The licensing model definetly hurts the industry in the long run, but who make hardware if it didn't come such a high chance of profit? Already we are seeing the days of loss-leading with hardware fade away with loss-leading consoles creating huge losses for the first years.

 As for Apple though, iOS will destroy gaming if it becomes the dominant platform -- traditional publishers and developers just can't profit off iOS and make good games, the platform is designed around teams of 3 or 4 people pumping out 60 titles per year and promotes plagerism with many games on the platform being near identical!

PC gaming says Hi!

Outside Steam and Facebook (which are themselves "closed platforms" technically), PC gaming isn't exactly bustling if you're not Blizzard.
