I don't know, drinking until going back to home becomes a challenge and getting rejected by women are the most common activities among the non-gamer people I know and they don't sound appealing to me.

All of the above.



The industry won't die, it'll just change shape. That's all. Maybe we won't have consoles in a few years time, but maybe we'll stream games directly to our TVs or glasses. Who knows. There's too many peeps playing for the industry to die



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I will try to get a new girlfriend ( keyword here is "try")!

The video games industry is not ever going to really "die", not unless the entire world economy also crashes and shit goes crazy. So asking that kind of question is rather pointless. Shitty mobile games are NOT going to "conquer the market", it's not even equitable, comparing full-blown, actual high quality video games, to what, in most cases, are basically the equivalent of flash browser games that people play for minutes at a time while they're out.

It's not the same thing, and as I've said many, many times before, so long as there are millions of us "gamers" in the world, you know, people who enjoy playing VIDEO games, then the market is never going to go away....because we ARE the fuckin' market. End of story.

PS4 and X1 are selling faster than any consoles before them. Taking the Wii out of the equation, that will remain true for years to come. So it'll never happen.

But if it did magically happen I'd be more than satisfied with my emulators.



i'd do nothing,as games aren't life.



well even if console gonna die a day, i think PC will survive, so at end i not care much, i play on both and will continue to play game if one die ^^



Replay all my current games and get old ones I’ve never played for the consoles I currently/will own.

I don't understand where people get the delusion that gaming is dying.

5 consoles in North America. Only one of them is doing decently at best. It's time to face the facts. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
