The days of radical new CPUs and GPUs in consoles every five years is over. They are riding the current of wherever AMD & Nvidia take thier chips. I do still expect break points, but they will be much further down the line, when the processor giants move to completely new CPU and GPU designs. I have no doubt console generations are going to be 10+ years, with revisions each year, and new premim models every 2 - 4 years. Games consoles are becoming proper electronics devices/computers, and we will see the way they are sold reflect this shift. |
Yeah the days of NES to Super NES to N64 to GameCube
(completely different generational breaks) are likely over.
Besides Apple/Samsung have show how much more money you can make with a more seamless hardware "family" versus completely starting from 0 every 5-6 years.
