I'm here guys to present you with a possible future for the gaming industry. What if the future of gaming is going mobile?

Imagine Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo finally drop out of the hardware race. They start putting their games on the mobile market, and PC.

What is your opinion of this future? Is it possible that something like this happens? If it does, would you go PC and mobile? Would it be any different playing Zelda on your new phone? Or uncharted on the PC? What do you think?

The future is content and streaming.

Will there even be another gen of hardware as we know it?


And where would we stream the content?

any internet enabled device.


So the PC and mobile is the future! Why do you need a console if you can download a game for you PC or phone?

Well this is going to sound ignorant but, what is streaming? I think i don't get the difference...

streaming is playing a game remotely, the game is hosted in the cloud.  Your device just renders the image and all the work is done by the cloud based server.

Oh then what is the point of a Console? Can't you stream on PC and on your phone? If that is the case then we wouldn't need a new console... The future of gaming could be no more consoles althogether. We would just use a Pc or a phone to play games!

I know.  I am agreeing with you!! lol

Which is why I said in my first post "will we even see a next gen of consoles?"  my point was that we arguably wont need them.


Oh sorry I didn't get it... xD

I think it could be a possible future but I woudl miss the consoles a lot... I really like my 3DS or my PS 3 and Wii u

the future is virtual reality



The console makers might make their own gaming phones. I could see myself buying a nintendo phone.
