This needs to happen, and I am glad both Sony and Microsoft are moving in this direction.

The next thing they need to do is build tablets/laptops and cell phones around the PlayStation and Xbox architecture and offer a fully cohesive line-up for home and mobile computing. This is the only stragtagy that can put them on course to compete with Google and Apple.

As a gamer, I need Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to compete and succeed, otherwise an Apple/Google future looks extreamly depressing. Trust me, I feel it in the mobile space already, if home went this way I would die.

You mean make gaming tablets/laptops and phones but not consoles anymore?

I mean add portable and mobile devices to the line-up.  

Yes,  these would be gaming focused laptops/tablets and phones.  You would have you base Xbox on the big screen.  You have your laptop/tablet Xbox for around the house,  in the garage,  etc.,  and you have a mobile Xbox to replace your phone. Finally you have a vr/AR Xbox down the road that can be used for basically infinite tasks. 

 

All form factors run on the same family of chips,  with all software and OS features being shared.  This is a seamless experience between devices. Everything,  everywhere,  on every device. 

 

If that is not the pinnical of where computing should go,  then I don't know what we are even trying to progress for.
