PlayStation may win many battles, But Windows will win the war.

You say streaming isn't the answer but don't go into any detail about why.

Also why are you assuming people will have no need for a console 20 years from now but fully think laptops and home computers will still be going strong?

Its honestly just an opinion. I think streaming won't be the answer because unlike movie streaming.... game streaming requires a lot more hardware muscle than what is required to handle a movie stream. Significantly more. 

And I didn't go onto details on that because thats not what this thread is about. This thread is about a simple theory that consoles won't be where or how we are playing our games in 20/30yrs. 

Feel free to make your cse for streaming.

It is potentially very easy imagine only buying a controller a decent TV hook it up to a LAN connection and play games. Internet will be much faster in 30 years and the level of fidelity in games will be high enough for most people even when streaming. The average consolegamer doesn't give a damn about specs and just want to plug in and play games. A streaming service can provide better in that than most pc's which are still to complicated and incovinient for most consumers. Convinience has beaten specs in other media formats like movies and music (optical media is quality wise better than streaming or mp3).
