^^^^ This! ^^^^ Actual computers are a dying breed. So, introducing a new OS for people to program for is about as bad an idea that can really be brought up. Hard core gaming rigs are already a small market niche, now they want people writing code for games to make a version for that? Not going to be successful. If google had done it, maybe, as they can throw $500 million at it and make it happen. |
Gaming PC sales have gone up steadily the past few years, and Nvidia alone sells ~40 million graphics cards PER YEAR. PC gaming is not, and has never been niche.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
