“In ten years’ time a lot of what we call ‘console games’ won’t exist,” he {Yoichi Wada, CEO of Square-Enix} said.
Wada warned that “all the distributors and sales firms will suffer a big negative impact” from a new era in which interactive entertainment switches from software run on hardware in the home to server-based offerings, game streaming and digital distribution.
Sorry, but home consoles aren't dying anytime soon. People are, in fact, still buying consoles on an almost regular basis. People are still buying console games too.
So no, I don't think consoles are going away in 10, 15, or even 20 years. Heck, I'm willing to bet we'll still have consoles 30 years from now.
So what are the thoughts of the BombermanBoard crew?
