Nah...future is streaming services - it gives ultimate control over content and paymodels to service provider and once infrastructure is good enough, everyone will jump the ship. So in the end, it won't matter if you're on the move or at home, your games are streamed and your paying monthly/yearly subscription.

Talking about hardware though. And I hope streaming isn't the future when it comes to gaming: modding capabilities would take a hit I think.

What about hardware? With streaming, it becomes irrelevant for end user - sure, you need something to control the game, or if it's handheld, to control and see the game, but other then that, everything is on servers and it's been slowly, but consistently upgraded over time.

Personally, I would not like this sort of gaming future - but I'm fairly certain that's where we're heading.
