Such a great trade off that like 1/3 of gaming HW or more are still PCs...

You are the one doing a strawman argument because to you it seems like the only possible outcome that hybrid becomes the norm and other forms of dedicate consoles cease to exist. Are you on the bandwagon that assumed PS4/X1 wouldn't have physical drive?

No I'm saying what he said is plausible as if the tech became viable it could replace platforms with a trade off that doesn't bother people and to top it off if the tech matched platforms blow for blow with good trade off like he theorised the would be no reason why it wouldn't, you're throwing out strawman arguments you haven't really countered this and wtf are you on about physical drives.

1/3 of gaming is on PCs compared to eras gone were home computers were on even footing or when the crash happened they were the only port of call for gaming PC gaming fortunately has quirks specific to it as well as genres more suited to it in the case of what the other user said from what I've assume a scenario of tech catching up with decent trade off could lead to hybrid form factors being adopted by other companies as well much like touch screens really taking off for mobile and portable devices after the DS.

You weren't saying it was plausible, you were more on that was the expected outcome. But please entretain us on how the price would basically be the same perfomance too on a hybrid or table console.

PC gaming is actually growing instead of dying off. So even though it may have dropped hard it wasn't and isn't being replaced.

You may put it as "just 2" but when it actually means a 20% difference it isn't that low.

And do you mind showing why this source you brought is more accurate? Do you really believe PS3 attach ratio is 4.6 and X360 is 7.5?

Guess you will also deny that PS2 sold over 1.5B SW...

I am not saying this source is more accurate. You asked me where I got my information and since you provided a source, I felt it was correct of me to show you that I was not making my numbers up as well. As I said, I am not going to argue your numbers because you provided what I asked and I am a fair man about things.

As far as my opinion on attach rates, I do not have one. I just used the information I Googled and left it at that. At no point did I imply my numbers were superior; as a matter of fact, since the beginning I have said if you provided information that I would back off. And I did.

Lastly, why would I deny PS2 numbers? I have never Googled them and I have no information about that console.

Sorry, my miss interpretation. Thanks for the source.
