What platforms will be around in 10 years?

10 years is still in the next generation. I guess we will be looking at "Pro" consoles and some outrageously priced GPU.

I kinds hope nintendo joins in on pc and I can have everything in one place. Consoles still derserve a place in the market but with so many Console benefits gone I would prefer to just have one platform.
 
My guess is Apple will start taking gaming seriously and buy something like Valve or Epic, and start creating gaming specific chips for Macs.

Ultimately, I think everything is pointing to a massive consolidation, (it seems Microsoft is in a hurry to get there) all that will be left is pc with the option to stream from the cloud to other devices. Maybe Nintendo will never give in however and it will PC and Nintendo.

It's already my default mode for quite a while anyway.
You have/will have everything (in the future) with this setup. Good way to go!!! You certainly do not need an Xbox if you have a decent PC, and Sony will cave much later.

The main “platforms” will all still be around. The question is, will they require hardware. My hope is that they won’t.

PlayStation and Nintendo Something, for sure. PC too obviously (Steam for sure, Epic probably, etc).

Xbox as a service, probably. As a dedicated home console, not as sure.

I don't think gabe does much of anything these days. It'd be like saying Nintendo games will drop in quality once Miyamoto leaves
The issue with losing mr.newell isn't what he does, he can sit in his office huffing paint and it'd be fine, the thing is without him will valve stay private?

For the good ending, you need to present an actual piece of chocolate to the console's included camera on White Day, choose the menu option to ask her out while presenting the chocolate and upon her agreeing, actually eating it (She will delete your console's HDD in retaliation).
 
Just a connection device to Clould native platforms.
They'll sell it as an eco friendly movement that reduces plastic and electronic waste for not producing any hardware for gaming purposes, and for investors the definitive solution to game piracy (so no more local files to tinker with, even though current platforms are really good in protecting their ips, denuvo in pc, pluton on xbox and sony with his atm unbreakable HV)
 
PS7 - Sony
CCP(S1) - Tencent
Switch Double Down - Nintendo (the system can now be set into 2 Switch 1 docks at once for more juice, and the docks light up)
XXXbox - Microhard (they change their name following multiple future acquisitions, including most porn sites on the internet)
Two Switches One Dock surely?

Not in 10 years, but definetely where things are ultimately heading towards. And MS is trying its best to accelerate the process while positioning itself as the uncontested leader by a mile as far as AA and AAA games are concerned. The remaining will be indy games running natively on PC home hardware with development costs coming from Kickstarter campaigns.
