[QUOTE="HunterHP"]The moment sony leave the console market will be the moment console gaming dies. At least for people who enjoy hardcore games/ quality systems. I think you'll still be able to enjoy them, just on a console that's not stamped by Sony's brand.Console gaming is dying, and this coming up generation will be the last. The future of gaming will be cloud gaming, and how we interact with the games (Kinect). Microsoft already has a head start with their Kinect, and in the next generation will dominate and destroy both PS4 and Wii U. Sony and Nintendo will go the route of Sega and become third party developers on the Windows, Apple, and Android Marketplace.
Not trying to burst anyonoe's hopes here, but the trend is obvious, and Microsoft just has too much money and resources for Nintendo and Sony to compete.

[QUOTE="DarkGamer007"]That's very true. Cloud services like iTunes, Napster, and Amazon hasnt killed the CD yet, and songs are about 3-4 MBs each... Games are in the GBs, some well over 20GBs... I can see a hybrid system where both cloud and traditional gaming exists by the year 2020, but certainly not 100% dedicated to cloud services.. I disagree, while those services aren't taking off, services l like Pandora and Slacker Radio are booming. Internet streaming of music is in use today and is successful, just that people prefer free over pay.If the music market hasn't become 100% digital, let alone 100% done via cloud; there is no way in hell video games will be done all by cloud. The internet infastructure is not strong enough in the United States more most of the world. Unless you live in Korea or Japan, streaming a game that could potentially over fifty gigabytes in size, will not be feasable.

It's not efficient at the moment, but we are already seeing it being done by OnLive. Plus, the OnLive developer has come up with a new communication technique that will improve internet speeds by 100 Fold http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/06/perlman-holy-grail-wireless/If the music market hasn't become 100% digital, let alone 100% done via cloud; there is no way in hell video games will be done all by cloud.

BTW, Kinect isn't that great for anything other then simple casual type games so I wouldnt boast about that giving Microsoft an edge or head start. A touch screen or motion control is actually more versatile and practical for gaming.karasillKinect is the beginning of a new interface with technology. Adoption of the technology takes time, but it is a step in the right direction.
All other technology Sony has been developing has been flopping. One of the few things that are making them profit is the gaming department.you do know Sony makes other thigs BESIDES PLAYSTATION

Maybe when ISPs take off their bandwidth caps and the majority have fast internet connections then sure, but when is that going to be? In the year 2020? However you will still need a home console-like device to download and/or stream these games. karasillThe OnLive has a device that size of a cigarette box (well a little bigger). The point is having a console dedicated to gaming won't last more than the next generation of consoles. They will either be PC hybrids, or small cloud enabled devices. Consoles last about 8-10 years, so I think by 2020 yes, we will have much higher bandwidth that will allow for cloud gaming to be possible.
With Ice Cream Sandwich, high end smartphones using dual cores will be able to emulate the 3DS...
I just don't see the need for individual devices that accomplish just one task, that is sooo... 1990's...

[QUOTE="moistsandwich"][QUOTE="e_stone001"] So Nintendo is being arrogant with the upcoming Wii U and launching it with the same exact graphics for this gen and plus Reggie Fils Aime said it himself that the Wii U will not meet the Wii's price point at launch. Meaning it'll be higher than the PS3 and 360. Plus Sony isn't finished. They're learning from mistakes. MS and Nintendo are in this as well.e_stone001
/sigh....
with every post you make, you hurt your original argument, because its becoming abundantly clear that you don't really know what you're talking about.
Console Manufacturers DONT launch their systems with "graphics"... they release hardware with certain specifications. Thats why we have the PS3 with games like HAZE... but at the same time we have games like Uncharted.
Second, we don't know just yet, what the Wii U is going to be capable of... though it is heavily rumored to be about 50% more powerful than the 360 / PS3, if that turns out to be true then how do you get Wii U = 360/PS3???
Oh and BEE TEE DUBS.... the Dreamcast failed because EA refused to support the system.
EA was a minor reason why the Dreamcast failed, but like I said in my post, it failed because it couldn't produce enough consoles to compete. EA attracts millions of casuals with it's Madden franchise. When EA bought exclusive rights to the NFL license it completely devastated any chance 2k sports had at competing, thus hugely contributing to Dreamcast's failure[QUOTE="HunterHP"]If you think Sony killed Sega, you're wrong. Sega killed Sega. They couldn't compete with Sony on manufacturing systems, plus they were losing money on each region by not meeting their quota. Try again. :P That's not what I said, I just said DC owners were bitter. DC owners do blame Sony for their systems death however, so I guess it would look as if it was implied by my comment.Sony has been arrogant since the launch of the Playstation 2. A lot of the Xbox 360 owners are former Dreamcast owners that were bitter about the death of their console. It's only natural for them to be cheering for Sony's demise.
