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."

And the types of games people want to play, like Modern Warfare, end up being doable on tablets how?  Tablets stink at games using normal controls.  Do you think the WiiU wouldn't have its side controls if people didn't want these games?  People calling for the death of consoles seem to think all gaming will shift to tablets, which is seriously pushing it.
