I have a laptop PC for all my entertainment needs and it isn't limited by the innards inside. I can do just about anything on it. My PS4 and Wii U are for gaming and for brief Internet surfing only. That's what consoles need to be made for. At this point, everybody has a laptop PC, smartphone or tablet and that's what they use for their all-in-one entertainment needs.

I remember Rick Dyer's Halcyon system; they talked about it in Electronic Games back in 1984. I wanted one of those as a kid. Sadly, they are the least known victims of the Great Video Game Crash. There is a website devoted to these early laser-disc systems and their games.
