| Intrinsic said: ldn't be more wrong. There will always be traditional consoles. Well, at least for at least 1 or two more console generations. There will always be a market for consoles as long as it cost less tobuy a console than to buy a similarly spwcced PC and that consoles remain plug and play. The rise of things like steam boxes and android consoles is just livibg proof of this. Steamboxes are basically the first steps in the consolization of PCs and I think MS is trying to redirect its focus now to cash in on that. Basically, with windows 10 you won't need steam OS. Windows 10 makes the PC as pkig and play as possible when connected to a HDTV instead of a monitor. |
I never said their replacements would be PCs or Android machines. I think that PS Now will succeed the PS4, and whatever Microsoft is doing now is a step towards a similar future, most likely through XBL. The only reason I think Nintendo won't be doing the same thing next generation is because they don't have the foundation or resources to do it. Also, they extually have a successful handheld that complicates things.
Only collectors and nostalgics want physical consoles. Most people only want the games.
