hmm where did you get this "tablets killing consoles" from?


if a console sells less at the end of its life then its because its at the end of its life so i don't see how the consoles are dying because of tablets

"I think the center of gravity [in gaming] has really shifted so it’s now clearly mobile. That’s where most of the innovation, most of the growth is. Consoles are really a dying breed, I think. And a good example — again, you can’t do one of these without mentioning Apple and the iPad. You see the lines outside the store here … They launched that a year ago, or less than a year ago, now you have the iPad 2, then 3, then 4, and so on. … The thing is, it’s very competitive. And then you have all of the other tablets, all of that.

I think that tablets are killing the consoles. That’s where games will be played. … We will see probably four generations of tablets before there is a new console, if ever there is a new console."

Lol you should have added that in the OP from the beginning

Gamers will most likely not buy a new tablet every year just to play games. Tablets have games as an extra feature so people don’t buy them for the games.

Why do analysts think that just because one market is growing it is automatically killing another?  They should look up the word “coexist” before dooming one of the markets
