Again... DD is NOT possible on consoles, RIGHT????

Seriously, it's a stupid reason to say consoles are near their dead.

Well, I don't need to read the whole thing to know it's trash... the title is enough to realize it's crap.

OR do you really believe consoles are dyin soon??

Guess mommy never taught you to not judge a book by it's cover.

[QUOTE="GreenGoblin2099"]

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]It is also stupid to form an opinion about an article without even reading, but here we are with you doing just that.

Oh I read it after my discussion with Stevo... still think is as stupid as I initially though. I guess mommy thought her son really well.

Now answer my question please and allow me to have my laughs with whatever you say.

It's actually true that we're in the near end of the consoles. Streaming or DD is the future.sethman410

FOX news... that is all.

It's kind of interesting to think about the future of gaming.

I suppose eventually we'll all have an all in one sort of TV entertainment system. Everything is digital. Games, music, movies, internet, etc... All streamed and available through your television.

It may take awhile, but the physical nature of discs and consoles will eventually be digital. You know it's true.

But yes consoles are dieing. Each gen they become less and less console and more and more PC. So consoles will die as they turn into a PC. But the article was never really about consoles dieing. More about consoles as we know them today are dieing, which is true. This gens consoles (excluding Wii) are more like a PC than last gens. And next gens consoles will be even more like a PC than this gen. See what's happening here? Consoles are turning into PC more and more with every passing gen.

[QUOTE="GreenGoblin2099"]

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]If you wish for me to even acknowledge you anymore in this thread, then read the article. Once you do that, then I will care to have a conversation with you about the article. Until then, I have nothing to say to somebody that clearly has no clue what they are even talking about.

Well, IIRC, the article DOES say it's the end of consoles... and then list a number of reasons that might get consoles to EVOLVE, not to disappear.

I am not a fanboy and you would do good to remember that in the future so you don't just assume what I am thinking and look silly when you are wrong. And yes I am a PC gamer and think it is the best. But I still love consoles and can't wait to replace my PS3.

And last but not least. Once consoles have fully turned into a PC, then yes consoles will have disappeared.

[QUOTE="timmy00"]I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. They're just joking around with it because Fox News was dumb enough to make that typo.

Devs certainly want it

-No need to deal with used games which hurts their sales more than piracy

-Saves money in packaging, disks and shipping costs etc

-Can sell directly to the consumer and cuts out the middleman like gamestop, or at least go to a middleman that would net them a better deal.

PC has already shifted to DD, and consoles are becoming more and more like PCs every generation

Also how is this guy an "avid gamer", when he plays less than 10 hours a week?

It's already been confirmed that Nintendo will unveil Wii's successor at E3

lol slyfox...fox news wouldn't even be able to spell their own networks name correctly if it wasn't one of those early childhood words, C.A.T - CAT...F.O.X - FOX

I agree. Consoles are going to die out eventually as portable gaming machines (and streaming based services) take over.

fox news ey? i remember when they swore we would no longer have electricity in the year 2000...hm

I am annoyed with these so called "analyst" and their ignorant predictions. Sure, iPod gaming and facebook has become a success, but that experience is very different from a console game. As a true game, I will not stop gaming and paying fo console games for a long time, and I am sure other gamers will agree.

And has anybody ever played an iPod touch game? It requires you to hold it in an excrutiatingly uncomfortable position and use a very flawed touch-screen control system on a 11 inch screen. Hows that for fun?

If the consoles fall out of favor it won't be because of the iPhone or cellphone games. Personally I think that the demise of consoles would be a good thing. I can't think of a console game that was a good value compared to WoW.

they are wrong.

I am shocked that people would tell me physical based media will last for decades...Stevo_the_gamer

when I can play newer experiences elsewhere in a lot less timeAyrtonsennna

Personally I think we only have about one or two more generations of consoles as we know them now. As much as I'm not looking forward to it Digital Download and Cloud Computing will be the future of gaming. From a business standpoint it costs a lot less money to have you download the game from their server than it does to press a disc, put it in packaging, and then ship it out to retailers. I guess the one nice thing would be that prices could be adjusted instantly depending on how a game sells, since you would be buying the game directly from the publisher, or developer themselves.
