People are seriously brain dead if they think "last console generation" actually means "Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo will stop providing gaming services."

I mean, really. It just means it will be the last time convenience gaming platforms will be limited by bottlenecked tech. PCs aren't generational. They are ongoing. Is PC dead? No. That's all it means. What used to be "console gaming" will transcend generations, starting with the next platforms that each introduce. That's all.

PS Now can't be generational because it will be a streaming service that upgrades behind the scenes. Only devs will have to worry about the boosts in power, and it will likely happen much more frequently, like with PCs.

XBL will become MCs answer to steam, and the NexBox will basically be excellently optimized PCs. They will be what Valve should have done with their steam machines. It will be pushed by Microsoft, and there will likely be models more frequently released. Likely yearly, just like other consumer electronics now.

And the NX will be that unified digital platform between the console and handheld. It will have full digital legacy support and will likely be updated frequently as well.

No more generations. We don't need them anymore. Technology has made them obsolete.
