| Wyrdness said: That's the thing the whole definition of gen will be dropped in the coming gens because of how the market has changed, from how things are looking now MS is going down the route of pushing their ecosystem as their platform which could mean multiple Xbox models and GFW on PC to just the one PS platform while Nintendo with a hybrid would be more independent of the competition due to the portable market also being catered to. Under these changes releases of new platforms would be even more independent of the competition due to each platform holder now catering mainly to a different branch of the industry. It'll simply be like how the majority of consumers see it in that rather than gens they'll simply see it as the new PS/Xbox/Nintendo platform as gens can no longer define them, it's a term that is becoming outdated. |
Well I agree on that, for the time being Nintendo will continue to have regular successor devices due to the portable nature of there devices and the rapid growth in mobile technology.
While After PS5 and the Next Xbox, who knows if there'll be another generation for them, or if it'll just be incremental upgrades till a likely cloud/service based future.
Either way I agree, generations as we know them are soon to be gone.
