It's more of a once a decade ordeal if you're smart.
Even when break neck speed internet in most countries becomes a reality this doesn't seem all that enticing from a consumer perspective. Or perhaps I'm just a dinosaur that is fond of physical media and actually being able to touch that which I've paid for.
i'm not ready for that yet but at the end of this next gen i pretty much expect it.
Well this is nothing particularly new, we all know its heading there and it will happen. TVs are now starting to be connected to the internet, and once majority of people will be connected to high speed fiber optic internet, games can be streamed directly to the television completely bypassing the consoles.
I personally have no problems with such new technology, neither do I have a problem with the current technology we have. So either way I'll be happy as long as I can play good games, no matter who provides me with them.
No.
Against this so much...it's like big brother controlling what you want. Apple has this in ios and mocosx already with the ap store, microsoft have it in xbla and soon to be windows 8. Big brother keep it! I want my games in my control and not dictated to by whether my internet connection is up or fast enough or doesnt have capped bandwidth, it's a crock
"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)
"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)
Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
""Windows [n.] - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.""
Nein Danke.
This is inline with what I've been saying regarding set-top boxes from Apple and Google combined with applications like OnLive or simply the eventual fully 3rd party support of Android and iOS.
This is why I think the rumor of Wii U having Android not only makes a lot of sense but marks a brilliant move by Nintendo to stay relevant ahead of the shift in the market.... again.

In general... just after E3 conferences.
In regards to this topic, sometime in 2013. When 3rd parties have identical games on mobile OSes.
I...don't think I'm ready for OnLive-esque "experience" just yet. I'd rather have console manufactures milk the money out of me and stay in business rather than ditch marketed hardware altogether. TVs would become bloody expensive to compensate. Not sure what would happen to (1st party) software pricewise.
