Not if enough people dont want it that way.

Just gotta keep buying consoles, and they wont go anywhere.

Im pretty sure the first to kill off their console, in favor of a service you stream, is in for a flop & loss of profits on it.

 

Time will tell.

We won't have a choice. Manufacturers just want to get rid of the 399$ price of admission. They don't make money on the systems because they have to sell them for cheap. They make more money in the content they sell for the system. That's why  they are constantly trying to get rid of it. One day they will find a way to do it. That's all I'm saying.

I don't know when it will happen, but it will definitely happen

Well... i don't know when it will happen either. What happens is that consoles like the PS4 and the 3DS still sell a hell of alot. While people keep buying those, the market isnt going anywhere. I very much doubt it will disappear in 5 to 10 years. That depends more on wether they force us into something. Because i doubt people will stop buying consoles if the great games are still made for them and they keep offering the best way to enjoy them on your couch +TV.
