Not dead, no, but expectations need to be moderated. Because there are other options for kids, and some kids who would have bought a console in past decades will buy tablet or smartphone instead it means consoles will shrink this generation and only grow modestly in future generations (if there are any more consoles of the type we have now. I think in soe ways the traditional game console is doomed, if not 9th gen then 10th gen. And we will be gaming through something that doesn't resemble the consoles of the '90s, '00s, and '10s . |
For me moderate expectation is that consoles will still sell as well as it is now if it get the good support,high expectation is if consoles will stiill growing every generation.
You said kids who would buy a console will buy a smartphone instead that mean he never bought a console before that proof console will not grow but will not shrink severely.
Like i said people are different taste said all people will because smartphone gamers because it's cheap is just like all people will take the jobs that pay the most.
