Your kids will laugh at you when you tell them you used to have to buy a seperate box to play video games on your TV and you have to drive to the store to pay $60 for a physical disc copy of a game. There will be an end to the home console eventually. Nintendo did Wii because serendipity blessed them with a genius idea that was the perfect product for that time. It's lightning in a bottle, and it's an impossible formula to repeat. Without that, I don't think Nintendo has much of a future in the home console business. Every Nintendo console from the NES onwards with the exception of the Wii has seen a declining audience for 20+ straight years now. The writing is on the wall here, of course as fans we are often the last ones to see it because we don't want to see it. |
I'm 100% sure games will be all digital in ten years, but just like we still have computers even though phones can do most of what a PC can do, we'll still have consoles.
The writing is on the wall for Nintendo to change with the times. They'll do that. Home consoles, and especially Nintendo home consoles, aren't going anywhere for a long time.
