Portable gaming can never compare to console gaming.

let us enjoy all the consoles while they last

@ article:

lol, Never. although there might be one possible way !

I'm not going to be playing a DS/PSP in my house. I'd rather play on a big ass TV or monitor with higher quality games.

but it's not the same as gaming on an hdtv with surround sound and high definition graphics. portable gaming is pretty much a watered down version of console gaming.

"Game consoles aren't the future" sounds like something patcher would say. I couldn't possibly give up my 50 inch lcd tv for gaming

Sadly, his statement is more true than most would like to believe... although not in the way he's thinking, I think.

Low-power chips are the future, not only because battery tech hasn't improved in eons, but because in the near future (I'm talking like 20 years here), power (electricity, which will be in high demand once oil starts to run dry) is going to cost you a freaking fortune, thanks to huge demand, and not enough supply.

Its entirely possible that future consoles could literally be nothing more than handhelds that hook up to your smallish OLED TV, thanks to gov't imposed power limits coming into your house.

You think I'm joking. Check back in 20 years.

I love all the content I've played on DS. But I find myself more and more getting out of handheld gaming. And I'd rather play it in HD. Also when handheld games come out, I always get mad they're not on consoles(ie pokémon, third birthday, peach walker, etc) game that should be polished and put on console)

Holographic consoles are the future w/ Holographic discs. :P

The only time i go out is to Asda for fags , the rest of the time i'm on my back on the sofa with a dual shock in my hands. i have got a psp for little cosy totally in bed times but 99.9 % of my gaming is done on ps3. i suppose i could sit on the bench outside asda where i sometimes have a post supermarket fag. i refuse to allow consoles to stop being produced.

Dang that's it if there will be no more consoles then I'll have to

play Bear Blasting for fun .

Good thing for us console players that we actually live in the present instead of the future.

I'm thinking if the future means playing games on little tiny screens only instead of my big old expensive wonderful TV, then I guess I won't be playing games in the future.

Consoles ensure we can play games without worrying about having the right hardware.
So no.
I like my games big as well.

Btw; Handhelds have amazing games.

yeah totally disagree with this.

I like my PSP but I love my PS3. You just can't have the same gaming experience that you have with booming surround sound and a big screen.

I think also a hand held eliminates the social aspect of gaming. How many people here love to just have a few friends over, pop in a game like Modern Warfare or something online, and pass the controller around when you die? That's like a staple of gaming these days.

My reaction to this can only be explained by this following video.

i agree with him, soon, consoles will become portables, probably you will have a way to plug it on a big screen and use the portable just as a controler, but it's a fact that consoles as we have then today are soon going to disappear...

Game consoles aren't going anywhere. Nintendo showed this gen that it is very possible to make boat loads of cash with a home console. Microsoft and Sony want in on such a thing.

This is my opinion only, but I think in time hand helds will be the future. People said the same thing about desktops vs laptops. Gut feeling says that in time the same parallel will apply to consoles vs hand helds. Doesn't mean I like it though.

Man, i own every handheld there is, and i tend to buy a lot of games for them too. However i have never gamed on my hadheld nearly as much as my consoles.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
