In the end, I think it's good and we all should be happy about that there are so many options today. There's omething for everybody. I don't get why people keep fighting so hard about platforms, we didn't have so many choices back in the 90s. It's a good thing! Just pick what you like and let other people pick what they like. It's that simple, really!


Do you think consoles well be replaced by "smart consoles" for example where they release multiple types of consoles high,  low and mid like phones and have them on subscription?,  I see this happening so it would make it more "cheaper" like phones did and consoles releasing more frequently.

Not dying, just becoming more niche.

It's the Expansion Pak for the N64. It's a 3rd party one too. The official one looked a bit different.

Nah, consoles (and gaming altogether for that matter) are too much niche to adapt a massive mainstream model like smartphones.

Consoles sell more and more with each generation. What exactly is your reasoning for saying that...?



Maybe... it depends on how far they believe in cloud computing... Like what I am thinking is that Playstation and Xbox will turn into a service rather than a platform but that wont be happening anytime soon, thats for sure

I could tell you how wrong you are and how you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, but in truth if you can't understand what makes consoles relevant as opposed to PCs on your own... then you wouldn't understand what i would say either.

I'll say this much though... handhelds are becoming obsolete cause something is directly replacing them in the very same space and form factor they are in. If you make a PC in the same form factor that a console is in and to compete directly with consoles... well, then you will find what you end up with is................. you guessed it!!! A console!!

The 3DS, PSV, and Wii U are all tracking way behind their 7th gen counterparts. The PS4 and Xbone had record breaking launches but are dropping like rocks now. Xbone has been behind Wii U for a month now and the PS4 is only 30k-ish a week ahead of it.
