| GamechaserBE said: Creating a thread like this on a console gamersite is not so good idea... Most will never agree with you even you speak truth because it is anti conosoles.. It is kind of funny to see in the Japan sales threads how most are so confident that the mobile and tablet market is killing conosoles but when you go into a thread like this you see people saying it will never happen =p... |
Direct hit.
Just look at what tablets are doing to PCs. Why would anyone think that consoles are immune to that same force when consoles get more PC-like every generation?
Even worse, tablets are a threat to the TV itself. Every consumer possessing a screen that streams HD video in their pocket and another in their bag reduces the relative worth of owning a big shared screen trapped in one room. What good are home consoles if people decide that a living room TV is about as useful as a landline phone?
If consoles are going to survive, they need to offer unique value, but since any attempt to do so is met with confusion and scorn from publishers and enthusiasts, I'm not optimistic.
