Microsoft starts putting exclusives on PC...so it's the "death of consoles"? Lol. Okay. Maybe it's simply a sign Microsoft shouldn't have gotten into console gaming the first place?

 

I think a few people got that "Xbox fan tantrum" vibe from reading it. It's only natural following recent events.

The rest of tech industry. Only 2 years after Xbox One and PS4 released, Nintendo look likely to bring out a hybrid, with the same power, a 1080p screen, much smaller form factor than the PS4 and a wealth of connecting means not even in the PS4 or Xbox One. And knowing Nintendo they will be cheap in price to. A device small enough to be a handheld and powerful enough to be a home console via hdmi dongle attached. However you look at it, the PS4 and Xbox One are currently very old tech already.

Its not just about power though. Its more and more about features. 4k, Connecting other devices and so on.

The PS4 is already behind the tech industry but is selling gangbusters? PS4 is very old tech yet they bringing VR to consoles? So, does power matter?

As for wealth of connecting means, you haven't said what that means.

As for handheld device, we people don't want to carry more than their phone.

We don't want to carry more your right. But we didn't know that before we were shown that. As for connected devices, go look at the rumoured leaks of NX recently.

Like the one that says that the NX will work with the PS4?

Mobiles can eat some of the gaming market of portable consoles, but there aren't satisfying replacements for home consoles.
