Forums - Gaming - Predictions for the 9th generation (EDITED)

Microsoft and Sony will work together and make the Playbox, it will obviously flop really bad and sell less than a million units.

Nintendo will do the Virtual Boy 2, but this time it will be a success and sell more than 500 million units with the biggest game being Mario Cooking, this game will sell more than 400 million units being the best selling game of all time.

Sega will release its new console called "WeTried". It will sell less than 10 units, but for some odd reason Sega will start making "Sonic Amiibots" that will be a success and sell tons of millions.



I think that's a solid prediction.

they wont go digital only with PS5 SCEA boss said 


well i guess my prediction is wrong then. unless he goes back on his word.

Has downloading of games come along faster than you think? Are we headed towards a point where there’s no need for retail copies of games?

Are you asking me if I’m going to say on the record that there’s no need for retail games? [Laughs.] Not until you can download a PS5 to the 3D printer in your kitchen. Retail is important, and not just for that aspect of the business. Retail is great because it’s a place where it introduces people to the concept of gaming, and where experts can talk them through it. Our partners at GameStop are the best in breed at making that happen. As far as growth of digital, it is growing faster than I had forecasted.

wow, good to know. i feel stupid for being out of the loop on this one.

The Xperia Playstation will be a phone that locks into a Dual Shock shell. It will be something like the Wii U's gamepad except it will be attractive and stylish. It will interact wirelessly with a USB dongle (I hate that word) on your television. It will be massively popular with both casuals and cores. CoD will reach new heights.

Microsoft's SteamX service will be everywhere and will own the PC market completely, despite repeated lawsuits from the EU. SteamXboxes will be the size of a router.

After the widely criticized NX program, with franchises like Monster Hunter and Youkai Watch jumping ship, Nintendo will shift to browser and smart phone games. Nintendo-only gamers, after being exposed to the wider market, will lose their sense of loyalty and sales for everything but Splatoon and Pokemon will decline sharply. With his latest projects ending in confusion and failure, Miyamoto will tell everyone to 'fuck off' on twitter and turn to a life of alcohol and hostesses.



Next gen we will be either playing Halo 7 and Uncharted 6 on our phones or sat in a pub no longer a gamer drinking every night instead.

The PS5 will be available as a standalone box that will probably utilize some manner of disk or card as well as download again. (let's face it: to make downloading games that are in the gigabytes and beyond a "common" user experience is going to require serious UPGRADE to our communications infrastructure- something the cable and phone companies have been putting off for years. In my opinion, the internet should be something with a minimum 200 mb down and up that you pay $80 to connect to one time and you're good. Faster connection means a monthly fee, perhaps, but this kind of internet needs to be everywhere, not just places like South Korea.)

 

The XBox Two will be basically the same thing. Microsoft will still have the money to put another console out there and have it not win again. And again. And again and again, over and over, for the next 5 generations at least. 

 

Nintendo will unite their home and portable console into something to be accessed in some strange form by SOME devices not Nintendo-made. Their device will be cheaper than the other guys, but have some kind of selling point other than Nintendo legacy IP and first-party titles to back it up. They will sell enough to profit a bit, and survive for another round. And another. 

 

I will own all three, and play the best games for all three. Just like every generation. 



We ALL wanted it, now we ALL are finally going to get SHENMUE III !!! Let us REJOICE IN THE STREETS!!!

MS will release a another xbox.
Nintendo Nx will win 9th gen sellion 90million units.
PS5 will lose the gen and will be digital only selling 55million units.



Sony goes bankrupt, Playstation brand (SCE) is bought by Apple and PS5 is launched at $1500.
SEGA and Nintendo team-up to launch the Wii Dream console.
MS launches the Windows Xbox with a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller.



Good joke.
