Some people are still claiming "wait until after the launch hype dies off", it's been 3 months since launch and hype hasnt died down.

It can't last forever. I'm still convinced that console gaming is going to die before too long

You couldn't be convinced in something more wrong. With the success of the PS4, the future of console gaming is secured up until the next generation. So we have 6 more years out of it atleast.

My definition of "before too long" is probably not clear, I give it one more generation, but I don't buy into PS4 achieving PS2 sales. So many of those PS2 owners will just play on iPads (to my infinite sadness)

Anyway, neither of us are right or wrong yet.

The non-gamers are moving away, there is a slight erosion of casual gamers. Still, this gen will be about 180-200m sold combined. That is as big as the PS2 gen. Due to this, a next gen is guaranteed, not sure about Xbox with all the rumors about investors wanting to kill of the brand, but a PS5 and next Nintendo consoles are guaranteed. But any talk about nextgen failing, we're well into the 2020s.

I myself am predicting a crash of the mobile industry. This illegal stealing of popular concepts and IPs(just look at the 100s of flappy bird clones, flappy birds itself is a clone of the Helicopter game), and shameless f2p and IAP models cant go on forever. That industry will implode.

VR will bring many non gamers and casuals back to the traditional industry.
