There probably will be a PS5 at some point because there simply isn't the infrastructure for streaming gameplay to be viable. I mean, seriously, streaming TV hasn't even been perfected yet. The trouble I get trying to get Netflix to just fucking load is ridiculous.
The main problem I have is that the concept of consoles is stupid. We don't have this with any other media, so why do we have it with video games. Proprietary media devices make so little sense, we don't let Universal Studios, Disney, and 20th Century Fox release three different DVD players which can play their films as well as "multiplatform" films from Dreamworks, Paramount Pictures, etc. See how daft that sounds... well that's exactly what we do with video games. Eventually publishers will realise the best way to sell games to the widest audience is by having a universal console, and it will become the norm, until then we have to endure the "console war"
PS: A note to all the smug PC gamers who intend to claim the PC "already is a universal console", no it's fucking not. You can't play InFamous, Lost Odyssey, Uncharted, Vanquish, Super Mario 3D World, Pokémon X/Y, Resonance Of Fate, Demon's Souls, Bayonetta and so many more... until PC suddenly gets every single game it's not the universal console. Oh, and don't say emulation, you and I both know you can't emulate a PS3 so don't lie and say you can; in order to do that you'd need thousands of pounds worth of computer and if you have that you may as well just buy a PS3, Mr. Moneybags.
