It will be with TV connected devices like the googTV and iTV products and will include casual mobile experiences as well as core console experiences. Digital only, tons'of bluetooth controller support, same exact games on phone, tablet, tv connected boxes, etc. MS will clearly fit this same bill with their win8/live/web store/xbox full interchangeability. Nintendo will fit its niche and its wiiu should be perfectly ok with its first party games and hopefully they thought ahead when it comes to smart / web services and such. Sony should be able to compete if they don't follow their Vita model. They really need to utilize Android in the long run to provide the same level of smart services as they don't have the first party to singularly drive sales like Nintendo does. We won't see typical games consoles next gen. They will be smart web devices that have core gaming applications along with a ton of other functionality. |
Free to play is where Android games succeed. You can't make a Halo 4 or a Black Ops 2 and sell it on the Android store. As long as consoles offer these AAA experiences, they should have little to fear.

What's wrong with the Vita model? I say they finally learned their lesson at least on the hardware side. 1st party is lacking though since their all working on PS3 games. Anyway Sony's 1st party titles got extremely popular this gen. Compare PS2 1st party to PS3 1st party....you'll see there is huge growth. It will only keep growing with PS4.
Hey that's cool with me. I love my Samsung TV and my Samsung phone, so hell yeah I'd buy a Samsung console or just software, whatever they may be doing.
NO WAY if anything sony and samsung might bury the hatchet and join forces eventually. If sony keeps having finacial trouble they might merge with samsung. Both are asian companies and they have spared in the past but you never know both have strong markets in certain things. Samsung phones and tv's, Sony playstation brand, movies , camera's, blue-ray. I dont think this will happen Sony is still a very strong but samsung starting its own console is a even bigger yarn than a samsung / sony merger.
Most likely a samsung smart TV with a high degree of gaming abilities.
The reality is that this is were the industry could be heading, if only slowly.
I am on the market for a new TV and what is out there is amazing. Some samsung TVs, like the ED9000 has a multi-core processor, motion-sensing and a degree of gamimg capability.
With the exception of anything related to high-level gaming, these TVs are capable of anything a current console can do.
Put a decent APU in a TV and you have a games console. No need for another crappy box under the TV.
Planned, implemented and marketed correctly samsung could be on to a winner if this is indeed the case.
Maybe become a 3rd party developer or make smartphone/tablet games
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Pretty much. Samsung has wiped the floor with Sony in consumer electronics.
Well, now is the best chance they have in my opinion so they might as well go for it.
