There is more chance the generation will be longer then shorter people still buy ps3 and xbox360 well even after X1 and PS4 launch and they are both expensive for a 8 years old consoles and 3rd party still support last gen consoles because they are not ready to abandon last gen the same thing will happen to PS4 and X1.

Longer gen will make slowing the increase  of developement cost.

pc was always stronger then consoles it didn't stop ps2 to sell well and ps3 modestly well people who buy consoles don't want to upgrade many time their pc to play newer games a console will be supported for 10 years without upgrading and smartphone targer people who never play games before.

ps4 need to get new people, who never played games before to reach 100million

what about all the ps1 and ps2 people, who stopped playing videogames afer x years? u need to compensate that sales...

 

thats a logic mistake u made

its simple. pc and mobile phones compete with consoles. no matter, if the pc was always stong (btw it was never such a stong gaming platform, like today) and didnt stop ps2 and ps3 to sell well.

 

how is this questionable?

i never said they compete directly and in the same area as ps4 vs xbox one vs wii u

but they compete for the same people who play digital games

 

 

just a short example of myself:

first i was a handheld + pc gaming guy (gameboy era)

then pc gaming + console guy ( xbox 360 late / wow era)

now i'm a console + mobile phone guy

 

all compete for me spendig money on games...

ps2+xb sold 181 millions and ps3+x360 does 165 millions when both ps3 and xbox360 productions stop the result of ps3+x360 will be very close to ps2+xb total it dosn't look like many ps2 gamers stop playing games but a lot of them just bougth an x360 untead of ps3.And since ps4 is the console by choice for hardcore gamers xbox360 will buy an PS4 instead of X1.

If pc and smartphone don't directly compete with console their is no threat for consoles,you still play on console despite having a mobile phone and millions of peoples are like you so smartphone will not stop people buying ps4
