Prediction thread?
Sony software-only publisher within next 10 years.

Buy a Bravia, problem solved? That could work for SONY and maybe even Microsoft through Windows, but what about Nintendo? I guess doomed.
I think it's a lot more technically impressive than either of those, especially Star Wars. Watch_Dogs at least has the excuse of being gameplay and open world, but the Star Wars stuff was also mostly cut scenes (or linear corridor shooting which is almost the same thing) but looked a lot worse than Agni's Philosophy.I was thinking more like Star Wars and Watch Dogs but sure we can do that too. I just thought that looked like a typical Square cutscene to me.
Guy admits his fallibility as a human and acknowledges his inability to predict the future with 100% accuracy.
"CLEARLY HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT LOL!"
Sigh this is why I want Sony and MS to go all out...
Apple vs Steam vs Onlive
welcome to your new trio gaf.
There's no need for a dedicated games console. Even in 2012 it's ridiculous.
After this years E3, who would shed a tear if traditional consoles just die?
Time to find out which one of you is Jaffe.
I mean I thought PSP was going to clobber the DS. I'm in the industry, I make a living in the industry, but I have no track record of guessing this shit."
And with that make absolutely sure its the last generation of consoles?
because with great power comes a steep price point.
I swear I've heard this at the end of the last 2 generations.
Me. I have no use for all this extra bullshit that has infested every piece of entertainment and tech device today.

there will be consoles, unless every potential customer has a really, Really fast broadband connection.
I remember Jaffe talking on Twitter about On-Live and how in the future its going to be a box from Sony, Microsoft, and or Nintendo that will allow you to stream their selection (As well as third party selections) of games to it. No need for future hardware its all streaming.
I think that bandwidth caps and bandwidth issues in general will keep consoles in business for a longer time than people think. All that streaming is going to be a nightmare for ISP's.
I think he will be right about next gen only selling 40% of this gen.
PS3 and 360's pull was HD.
Wii's pull was affordability and motion controls.
What is the PS4 / Nextbox's pull?
What was PS2 pull?

In 10+ years I could see Nintendo consolidating handhelds and console to one device. Bring home a 3DS sized device and dock with your TV or something. Chip speeds will be fast enough and it would be much easier to support.
Microsoft seems to want to go into home automation/set top box future. Sony too to a certain degree. Plus they both have mobile focuses; Sony with the PS Suite, Microsoft with a unified Metro on everything. Both Microsoft and Sony have (rightly) been criticized for a lack of cohesive vision though, so who knows.
What was PS2 pull?
I'd say two generations myself. USA might be ready for a console-less future with its broadband speeds but some of Europe and developing countries do not.
In EU we get R&C PSN games released as retail discs because of poor broadband connections (Overall compared to USA).

No way that's gonna happen. TVs thatll stream games? Come on. How many people upgrade their TV regularly like they do consoles? No one i know of. It might evolve more into a hybrid of a PC and a console combined though. By that i mean kind of like windows launching a windows 8 machine instead of an OS and a console separately. Kinda like mac do now and you'll put it next to your TV and itll be small and pretty. The console and PC spaces are very different now, but i think youll see them "combine" more and more as time goes on. This will blur the line completely. Where as now, a pc is in the office and the console is in the living room, soon both will be combined and it wont matter where you have it. But there will still be a "console" per say. I also expect Sony and maybe even MS to partner up with someone else to do it.
Affordable DVD.What was PS2 pull?
I swear I've heard this at the end of the last 2 generations.
Requesting nextbox and ps4 to go "all out" (making super expensive machines) is asking for those platforms to kill themselves because they will become to expensive for the current market, unless they have to sell them at extreme losses.what are you even trying to say?
How many consoles sold this generation? Over 200 million?
Right, but you have to concede that you're becoming the minority.
I'll have a proper gaming PC by then, so whatever.
Obvious, but it's even debatable whether next-gen platforms will be considered consoles in any traditional sense.
