Konami: PES 2014 doesn't come on next-gen due to installed base

As we knew already by June, 2014 PES will not come on next-generation consoles: today Manorito Hosoda, Konami's marketing manager, said in an interview with CVG the reasons for this decision.

In particular, he noted: "we're not sure how fast the new generation will be adopted. The fan base is now the current generation and before going any further we wanted to make a good game with new graphics engine Fox Engine ".

The will seems to not repeat the disastrous generational change occurred in the past with previous titles, making one version to expectations about the current console and then focus on new platforms when they can count on a wide installed base, probably at the end of 2014. PS3 and Xbox 360 can count on an installed base of over 100,000 units, with a vast potential audience, while the new MS and Sony consoles will not of course, at least in the early months, access to a vast audience.

Do you agree with the policy of Konami? Please note that PES 2014 will be available next September 27.
