The “console war” as we know it is basically over. Sometime in the last couple of years revenue from console games and games consoles made up less than 50% of the games industry total revenue, and that number is only going to continue to decline.
Microsoft and Sony’s commitment to multi platform service titles is both companies telegraphing to the business community where they think the future direction of the industry is. Games consoles will still exist, but they will not be the center of the industry anymore (arguably they already aren’t)
7th generation (2005-2013) will probably be remembered as peak game console.
