Many people have said "consoles are dead". With increasing fragmentation (steam, PC gaming, mobile games, Ouya...), and the apparently unstoppable demise of Nintendo, it was clear to some that "dedicated gaming machines" were a thing of the past.
They were apparently wrong.
The article compares the sales of several generations of consoles in the US, and how the PS4 is setting a new record.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
Just proves that console gaming is as big as ever and is going NOWHERE. Happy gaming everyone.
1 millions PS4's SOLD in a single day in the USA alone http://images.wikia.com/adv...
As i have said a million times already. Mobile gaming will never replace console gaming.
Mobile gaming will never have
1. The graphics of console gaming
2. Screen size of console gaming
3. The sound of console gaming
4. The ease and fun of console gaming at home with friends
The majority of those kids playing mobile games will eventually grow up and want something more deep than mbile gaming. Its a given. Console gaming is here to stay and i don't see it going anywhere for the foreseeable future.
Proof that consoles aren't going anywhere.
Mobiles will NOT take over gaming.
Some people say that mobiles will 'dwarf' the PS4 and XBO in terms of power, but Iphones cost more than the PS4 and the XBO (when they first come out). Could you imagine how expensive that crap would be? It's barely possible anyway, as you would need to develop quantum physics for the damn phone to match the PS4/XBO. You can only make chips and processors so small before they fry like a chicken.
Console gaming is bigger than ever and it's not going ANYWHERE.
Not probably, it IS the fastest selling console of all time:
