Tomonobu Itagaki is probably one of the most original game creators in the industry, and recently he had the opportunity to release some interesting statements during a interview, in particular on the new platforms, PlayStation 4 Pro and Project Scorpio.

During the interview he declared a disinterested attitude towards the two consoles, however, he was particularly critical about Sony's new platform: "PlayStation 4 Pro is just rhetoric. The current gen doesn't have enough power to support VR, so they're releasing it to support VR. I'm going to get in trouble again for saying this, aren't I? Microsoft and Sony are going to be on my case for saying shit like this. PS4 Pro is not really their motivation. VR, which is what the upgrade is for, requires a lot of processing power."

In fact, the producer of Dead or Alive seems much more interested in PC: "My current standard is PC. You're misunderstanding me. The PC allows me to have direct access to the users, and I'm very comfortable with that right now. That's why Microsoft rolled out Windows 10, even though it was a little forced. They're going to gain a billion users."

The issue is certainly quite hot, but it's also interesting to have conflicting opinions than a unanimous enthusiasm for these two consoles. What do you think?
