people will be quick to bash pachter (you guys always do) but when next gen releases and everyone does terrible please remember your statements.

What if they do terrible for reasons different than Pachter's inane blather?

you'd be making excuses and diversions to the real issue.

The point is that the right type of games, games that non-dedicated devices cannot adequately replicate, the storm of non-dedicated devices can be weathered as it has been weathered since gaming antiquity. If they fail, it will be because they stop making those kinds of games.

This... to the Nth degree.

First, it was PC gaming that was going to hurt home console sales and render them obsolete for a mass market.  After all, every household has a computer and they play games, so why would anyone want a dedicated home video game console anymore?  Now it's the tablets/facebook games' turn...

People aren't suddenly going to stop seeking fun experiences, and as long as fun and compelling games that are unique and exclusive to the home console space continue to be made, people will continue to buy home consoles.
