They fucking better release another console lol
I'm hoping that enough of us are still alive that make up a chunk of older gamers that they still put out hardware. Even if its at a higher price or something. As I get older, I just don't really trust having all my stuff in subscriptions or online only and sorta separate it with certain things. So TV might be the only thing i'm ok with cause having a show get pulled isn't a big deal to me (cause Ima steal it from torrents anyway lol) , but gaming I like to keep most of my set up physical as look at what we are dealing with with the PS Stores for Vita, PSP, PS3 etc.
If they are able to make some set up where you can download the game, put it on a disk, but the disk ONLY works on your PS8 or something, then I'd be ok with that if they have this intention of doing a rental or streaming thing, if they still have an option for consumers who wish to game offline/physical.
Like PS8 or NextBox6 you have an option to stream on the past gens, PC and some new mini box, but a more expensive option you buy a system with a disk drive, you buy the disk YOURSELVE like a certain RedRay (I don't know what they asses will be making in 20 years lol) and the drive can download the game, burn it to a disk and that disk can only be read on your system as DRM or something. It sounds crazy, but shit if we are the only 20%.....many of us might be willing to do such a set up if it means we can still game the way we wish to game.
