The end of the gaming consoles

[BazzBee]

Have anyone of you wonder why Sony PS Vita is dropping it prices just days after it was released?

Well, that's because people prefer console gaming more.

 

[Made in Heaven]

Drama Queen much?

 

[Made in Heaven]

As long Nintendo exists, so will console gaming

 

[Ψ Veritas Ψ]

Have you seen "Injustice: Gods Among Us" of I-Pad? ..

No, but I'm pretty certain the time of Consoles is not over yet.

 

[Henrik]

Yeah, soon androind/apple phones can play GTA 5 on line with previous consoles. Get out of here, it will never surpass consoles. Not even Wii u which is shitty

 

[Don Drama]

it seems that everyone here will move heaven and earth to keep the consoles in circulation. I am with you guys all the way, but I always think outside the box. Just remember what happened to Motorolla's Pager, they have never anticipated the birth of cellular phones.

This thread is just a "worst case scenario" protocol. I hope I am wrong with my predictions, who knows what 2014 holds for us gamers.

Look... Phones are phones. Yes, I know a lot of people seem to have a nice one these days, But they always did, It's nothing new. Nobody's gonna buy a fυcking iphone for the hell of playing shitty games, They buy them or their parents for the hell of texting and using facebook and all that shit i don't even care about.

 

[Corgi]

didn't read further when u said android gonne take over.

Exactly where I stopped as well.

If you really think that Android games, iPad and tablets are going to take over Xbox 360/One, Wii/U and PS3/4 then you're just crazy.

 

[Kurama2012]

the day phones take over consoles is the day i give up on humanity

Yeah, soon androind/apple phones can play GTA 5 on line with previous consoles. Get out of here, it will never surpass consoles. Not even Wii u which is shitty

Sorry man but the Wii U itself is pretty bad. I love Nintendo games, though. I planned on getting Wii U to buy Wind Waker HD.

Considering the fact that GTA SA pushed the utmost limit of the ps2, with reduced draw distance, and mutiple graphical gliches were notable even on the ps2, which apparently were unnoticeable while on PC, is now purchasable on iPhone, heck, even supports iPad 2 with added visual lightning effects, and textures are rather smoothed, can be easily played, perfectly on the iPad 3 and above. Wouldn't be surprised if in the Fututre more advanced games will be developed, but saying to the point that handheld will evolve better generation of gaming then consoles, Is just wrong.

So as you can see, a 2004 ps2 game has eventually made it to mobiles and tablets, but still remains far from challenging HD generation or next generation graphic intensed games to be run on mobile devices, so it's far from saying handheld will turn out as a better source then consoles, when they can't keep pace with the game requirements, so not neccasarily, console gaming is still way superior, PC gaming is even more superior, I still remember back in 2004 when GTA SA was out and people use to say, "wow such an awesome game, it's like so expensive and blah blah" asking me have you played the game, nand talking about how cool and features it offered, people really wanted to buy and play that game at that time, now look, it's on my damn iPad. ****ing rapid progression of technology. Lol

 

[DeadManWonderLand]

Android taking over Console Gaming ? lol
Just what did you take this morning after breakfast ?

1.It will never overtake console gaming that notion is absurd and has no ground in reality.
2.The base of customers for Android is different then it is for consoles.It is a market that will never be overtaken by a operating system running on your Iphone

 

[Seventh Sama]

nah, console gaming doesn't die. it just evolves

 

[iNotorious]

Thanks for making me laugh though!

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

This terrible logic smh.

Gaming is a billion dollar industry, are you really telling me that a 7 or so dollar game can compete with a 400-500 dollar console with games at $60 bucks each?

Not to mention the huge, huge fanbase that the companies in the gaming industry have created with loyal die hard fans.

This theory is beyond silly.

Perhaps android games can never surpass the console gaming in terms of graphics. But not all games has to be graphic wise to be great. Candy Crush Saga & Plant VS. Zombie for instance have been reported to be addictive. As always there will always be advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, it is true and I am one of those fan.

This theory might seems a little bit shadowy because android games is still at its infancy. Android games has it own upgrades, where players has to buy coins, items or tools to progress. PC gaming will stood the test of time just like the pyramids, but I am not too sure of the gaming consoles.

Sega has fallen, who's next?

Well Sega was one of the "God Father" companies of gaming like Atari with so many successful console releases. I mean before I was even born they had at least three successful consoles then in my life time they've had the Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, and Sega DreamCast.

The only reason they got knocked out of the console game is because the dreamcast got swept by the PS2/XBOX/Gamecube and they had to sell the company to not lose everything. But they still make a ton of money from the games they release on multiple consoles, same with atari.

Now I'm sure Mobile games will evolve with technology but so will the consoles, and the consoles will always have the upper hand for gamers over Mobile games, not to mention 2 out the big three have successful handheld consoles that cover the whole gaming on the go angle.

I just don't see the console era ever ending, it's been lasting for almost 30 years and there is just way to much money in it. But who knows, anything is possible I suppose.
