Sure massive MIMO can be deployed with LTE but it's very rarely that it happens since massive MIMO antennae are very heavy for the given cell site loading and not many mobile network operators like the idea of stressing the cell site only for it to fall down because it couldn't handle some strong winds so deploying massive MIMO in the past usually wasn't worth it since towers needed to be upgraded to handle the extra loading ... 

The latest iterations of massive MIMO antennae are getting lighter which are making them a more suitable option for increasing bandwidth capacity with no extra spectrum added which will make them far more deployable outside of urban areas ... 

Meh, the interference posed by extreme weather conditions aren't much of a concern for sub-6 GHz frequencies since they'll penetrate obstacles just fine ... 

Weather condition interference and line of sight is a much bigger issue with mmWaves ...

Eh, I wouldn't call it a device by itself. It's an "integrated circuit" so let's just leave it at that ... 

By itself a modem isn't a functional apparatus without the RF antenna modules which are needed to interact with the radio waves itself ... 

"But due to the smaller cell size which reduces the amount of users per cell meaning less bandwidth competition between users"

I thought it was implied from the above statement but anyways bandwidth capacity for a cell site is a complex topic ...

It's all about the air interface/waveform (TDMA vs CDMA vs W-CDMA vs OFDMA), channel coding technology (turbo code vs convolutional code vs LDPC code vs polar code), MIMO (spatial multiplexing), duplexing techniques (FDD vs TDD/TDD configuration), duplexing modes (full duplex vs half duplex), SINR (signal interference noise ratio), carrier aggregation, un/paired spectrum, etc ... 

Maybe in your part of the world!

Allot of rural/regional towers here are fed by Microwave backhaul, which is extremely susceptible to poor weather conditions like hail and even rain.

Before VDSL got rolled out with a fiber line to feed the whole network we were relying on microwave backhaul to feed ADSL connections untill just a few years ago, whenever there was any bit of shit weather, the backhaul fell over. - NextGen Networks actually installed a second microwave link as a fallback... And that often fell over as-well, requiring eventually a third link.

2G/3G and 4G all collapsed here on monday during a massive bushfire, the ash and smoke took down all mobile communications.

You knew exactly what I was talking about, you are just playing semantics. Haha

It is certainly a complex topic, the ramble you posted doesn't contradict my statement.
Cell sizes of 5G are smaller than 3G or 4G.

Everything you listed is important, but... It doesn't change that underlying principle.

Goopy, if your nephew is 11 then he is still honestly very much a kid, playing PS4 because he wants to be "cool" (is it still like that nowadays) does not make him less of a child.

I have 12 nephews and nieces and they wouldn't be older in my eyes at 11 years old because they want to play playstation.

What defines an adult console? Because it has games like Mortal Kombat where you rip other peoples' heads off? You know very well that that doesn't make an adult of anyone. Adults like intrinsically great things, with high quality, value, challenge and meaning. Therefore, games like Breath of the Wild or Astral Chain easily fit such a category. But even if playing Mortal Kombat made more of an adult out of you, the Switch has it.

To be honest I was sure this kind of opinion died 5 years ago.

Graphics won't matter so Nintendo instantly becomes a high end console.

*Graphics will always matter when gameing.

Dedicated gaming devices might still be used even if it's just for controllers and convenience.

*Or because they deliver better image quality + input delay + consistancy + fix data cap issue.
(your sitting on bush / train, and you go through a tunnel, or under a bridge or something, and you lose connection? consistancy isnt a thing for streaming, its better to run a game locally on a portable system, like a switch instead)

Nintendo seems fine for now because they've successfully predicted the future again.

*You think streaming is the future, so the Switch is future proof, because.... streaming?

DS embraced touchscreen and microphone games that were about to become huge thanks to Apple/Android. (DSi added a camera)

Wii was a TV-box with a TV remote as a controller, the market didn't go that way but most new TVs are smart TVs and therefore could easily become consoles. Every TV manufacturer could install their own Wii Sports if they have motion control in the remote.

3DS used multiple cameras and motion control because that's what smartphones were about to come with as standard.

WiiU thought multiple devices would be connected and would allow for streaming, extra screen(s) and asymmetric gameplay. They do but no-one takes advantage of it.

Switch is a 'tablet' (does the Gameboy count as a tablet?) built around a selection of blutooth controllers and TV docking which is one of the future battlegrounds if 5G is as fast and stable enough as promised and/or when the graphics difference shrinks.

* Have you seen Google Stadia performance? compression artifacts, inconsistancies in resolution, stutters, input delays, worse imagine quality than current PS4pro or Xbox One X.... list goes on and on, theres very few upsides.

Nintendo has and is successfully defending itself against smart devices. Smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, TV boxes. If 5G makes every device a PS6 level graphics beast then the war will be about exclusive software, controllers, friends lists/online, maybe the ability to easily switch between TV and portable, price, simplicity/accessibility, gimmicky addons, local multiplayer.

*5G wont magically make any device a future console, via game streaming. So far Game Streaming has issues and huge downsides that wont be fixed with just more bandwidth, so 5G wont do anything to fix it.

Sony and MS lose all (except online) their strengths while Nintendo's are magnified.

If we all wake up tomorrow and every $30 Android device can seamlessly stream PS6 level graphics with zero lag and zero cost to porting, who wins the console war?
