Predict what gaming will look like in 2035

[IcaroRibeiro]

Generation will be seen as irrelevant because of minimal graphics upgrades and very few games able to extract the maximum graphical capabilities of devices. This will make Sony and Microsoft to adjust their strategies and do something similar to cellphones with revisions every 3 years instead of generational leaps. PS7 will be released in 2035 and will be the last Sony console with a new value proposition of being just a "PC for dummies"

People will start buying consoles the same way as they do with smartphones. Upgrading when they feel they need, or when their older version of the console breaks. It will be the end of subsided model, every unit will need to be profitable

Switch 3 will be 3~4 years old, slightly stronger than a PS5 Pro and the best selling console in the market by far, selling 50~60% more than a PS6. Receiving almost every third party game, since almost no third party will be targeting PS7 specs yet

Nintendo will keep generations because they can still afford locking their games on next-gen consoles, but Switch 3 will see a significant decline in popularity in the last years of its life because of lack of generation upgrades compared to games from Switch 2
