All Xbox One models are discontinued.
Yeah, but there are millions of brand new Xbox One SAD edition consoles buried in a landfill near Area 51.

15 years ago we were going into a generation that was able to support all the game-design choices we are still using to this day, be it open worlds or action games.15 years ago we were in 2006, the PS2 was still the go-to console. The PS3 was not even released and Xbox 360 was on sale with a component cable and with no HDD. HD gaming hadn't started, we were still using DVDs and there was barely any online gaming for consoles.
God of War 2 was still in development and plenty of life was still left for the PS2.
I'm writing this comment and looking at my PS5 and laughing at how much has changed in 15 years tbh.
The original Xbox had a HDD. I assume it was removed from the base 360 due to cost cutting measures, and the success of PS2 without it. Much like how Nintendo left the power race after PS2 beat GC.15 years ago we were in 2006, the PS2 was still the go-to console.

The SNES wasn't even a true 16-bit machine, though.People who have witnessed the gap between 16 bits and 32 bits,
The Xbox Series X and PS5 will be around for over a decade without a successor in sight.How worse we talking?
Nah. Last gen was horrible because of the CPU. This gen there is no real bottleneck. These consoles are gonna be decent gaming machines even 5 years from now. The only disappointment will be the raytracing peformance.Consoles are still going to be woefully underpowered in the next couple of years just like they were last gen.
There's still bottlenecks. DRS to maintain frame rate and having to choose between quality or performance is the state of console gaming right now. It's stronger than last gen out of the gate but the tech is still underpowered compared to current CPU/GPU tech and just like last gen it's going to show more and more as time goes on. I'd be surprised if it goes a full 6 or 7 years without new models.Nah. Last gen was horrible because of the CPU. This gen there is no real bottleneck.

Even without the chip shortage, I have a feeling that MS and Sony will be moving on from consoles around 2030. I don't know if there will be a PlayStation 6, but I'm almost certain there won't be a PlayStation 7.The Xbox Series X and PS5 will be around for over a decade without a successor in sight.
Wishful thinking. Companies dont give up on their most profitable revenue source just cause...Even without the chip shortage, I have a feeling that MS and Sony will be moving on from consoles around 2030. I don't know if there will be a PlayStation 6, but I'm almost certain there won't be a PlayStation 7.

Are you not noticing that this industry is becoming more and more service based?Makes absolute sense that Sony will be like every console we release we make tons of money, maybe we shouldn't release new consoles anymore. You should be the president of Sony. Why make profit when we don't have to right.

Sony starting to put their games on PC means they can also use PCs for streaming in data centres, rather than expensive custom hardware.
I don’t think he means Sony packs up shop. PlayStation will be completely cloud based for PS7.
Seems like everything is made at TSMC, that is hugely important, I think its only a matter of time before China takes over.
Cloud will always have latency, also going cloud only will lose out on other markets who don't have that infastructure. Cloud is going to replace traditional gaming, it's only going to be a addition.
I think it will replace consoles and anyone who wants to game on a local device will need a PC/laptop/tablet/phone. 15 years or so. The markets that don't have fibre internet by then are still going to be the same markets today that have low console uptake.
?Even with the chip shortages, we are still in the fastest selling gen.
I think MS and Sony will phase out the old gen little by little around 2023
What data do you have that suggests this, is there a decline in console sales trajectory? Is PS5 selling worse than PS4 in the same timeframe
Well we haven't seen the whole package yet. What happens when more people start trying cloud gaming on Game Pass instead of waiting for a download, for example. Same on PS5 when Sony implements their two-hour trials over PS Now (or whatever it was they are supposedly doing). What happens when Microsoft release their XCloud HDMI streaming stick, etc. There's no data. It's just gut feeling at this point in time.
The phone market is pure insanity. I just don't get it. What do people need these ridiculously expensive bricks for? I decided to opt out, and haven't paid for a phone in 6-7 years, I just adopt replaced phones from family members. I have never been at a point where I felt I needed more. I just don't understand what people need these new phones for every year.I think there could be some dire situations if it continues. Game dev time will take longer and require re working to be cross gen. It could be pretty rough.
I think the world needs to realise it doesn't need new phones every year. New gpus etc. But that drives new adoption, and these businesses are built on pure consumerism.
It's pretty crazy when you think about it.
Mine is a projection of what we'll be seeing in 15 years time (assuming we're not all living underwater by then, due to the ice caps melting).So you can confirm game streaming is higher than traditional sales?
