Consoles will become obselete in the near future. Tablets will pass them in hardware. You'll probably see Sony and Microsoft have tablet consoles in Gen 6. They'll function the same as a console, but they'll be playble anywhere.


What exactly is "near future"? You can't do wonders on power-limited "computers". Yes, architectures get better over time but 360 for example is out since 2005 and still graphics are not better on mobile devices. With the new consoles the gap will increase again by a lot while mobiles haven't even catched current-gen consoles. Also I really doubt we will see tablets at nextnext-gen. How do you think so?

Gen 6 is like 18-20 years away, I think tablets will become powerful enough to pass a console. Also, I think the Gen 5 consoles will be a smaller jump. Games are becoming way too expensive to make, so why would publishers want their games to become even more expensive. So tablets will easily surpass these future consoles.
