Yup. There's going to be very little reason to have a physical console at some point. |
I Really hope that this isn't true, not even in 100 Years the consoles will die, is just Microsoft, trying to make money on other place because their console cannot take the most Market Share, and on the Console market the most important think is Market Share, while on PC, this does not matter, they only need to make a Good Store, without crazy things, and there really isn't any cost to port from "Steam Store", to "Windows Store", the games would became even less quality than they are today.
The Worldwide internet, need to be at the Highest level to this think to succeed, I'm living on the second Biggest city in the country that is also one of the top 10 Biggest country for Worldwide economy, and only because i'm not near the center of the city, more on the West Edge, i cannot order a Internet Account, here are not any company selling internet, we need to go to the Company and order the internet as a Company, this is the only way to get it, there isn't a "Othewise", or you own a company around here, and order a internet for it, or you will only be able to acess internet with Smartphone.
Now look at the others countries with a even wrose situation, the ones that now are growing with the Video Game Market, and even the Highest quality countries, some don't have the Internet speed to do this. Streaming (the only thing that would overtake those devices) would be too much for a lot of people, because of that Xbox One, had a poor launch and a lot of Videos making joke of it.
Latin America, for example, is a market that is growing, and already is more than 4 Billions of US$ on Video game Revenue, if they go with those services, they will lose Much money from countries that cannot use Streaming, and will lose money from the ones from the countries that can, but the user don't have a good internet.
No one can look this far into the future, because things change and you don't know what will change, and how will be the world in the future, Kill something that is making money, and that is each generation with more and more players, is something pretty silly, the one who start this, will be Kicked from the market, Xbox One, just tried to make just the Edge of it on the Launch, and because of that was Erased from the First place, and has broken all the Xbox 360's Mommentum, Why do you think that Sony, is famous Worldwide ?, is because is the one that sell the most on a lot of regions, but really is the King of the Pal Regions.
