If consoles really die (let´s say consoles will die in 10 years) will mobile devices get games like Outlast? I mean, mobile has some great graphic games today, so after 10 years, games like Outlast should come out for mobile. Am I right?

Don't see why not. The top end graphical games on mobile are close to games from early this gen/late last gen and in terms of pure numbers the mobile processors should be closing up on 360/PS3 power next year when the new batch of chips come out.

Also, consoles don't have to die for this to happen.

That's my thought on this.  3-4 yrs from now, mobile/tablets will be running processors that mimic these next gen systems.  The weak point might be the GPU's, but i wouldn't be surprised if that isn't in the cards for tablets for sure.

My opinion differs in that i think that this is how the consoles will be wiped out at some point.  It's not a requirement that console's die, but why would you need a console if you could get a smartphone or tablet for the same or cheaper and it would be portable?

The tablet/mobile experience is quite different from the console experience though. Many consoles are connected to the main household TV and enable users to share the experience locally with their family and friends which is simply not possible on tablet screens. Furthermore, by the time tablets catch up to the next gen consoles, either a new gen of consoles will have released or we'll all be streaming our games off of a cloud server.

However, I think dedicated handhelds have peaked now due to tablets as the experiences and functionality aren't that different. I don't see 3DS or 2DS replicating the success of the original DS in the long-term and Vita seems to be only appealing to a relatively small niche. Android and iOS downloads on the other hand are going strong and growing YOY.



My prediction is mobile will take over the console space and push the systems into niche machines, like gaming rigs today.

with games generating this much money on a daily basis, you would be i think at folly thinking they would not be investing more money into the Mobile smart devices market. example:

Candy Crush Saga is making $620,000 a day

when you consider if you may have 3 or 4 such games in your development or publisher catalog, you could be looking at quite the income stream, and all could very well be based on free 2 play models

100% agreement

pretty much what im thinking as well.

 the Dedicated PDA was such disrupted in such a manner, the dedicated game console's i think will not be going the way of the dodo, but will pretty much be in a capacity level of less than 200 million systems sold per/each system max ,for each system each company makes.

because in say a 10 year time, pretty much each company for the generation has sold mainly less than 200 million consoles of each of the system or systems they offer in a 10 year pd. of time  each generation . growth past that will take quite the time i think to atain more than that.

unlike that, Smartphones and Tablets have such a growth level of sales per quarter its just too large of a gap for consoles to be near that level of sales, let alone software sales. I mean each of the big three i doubt expect to never atain that level anyway, they were never expecting such number's but with a level of 70+ million units sold in 10 years time its not a bad number to be @ for game systems to be @ in an install base. esp. when games are @ $60.00 for a disc based, but can go for network distribution to be inline with smartphone game and application prices. So i think the big three are not really that worried about it because selling that many systems is not a bad thing at all, esp. when you have an install base of people you can target your software toward.
