Handhelds-Nintendo will try their best to avoid losing to smartphones. Sony will delegate Vita to a companion device to PS4.
Consoles-Sony will might M$ intensely for NA marketshare, Nintendo will do....ok I really don't know wtf they're doing.
Games-Expect more FPS and Open-World. Say goodbye to minigame collections, less platforming. Indies continue to gain respect.
Developers-More Western 3rd party developers pursue AAA, more go bankrupt. Japanese devs move to handhelds,and more start embracing PC. Expect less console titles from Japan in general. Square Enix wildcard, they can either screw up completely or regain relevance. I expect at least 1 major 3rd party publisher to go bankrupt this gen.
Market in general this gen contracts moderately, from 225 million handhelds to somewhere around 100-130 million, consoles around 150 million from 250 million.
