I think switch is an excellent concept for consoles moving foraward, but I definitely think games a service is the future.....

 

PS NOW and Xbox play anywhere are going to take off as streaming becomes better and better 

Imagine when 5G network arrives and every tablet, laptop and even mobile phones can play PS games trough PS now with ease. Sony can try to re-enter the tablet market with a tablet more dedicated to work with PS now. That's the future Sony should be focussing on and making high-end consoles for the tech fans to release their games on in 4K/HDR. With a code so you can also play those games on the go on a tablet if it is linked to your PSN(+) account.

If that happens, really what's actually going to happen is a company like Apple or Samsung or Netflix or cable conglomerates will just offer a large ala carte service with movies/TV/games for like one price. 

Smaller companies like Sony and Nintendo will get pushed aside. Their value is in a market that's reliant on hardware, if that becomes unncessary it's like Blockbuster Video in a world of video streamed movies.
