| Gourmet said: Handhelds will last longer than home consoles IMO. Smart devices are simply uncapable of beating them for games, whereas home consoles are slowly losing all their space to PCs, and MS themselves might ditch consoles for Windows HTPCs(maybe keeping the xbox name), which will probably beat Sony if they go on traditional console route. |
I kind of agree with this tbh, I think NX if the speculation is true could be a turning point for consoles because as far as handhelds go the will always be a market for them even smart devices can't negate that because they're a lite alternative at best for portables and the vast majority of owners aren't dedicated gamers it's equivalent to during the PS2 era when people were saying Facebook games could take over.
Consoles however have the issue of where good PCs for gaming are not only becoming much more affordable but they're essentially a better alternative platform to a console, in long run that's an issue, consoles became huge because of their differences to PCs and ended up on a path trying to emulate them in the long haul will have to become unique again.
