[THE BIG WEEKLY QUESTION] Please sir, can I have some more?

[Fez]

Hey

Theres been a lot of rumours about Sony staying with a TEN YEAR PS3 plan, and Microsoft about to cash in on the 360 and move on, Nintendo are doing their own thing.

But quite frankly, I don't see how the next console could actually change anything. If games are gonna move on, the only checkbox they need to fill is to be fully downloadable - and that requires bandwidth that most of the world doesn't have.

So... have consoles reached the end of the line?

Me, I dunno.

Depends, maybe they won't be making bigger and better new consoles, they'll just make improvements from the current consoles, such as Xbox 360 getting new models Elite etc, soon there may be a Xbox 720 or whatever they're gonna call it, who knows it could be the Xbox Model or it could be a hand held.

[Jord]

No there will always be consoles

[Jam]

All crap. They'll continue to churn out a new console every 5 years.

[Jibbish]

I don't see how they can improve the ones we have now? :S

It'll probably evolve into a casual gaming market.

It'll probably evolve into a casual gaming market.

Unfortunately he is probably right, with more and more money in the casual gaming market companies are going to go there as the benefits are way better.
