People are starting to talk about it. The unthinkable is happening. Consoles are dieing.
As read in PC Gamer mag: 'Sandy Duncan- former Microsoft VP who unleashed the Xbox on the Europeans told the website That VideoGame Blog that 'consoles will die out in the next five to ten years. The business model is very risky and the costs associated with creating new hardware are incredibly high.''
Alex St.John, CEO of WildTangent said: 'I think that we're looking at the last generation of consoles, because Sony and Microsoft are never going to make back the money sank on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and I doubt they'll have the will at the end of this generation's consoles to do it again. And the market will have changed so much that I'm not sure that there will really be a market reason that can justify doing it again. They just can't afford to burn another eight billion bucks'.
A study done by Parks Associates humiliated the three console makers. The study shows that the average console gamer spends more time playing on a PC: 18.5 hours versus 13.5 hours a month.
With this in mind I believe that they're will not be a PS4. If there is a new gen of consoles, they will have present day hardware witch will result in PC pwn consoles. Nintendo is the only company that might make a new console because motion sensors can't be done on PC... yet.
