Looking at a Homogenized Gaming Future

In days of the past, gaming hardware was very diverse. There was very little in common between an NES and a Master System, and less still between a Genesis and Super Nintendo. PC gaming was a totally different beast from any of the consoles all the way up until this current generation, and you don’t really start seeing proper ports until the Playstation era and they were spotty at best. As we look onto what the Wii U, Playstation 4, and Xbox One next gen gaming PCs will be like, one thing is certain. Unlike eras of the past, there isn’t that much different between your choices as a gamer.

I think there's still significant differences in hardware when comparing the PS4, WiiU, Xbone & PC.
There are even more differences when it comes to the way you interact with these machines. Controllers are different, UIs are different.
The thinking/philosophy behind the new consoles are all different.
I think the WiiU offers something totally different than PS4 & Xbone. It's the one that comes with a second screen that is the controller. The Xbone is designed to funnel your TV through it & as dumb as it sounds to me, others may use it.
PC offers a broad scope of differences.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
