Computer Mouse R.I.P. In Five Years, Experts Say

Is the end of the venerable computer mouse at hand?

BigKev456523d ago

I'll just use my penis to move the curser then.

Overr8ed6523d ago

haha, funny bubble 4 you... yea i dont see it leaving for a while.

JsonHenry6523d ago

I hope not. I get to tired to use anything buy a mouse or gamepad sometimes. All this motion control stuff is cool. But not when you are winding down for the evening.

TheIneffableBob6523d ago (Edited 6523d ago )

Touch screens and pointing devices like the Wiimote may seem cool and may look like they are the future, but they're not quite as versatile as the mouse. Also, they both will be tiring to use for extended periods of time.

Voiceofreason6522d ago

They are also extremely light. You don't hold a controller for hours on end now when gaming?

TheIneffableBob6522d ago

The difference between a controller and a pointing device is that with a controller, you're using it in a rested position. With a pointing device, you're pointing it at the screen, and to do that you have to lift your arm in the air.

As an expert I say they're wrong.
Unless we get "Matrix like" input to control things with our brain(perfectly) the mouse is here to stay.

solidsnakus6523d ago

lol. they can say anything really..."exeperts say wii, 360 and ps3 will all die off due to the tremendous superiority of pc gaming."

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.

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….

S2Killinit30d ago

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

Jingsing30d 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.

Tanktopmaster9230d 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
