| KBG29 said: These are all reasons why Sony has to prove PS4 can be a replacment for your PC, and PS4 Laptops, Tablets, and Phones need to come as well. Sony has to change the idea of PlayStation from a dedicated gaming platform, to the best gaming first platform. This is what I have been shouting for the last 10+ years. Nintendo is in the same situation. They have to make Switch a device that can completely replace peoples Console/Tablet/Phone. There is simply no room for a dedicated game device anymore. If XBO and PS4 didn't have web browsers, Netflix, Vudu, PS Vue, Sling, Pandora, PlayStation Music, and so much more, then they would be selling next to WiiU numbers. Microsoft is already heading in this direction with UWA on XBO. I would not be surprised if the Scorpio actually ends up being called Xbox Surface, or Surface TV (Featuring Xbox). If the traditional gaming scence wants to survive, the concept of console has to change, and Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are trying really hard to help keep gaming alive. It is up to the gaming community to rally behind gaming devices as their one stop shop for all content. Everytime we use an iPhone, or a tablet, or a streaming box, or smart TV, we are slowly killing the gaming industry. We have the power to stop it, but can gamers grow with the time? By God I hope so. A future where the only quality games made are Madden, Fifa, COD, becuase the rest are forced to go F2P with major downgrades, is not a place I want to live. |
Yes. PS is going to have to rely on PSN for the future. Letting you play on whatever hardware you want is going to become the norm way down the road. For now the gaming companies need to give you choices to play on, but as long as you pay for the online service and games, they dont really care how you play the game. Eventually you will probably be able to play on any brand device, as long as you subscribe to the gaming co's online network, and buy the games from them.
