| RolStoppable said: So if everyone agrees that the term "post-PC" is nothing more than industry speech, we can just drop it altogether. Good. My whole point is that this way of looking at things is nothing new for the video game market, it just appears to be the case for people who don't know the history or have forgotten about it (before the Wii we had 20 years of consoles following the "old" design paradigm as you call it). The purpose of the Atari 2600 was to make video games as accessible as possible for everyone and at a time when industry insiders proclaimed the home computers to be the future of gaming, the NES followed in Atari's footsteps by making gaming as accessible as it had been before the crash. Keyboards as input vs. a controller with a d-pad and four buttons, for example. |
Everyone agrees that the term post-PC should be called something else, as the word doesn't really cover the meaning.
But other than that, I guess it means we've been agreeing all along.
