsoft historically as normally taking three goes at getting something just right to be really successful - it was really Windows 3.1 that really took off - so who knows what will happen in the next round of consoles? Maybe it will be their time next time around?

But what Microsoft has done is put out a fantastic machine - okay there have been some hardware problems - but it's a fantastic machine and everybody who makes games loves to work on the best, fastest, coolest machine - and certainly the Xbox 360 was that."
