Also, writing the word "growth" so many times makes it seem like I'm spelling it wrong. That's weird. |
Nes era - growth due to virtual non-existance of home consoles after the first crash
SNES era - growth due to new(ish) major player, Sega.
32 bit era - Arguably the biggest graphical/gameplay leap introducing 3-d gaming where we previously only had 2-d.
ps2 era - Once again a new player creates growth - Xbox plus introduction of largescale online play.
Current generation - Nintendo courts the "casuals" with motion control and marketing. Growth
I'm not saying the next generation is a fail, (I actually like to wait until systems are you know, out before passing judgement), but unless there is another major leap in graphical/gameplay possibilities that we don't know about, or a new competitor, the next generation looks like it will continue where this one left off. That is certainly not a bad thing in my book, I just don't feel we will see the explosive growth in the next gen that we have been seeing in the past few. But of course, I could be wrong, and I'd certainly be happy to be wrong.
