As some of you have heard this generation of consoles most likely won't out do it's predeccssors, and i've heard some say this might be the last generation of dedicated gaming consoles.
I myself honestly think that the console industry is going to have to shrink or it will go under, in otherwords i think the industry is going to a have to go back to say a 5th generation or 6th generation sized market to stay profitable. This just my own idea, which i'm sure i'm not the first to have it but just thought i'd share it.

Thanks for sharing this idea 6 years late, and fyi, this idea has been proven 6 years wrong.
If you are trying to say mobile is going to overtake consoles.
I don't see myself gaming on my Iphone until Iphone like.... 10 by the speed they are upgrading the phones. For one thing, touchscreen gaming feels awkward and retarded.
If you are trying to say PC is going to overtake consoles.
You must have been living in a cave for the past 15 years plus.

Ok do tell how has this idea been proven wrong?

Both hardware and software sales hit new highs in different categories. Wii. DS. PSP. PS4. XBOX1. for hardware
Countless of single games have sold the most software in their respective franchises last gen. such as GTA, Halo, God of War, Mario Kart and more.
A lot more "million selling" games last gen than any other generation.
Not to mention money poured into game development for the industry as a whole is probably mutiples higher than any time in history for last gen and continues into this gen. And yes, people do not pour money into game development unless they think they can make it back.
Pretty much what I am typing is common knowledge for a gamer isnt it? And yes, I have been hearing the consoles are doomed argument for a long time, this is why I am saying it's been proven wrong. To be honest, if PS4 haven't been selling this well, I would agree with you.
