I think next gen will put more weight behind 1st party development than ever before. This will be the only thing that makes these consoles unique. With streaming services, Android devices, Windows PC's, and iOS devices all getting the major 3rd party games next gen, console will have a much tougher battle ground.
My guess is next gen will be the last that Sony and MS can make exclusive games. If other platforms grow like I expect, people are not going to be buying multiple devices for gaming. If something is not available for their media center of choice, they won't buy it.
The days of people being confused by PC are fading. The days of PC's that are connected exclusively to a monitor are nearly over. Gone are the days were consoles were simple plug and play devices. Owning a Playstation no longer means any game you buy will play on it. IMO, consoles need to open up, or they will fail in todays market.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
