| Wazowski said: That thing of consoles extintion is a myth, the demand for home consoles prove this, consoles will prevail if they keep selling, and they are.. so when you see very bad numbers on all competition (if this happens will be on a new gen only) you will know they the console Era will be coming to an end, right now that isn't happening.. |
Well, PC sales have been in a decline for almost a decade now. Tablets sales are now in decline. TV sales are in decline.
I think that console sales will see a decline this generation from the 270+ million of last gen to something closer to 120 million total. I think that that will be decline enough. THe problem is that so many other devices allow for a "console like" experience. Heck, the Amazon Fire TV acts like a console. Almost any tablet can be connected to a tv and a controller and it is a console of sorts. Once these other devices are "powerful enough" for the average gamer to play the games that average people play on consoles, the need for consoles will decrease substantially. Also, if the streaming of games really does take off, there will be no need at all for a console.
I guess, we shall see...
It is near the end of the end....
